A metal ring loading and unloading apparatus is capable of loading and unloading a metal ring quickly and highly accurately for increased efficiency. The metal ring loading and unloading apparatus has a moving unitslidably movable along a railwhich extends from a loaded ring placement unitto an unloaded ring placement unit. On the moving unit, there are mounted a loaded ring delivering unitfor holding and delivering a metal ring W on the loaded ring placement unitand an unloaded ring delivering unitfor removing the metal ring W from support rollersand delivering the metal ring W to the unloaded ring placement unit. The loaded ring placement unithas a pressing unit for radially pressing the metal ring W to deform the metal ring W into a substantially elliptical shape. The loaded ring delivering unithas a loaded ring gripping unitfor gripping the metal ring W deformed by the pressing unit. The unloaded ring delivering unithas an unloaded ring gripping unitfor gripping the metal ring W under its own recovering resiliency produced when the support rollersmove toward each other. The unloaded ring placement unithas a releasing unit for releasing the metal ring W from the unloaded ring gripping unit

An apparatus for correcting the circumferential length of a metal ring has a drive rollerand a driven rollerpositionable closely to each other for training a metal ring W therearound, and a correcting rollerdisposed between the drive rollerand the driven roller. The apparatus also has a first displacement applying unit for displacing the drive rollerand the driven rolleraway from each other when the metal ring W is trained around the drive roller, the driven roller, and the correcting roller. The apparatus further includes spacersfor spacing the drive rollerand the driven rollera predetermined distance from each other when the drive rollerand the driven rollerare released from being displaced, a second displacement applying unitfor displacing the correcting rollerin a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the drive rollerand the driven rollerare displaced and also to extend the metal ring W, thereby to correct the circumferential length of the metal ring W, and a third displacement applying unitfor displacing the drive rollerand the driven rollertoward each other when the drive roller, the driven roller, and the correcting rollerare released from being displaced by the first and second displacement applying units

Device for correcting circumferential length of metal ring

A part housing or extracting apparatus is here disclosed which comprises a housing shelf which has a plurality of cylindrical bodies coaxially laminated in a vertical direction and equipped with at least one stage of a part housing unit the peripheral edge of which is partitioned into many columns so that the outer peripheral edge surface of the part housing unit may be opened, the respective cylindrical bodies being independently rotatable; at least one part housing or conveying means which has first part holding means disposed opposite to the outer peripheral surface of the housing shelf so that the part held by the first part holding means may be conveyed to a predetermined part housing unit and then housed therein; and at least one part extracting or conveying means which has second part holding means disposed opposite to the outer peripheral surface of the housing shelf so that the part housed in the predetermined part housing unit may be held and extracted by the second part housing means and then conveyed to a predetermined position; the respective cylindrical bodies and the respective part holding means being relatively movable along the outer peripheral surface of the housing shelf.

A display unit of a job aiding apparatus disposed in each of work stations displays a job detail display image for showing a job detail in each of the work stations and a job result display image for showing a job result of the job detail. The worker in each of the work stations can perform a job easily according to the job detail shown in the job detail display image, and can easily and accurately confirm the job result according to the job result in the job result display image.

Job aiding apparatus

A display unit of a job aiding apparatus disposed in each of work stations displays a job aid image for showing a job detail in each of the work stations. The worker in each of the work stations performs the job according to the displayed job detail. The job aiding apparatus decides whether a job result falls within a predetermined range or not, and changes the job aid image to a next job aid image only when the job result falls within the predetermined range. The worker can thus perform the job accurately and efficiently.

A turbine blade fitting apparatus for fitting multiple turbine blades radially to a disc having multiple disc grooves formed in its periphery. A blade preassembly is made by preassembling multiple turbine blades into a ring by connecting together their tips. The fitting apparatus has a second pedestal for temporarily placing the blade preassembly so that the upper face of the blade preassembly is higher than the upper face of a disc supported horizontally on a first pedestal. The second pedestal is lowerably supported by compression springs. Base parts of the blades are completely fitted into the disc grooves by the blade preassembly being pushed downward by a pushing mechanism while being vibrated.

Turbine blade fitting apparatus and fitting method

A ball quantitative supply system is comprised of an upper plate, a lower plate and a rotary block rotatably retained between the upper and lower plates. The upper plate is provided with a ball receiving aperture for receiving balls fed from a ball feeder, and a ball confirming aperture for confirming a predetermined number of balls, the apertures being provided to extend through different portions of the plate when seen in top plan. The lower plate is provided with a ball discharge aperture extending therethrough. The rotary block is provided with a ball receptacle extending therethrough for receiving a predetermined number of balls. The positions of provision of the ball receiving aperture, ball confirming aperture and ball discharge aperture are displaced from each other at an equal interval of 120.degree. as viewed in top plan. With this arrangement, it become possible for the ball receptacle to receive a fixed number of balls, negating the necessity to count the balls using an expensive counter, whereby an apparatus of the described type can be provided at a low cost.
