Patent ID: 10029314

Abstract:
An automatic positioning and clamping tool for mounting in a CNC Tilting Rotary Table for positioning and clamping a wheel rim for processing by a cutting tool includes a base, an upright post mounted at the base, air leakage detection units mounted on the base for supporting the wheel rim and detecting an air leakage, clamping devices mounted on the base for clamping the border edge of the wheel rim, a lateral chip conveyor, nozzles mounted around the periphery of the lateral chip conveyor, a vertical hydraulic chuck mounted around the upright post for moving a positioning gripper into abutment against the bore wall of the center bore of the wheel rim, and fluid nozzles mounted in the vertical hydraulic chuck for flushing away chips during processing. Thus, the invention is a compact structure with functions of air leakage detection, wheel rim automatic positioning and clamping and chip removal.
