A setting machine (1000) for making a setting and/or adjustment on an assembly (1) attached to a receptacle (10), including a positioning module (100) to move this receptacle (10) on command from control means (3000) to convey it into a setting and/or adjustment position below an acquisition module (200), which includes measuring and/or testing means for determining the spatial position of the receptacle (10), and including a setting and/or adjustment module (400) for making a setting and/or an adjustment with motorised axes for moving, opening and closing, in a clamp plane perpendicular to a clamp rotation direction (DF, DG), a clamp (600) arranged to drive or deform a mobile component or a component included in such an assembly (1) borne by a receptacle (10), and method for using such a setting machine for setting and/or adjusting at least one horological component.
A horological setting machine (1000) for making at least one setting and/or adjustment on at least one horological assembly (1) attached to a receptacle (10), said setting machine (1000) including control means (3000), for coordinating in an automated manner the movements and/or operation of at least one positioning module (100), which includes handling means arranged to spatially move a said receptacle (10) on command from said control means (3000) to convey it into a setting and/or adjustment position relative to a frame (2000) included in said setting machine (1000), below at least one acquisition module (200), which includes measuring and/or testing means arranged to identify and determine the spatial position of a said receptacle (10), and/or a said at least one horological assembly (1) attached to a said receptacle (10), relative to said frame (2000) and to communicate to said control means (3000) the information for the control or/and correction of position of said positioning module (100), said setting machine (1000) including at least one setting and/or adjustment module (400) including setting and/or adjustment means arranged to make a setting and/or an adjustment on at least one said assembly (1) borne by a said receptacle (10), and/or on at least one component or a mobile component included in a said assembly (1), on command from said control means (3000), wherein said setting machine (1000) includes at least one said setting and/or adjustment module (400), said setting and/or adjustment means whereof include a plurality of motorised axes which are arranged to move, open and close, in a clamp plane perpendicular to a clamp rotation direction (DF, DG), a clamp (600) which is arranged to drive or deform a mobile component or a component included in said assembly (1) borne by a said receptacle (10).
