In this case,frame 3 comprises four substantially parallelepiped rectangular shaped components 4 orthogonal to one another in pairs. -
Machine 1 comprises anelongated base 5, which extends in ahorizontal direction 6, is substantially U-shaped, has two longitudinal guidingmembers 7 parallel todirection 6, and supports abridge crane 8 comprising, in turn, a vertical upright 9, which is coupled to thebase 5 in a known manner for making rectilinear movements indirection 6 along thebase 5 itself under the bias of an actuating device (known and not shown), and carries across element 10 connected at a free end thereof, which cross element extends over thebase 5 in ahorizontal direction 11 transversal todirection 6, and is laterally limited in thedirection 6 itself by twofaces - The

bridge crane 8 further supports abroaching unit 17 mounted to theface 13 and comprising aslide 18 coupled to thecross element 10 in a known manner for making rectilinear movements along thecross element 10 itself indirection 11, and twobroaching assemblies 19, which are mounted to theslide 18 for making rectilinear movements indirection 15 with respect to the slide itself 18, and are oriented to insert connecting pins 20 (figure 3e ) into at least some of the components 4 in twoinsertion directions direction 11. - Each
assembly 19 comprises anoutlet channel 21, which extends in thecorresponding direction channel 21 to prevent thepins 20 from exiting from thechannel 21, and a rest position in which the stopper element (not shown) is arranged outside thechannel 21 to allow thepins 20 to exit from thechannel 21 itself, and is connected by means of acorresponding feeding pipe 22 to avibrating hopper 23, which is in common to the twoassemblies 19, is mounted to theslide 18, and accommodates thepins 20 therein. -
Assembly 19 further comprises anactuator cylinder 24, which extends in thecorresponding direction channel 21 in thecorresponding direction pin 20 arranged each time at the outlet of thechannel 21 and a retracted rest position. -
Assembly 19 finally comprises agluer nozzle 25, which is arranged over thechannel 21, and is connected by means of afeeding pipe 26 to atank 27, which is in common to the twoassemblies 19, is mounted to theslide 18, and contains glue or the like therein. - Furthermore,
machine 1 is provided with a plurality ofcross elements 28, which will be indicated hereinafter with the term "work tops", extend between thelongitudinal members 5 indirection 11, and are slidingly coupled to thelongitudinal members 7 for making rectilinear movements indirection 6 along thelongitudinal members 7 themselves under the bias of respective actuating devices (known and not shown). - Each
work top 28 supports a plurality of clamping vices 29 (in this case fourvices work top 28 in direction 11), the arrangement of which on thework top 28 substantially depends on the size offrame 3 and/or components 4 to be machined and/or on the processes to be carried out onframe 3 and/or components 4. Eachvice work top 28 for making rectilinear movements indirection 11 along thework top 28 and under the bias of a corresponding actuating device (known and not shown), and is movable indirection 15 between a clamping position and a releasing position of at least one component 4. - The operation of
machine 1 will now be described with reference tofigures 1 and3 starting from a moment when (figure 3a ): - two components 4 (hereinafter indicated by 4a) are blocked parallelly to
direction 6, one inside thevices 29a of two work tops 28 (hereinafter indicated by 28a) arranged side by side and the other inside thevices 29d of thework tops 28a; and - two components 4 (hereinafter indicated by 4b) are blocked parallelly to
direction 11 one inside thevices work tops 28a and the other inside thevices work top 28b with respect to thework tops 28a. - Each
component 4a has afree side face 30a, which protrudes outwards from thecorresponding vices direction 11, and is longitudinally profiled by theoperating head 14 indirection 6, while eachcomponent 4b has afree side face 30b, which protrudes outwards from thecorresponding vices direction 6, and is longitudinally profiled by theoperating head 14 in direction 11 (figures 3b and 3c ). - At this point, each butt end of each
component 4a is transversally drilled by theoperating head 14 in direction 11 (figure 3d ) to obtain four holes 31 parallel to one another (figure 1 ); and each butt end of eachcomponent 4b is longitudinally drilled by theoperating head 14 in direction 11 (figure 3d ) to obtain fourholes 32 parallel to one another (figure 1 ). - Once the
holes 31, 32 have been made, thebroaching unit 17 inserts and glues acorresponding pin 20 into each hole 32 (figure 3e ); and thework tops direction 6 to transfer eachcomponent 4b from thecorresponding vices corresponding work top vices corresponding work top 28a and to align thepins 20 carried by eachcomponent 4b with the corresponding holes 31 of thecomponents 4a in direction 11 (figures 3f and 3g ). - Finally, the
vices work tops 28a are moved indirection 11 to insert thepins 20 into the corresponding holes 31 and to assemble theframe 3 of the fixture 2 (figure 3h ); thevices work tops 28a are moved indirection 11 to engage theframe 3 at its vertexes (figure 3i ); and thevices work tops 28a are released from theframe 3 to free an outerperipheral edge 33 of theframe 3 itself adapted to be later machined by the operating head 14 (figure 3l ). - According to some variants (not shown):
- once the
face component frame 3, eachcomponent new vices 29 adapted to engage thecomponent corresponding face - once the
face component components 4b are kept inside thecorresponding vices components 4a. -
Machine 1 thus allows to machine and assemble thecomponents edge 33, and to entirely make theframe 3 of thefixture 2 on themachine 1 itself. - The variant shown in
figure 4 relates to amachine 34, which differs frommachine 1 in that: - the
broaching unit 17 is mounted in a fixed position by the side of thebase 5; - the
operating head 14 is provided with anelectrospindle 35, which has alongitudinal axis 35a parallel todirection 15, is mounted to thehead 14 in a known manner for making rectilinear movements indirection 15, and supports an adjustable gripping and handlingmember 36, which is fitted on the outlet shaft of theelectrospindle 35, and is adapted to hold a component 4 and to orient it about theaxis 35a; - the
bridge crane 8 supports a gripping and handlingdevice 37 comprising a supporting arm 38, which protrudes from theface 13 indirection 6, is coupled to theface 13 in a known manner for making rectilinear movements indirection 11 with respect to thebridge crane 8, and is provided with a pair of grippingmembers 39, which are movable with respect to each other along arm 38 in thedirection 6 itself, and are coupled to the arm 38 in a known manner for making rectilinear movements indirection 15 with respect to the arm 38 itself; and - the
work tops 28 are distributed along thebase 5 in two distinct groups ofwork tops 28 defining aworking station 40 for the components 4 and anassembly station 41 for thefixtures 2, respectively. - The operation of
machine 34 will now be described with reference tofigure 4 starting from a moment when four components 4 are parallelly locked indirection 6 withincorresponding vices 29 of thestation 40. With this regard, it is worth noting that the components 4 may be loaded in thecorresponding vices 29 either manually or by means of thedevice 37, which takes each component 4 from a crib (not shown) and feeds it into thecorresponding vices 29. - Each component 4 has a
free side face 42, which protrudes outside thecorresponding vices 29 indirection 11, and is longitudinally profiled by theoperating head 14 indirection 6, and two butt ends, each of which is drilled by thehead 14 itself in a manner completely similar to that previously described formachine 1. - Once the components 4 have been machined by means of
head 14, two components 4 are transferred from themember 36 of theelectrospindle 35 or from thedevice 37 to thebroaching unit 17 for inserting thepins 20. - Two components 4 are finally transferred to the
station 41 by means of themember 36 and/or thedevice 37 and are locked intocorresponding vices 29 parallelly todirection 6; two components 4 are transferred tostation 41 by means of themember 36, are oriented about theaxis 35a, and are locked incorresponding vices 29 parallelly todirection 11; and theframe 3 of thefixture 2 is assembled by moving thework tops 28 and thevices 29 from thestation 41 indirections - Once the components 4 have been transferred to the
station 41 and during the stabilization time of the newly assembledframe 3 in thestation 41 itself,machine 34 obviously starts a new operating cycle by loading four new components 4 in thestation 40. - With this regard, as set forth above, it is worth noting that the components 4 are locked in the
corresponding vices 29 of thestation 41 at thefaces 42 thereof so as to allow thehead 14, onceframe 3 has been assembled, to machine the outerperipheral edge 33 of theframe 3 itself. - According to some variants (not shown):
- the
broaching unit 17 ofmachine 34 is mounted to thebridge crane 8 as described with regards tomachine 1; and - the components 4 are blocked in the
corresponding vices 29 of thestation 41 at the side faces opposite to thefaces 42. -
