Abstract

Rotary-pallet system, in particular for multi-directional machining of the pieces (8) to be machined. In the said system there is a body piece (2), one of whose ends (A) is attached to a holder, which said body piece is rotable around a longitudinal axis (A-B), and against whose longitudinal guide faces one or several pieces (8) to be machined can be positioned. One or several wedge pieces (3) can be attached to the edge of the guide face on the body (2), the wedge face on the said wedge piece being pressed towards a side of the piece (8) to be machined. A counter-face (4, 13) is provided at the opposite side of the piece to be machined. The wedge piece (3) can be attached to the body (2) by means of a fastening member (1), which is directed in such a way diagonally that the direction of the fastening movement of the wedge piece approaches both the body (2) and the piece (8) to be machined at the same time.

Dependent claims

A device adapted for the multi-directional machining of shaped workpieces (8,9,10) comprising:

a rotary-pallet device formed of a body portion (2) rotable about a longitudinal axis (A-B) and having an outer surface or guide face characterized by at least one counter-face (4,13)
at least one wedge piece (3) diagonally attachable to the surface of said body portion (2) at one edge thereof spaced from said at least one counter-face (4,13)
the space between said counter-face (4,13) and a face of said wedge piece (3) being adapted to receive a workpiece (8,9,10) to be machined, and
a fastening member (1) passing in a diagonal direction through said at least one wedge piece into said body portion (2),
said fastening member when fastened to body portion (2) of the rotary-pallet device applies a force to said wedge-piece (3) which in turn applies a force via a wedge surface to the workpiece and forces it against said counter-face (4,13) to firmly hold said workpiece (8,9,10) in place for multi-directional machining.
