A cell manufacturing method in which a main operator, who carries out main operations that include a plurality of steps in which parts are attached to a workpiece, is moved along with the workpiece so as to transit a plurality of stations at which auxiliary steps related to the main operations are carried out. A main car is provided on which the workpiece is mounted and on which the main operator rides. A main operation platform apparatus is also provided that has a main operation platform for carrying out the main operations so as to be movable are used, and then when carrying out at least a portion of the main operations in the main car, the main car and the main operation platform are moved in synchrony. Furthermore, a subsidiary car is provided to travel together with the main car so as to be able to transfer parts and/or jigs.

Cell production method and cell production facility

A cell manufacturing method in which a main operator, who carries out main operations that include a plurality of steps in which parts are installed on a workpiece, is moved along with the workpiece so as to transit a plurality of stations where auxiliary steps related to the main operations are carried out. At least a portion of operations in which parts and/or jigs are supplied to a main car are carried out via a main delivery apparatus by using a main car on which a workpiece is mounted and on which a main operator rides, and that travels automatically on a predetermined travel route that transits a plurality of stations. The main delivery apparatus has a main serving position and a main receiving position. Parts and/or jigs that have been disposed at the main receiving position are delivered to the main serving position.

A motor driving device manufacturing method for manufacturing a motor driving device including a motor case, a rotor, and a stator disposed concentrically with the rotor on the outer periphery of the rotor, includes a measuring step for measuring a position of the stator relative to an axial center of the rotor from an inner side of the stator using a measuring device inserted in the stator; an adjusting step for adjusting the position of the stator from the inner side of the stator based on a measurement result of the measuring step using an adjustment device inserted in the stator, wherein the measuring step and the adjusting step are executed in a rotor not-inserted state, in which the stator is housed in the motor case and the rotor is not inserted in the stator; a stator fixing step for fixing the stator in the motor case; and a rotor shaft-support step for inserting the rotor in the stator and shaft-supporting the rotor on the motor case.

Motor driving device manufacturing method

A stator position measuring method and device relating to a motor driving device including a motor case, a rotor, and a stator disposed on an outer periphery of the rotor concentrically with the rotor, includes measuring a position of the stator relative to an axial center of the rotor, wherein the position of the stator is determined in a rotor not-inserted state, in which the stator is housed inside the motor case and the rotor is not inserted in the stator, by measuring a position of a radial surface of a stator core, which includes a magnetic body or a conductor forming the stator, relative to the axial center of the rotor using a non-contact displacement sensor that is selectively sensitive to the magnetic body or the conductor.

Stator position measuring method and measuring device

A stator position adjustment method and device relating to a motor driving device including a motor case, a rotor and a stator disposed on an outer periphery of the rotor concentrically with the rotor, includes adjusting a position of the stator relative to an axial center of the rotor, wherein: the position of the stator relative to the axial center of the rotor is adjusted in a non-inserted state, in which the stator is housed inside the motor case and the rotor is not inserted in the stator, using an adjustment tool, and the adjustment tool is positioned using a rotor shaft-support portion, that shaft-supports the rotor on the motor case as a reference.

Stator position adjustment method and device

Machining coolant/lubricant is used to operate a piston of a clamping-side coupler by feeding same via a coolant feed passage to a clamping pressure chamber through a first check valve and a clamping pressure fluid passage. The same coolant/lubricant is discharged from an unclamping pressure chamber through an unclamping pressure fluid passage and a second check valve. The resulting movement of the piston downwards brings a clamp member into contact with a workpiece to thereby clamp the workpiece on a table. Thus, a dedicated pressure source for clamping can be dispensed with.

Machining apparatus with coolant-operated clamp device

A multiple-bolt insertion tool in accordance with the present invention simultaneously inserts bolts into at least two bolt holes arrayed in a workpiece and includes a bolt receiving member and a hold-and-release mechanism. The bolt receiving member includes bolt positioning portions which establish a positional relationship among the bolts that are to be inserted that matches the positional relationship of the bolt holes, and a tool positioning portion, which fits (mates with) the workpiece to locate the bolt positioning portions in alignment with corresponding bolt holes in the workpiece. The hold-and-release mechanism holds the bolts in the bolt positioning portions until the tool positioning portion is mated with the workpiece and can release the bolts from the bolt positioning portions.

Multiple-bolt insertion tool

A cutting tip has a cutting face and a flank face. A compression face for plastically deforming a workpiece is provided between the cutting face and the flank face. The cutting tip allows work-hardening to be easily performed by plastic deformation of the cut-finished surface during cutting, without adding a separate process step.
