The present disclosure provides a linear friction joining device which includes: a pressing device for pressing a second member onto a first member in a pressing direction; a vibrator for relatively vibrating the first member and the second member; a controller which is configured to bring the second member into contact with the first member by a position control, which depends on a measurement result of position sensors, to change the position control to a load control, which depends on a measurement result of load sensors, and to increase a pressing load toward a joining load; and a joining load reaching time adjuster which is configured to adjust a length of a joining load reaching time which is between the time when the position control is changed to the load control and the time when the pressing load reaches the joining load.

Linear friction-joining device and linear friction-joining method

This transfer device is a transfer device which transfers an object to be transferred and includes a pivoting arm supported by a frame and configured to be rotatably driven around a pivot axis, a main arm which is rotatably connected to the pivoting arm and to which a support part which supports the object to be transferred is connected at a distal end portion, and an inclination adjustment part which is slidably connected to the main arm in a longitudinal direction of the main arm and has a parallel link mechanism to adjust an inclination of the main arm.

Transfer device

An oscillation jig includes: an oscillation jig base connected to an oscillation table; a first clamp member provided in the oscillation jig base; a second clamp member located at a position opposed to the first clamp member in an oscillation direction and configured to hold a first metal component together with the first clamp member; a link mechanism provided in the oscillation jig base, composed of a plurality of links connected together, connected to the second clamp member, and caused to extend and contract in the oscillation direction; and a clamp actuator configured to cause the link mechanism to extend and contract in the oscillation direction. When the first clamp member and the second clamp member hold the first metal component, a connection center line connecting connection centers of the respective links is made straight in the oscillation direction.

Linear friction welding apparatus

A panel carrying device, including a panel holding deviceholding a panel; a second link mechanism connected to the panel holding device; a first link mechanism pivotally fitted to the second link mechanism; a slide mechanismwhich moves the first link mechanism in a panel carrying direction; and a swing mechanismwhich swings the second link mechanism.

Panel carrying device

A panel transportation device of the present invention has a panel grasp portion for grasping a panel, a link mechanism for moving the panel grasp portion in a panel transportation direction, and a slide mechanism for operating the link mechanism so as to move the panel grasp portion in the panel transportation direction and moving the entire link mechanism. The slide mechanism is constituted of a first slide mechanism with a first slide block and a second slide mechanism with a second slide block. The link mechanism is constructed such that the first slide block and the second slide block are connected to the panel grasp portion and the panel grasp portion is moved in the panel transportation direction by individually and linearly driving the first slide block and the second slide block.
