Description

Slider processing table structure with multiple working surfaces

The present invention relates to the field of linear slider processing equipment, and in particular to a slider processing table structure with multiple working surfaces that can process multiple linear sliders simultaneously to improve the production efficiency of linear sliders.

According to the patent, linear transmission systems have been used in industrial automation equipment for many years and are very important. Common linear transmission systems such as linear guide rail systems, screw transmission systems, linear motion systems and even handling systems are all equipment that use linear transmission systems. The main part discussed in this patent is the field of slider manufacturing of linear transmission systems.

Traditionally, two or more machines are used to manufacture sliders. After the blank is formed, the slider is formed through the following steps: Step 1: Place the blank on a milling machine to process the length; Step 2: Send the semi-finished blank from step 1 to a broaching machine for processing through a broaching tool; the aforementioned broaching tool, such as the manufacturing device for linear slide rails with the Republic of China invention patent No. I292351, processes the slide groove and various cross-sections of the slider; Step 3: Send the semi-finished product from step 2 through a milling machine to perform milling, heat treatment, and other operations on the remaining unprocessed parts.

However, the disadvantages of the previous proposal are that only one set of sliders can be cut at a time, which prolongs the processing time. Moreover, when sliders of different sizes need to be processed, engineers need to replace tools and fixtures, which not only prolongs the processing time, but also stops the machine, causing the operator to lose costs continuously.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a slider processing table structure with multiple working surfaces. Multiple sets of broaching devices for cutting are provided on the slider processing machine, and a clamping module that can synchronously clamp multiple sets of sliders is provided on the processing table for clamping the workpiece.
