Automatic feed device for swaging machine - has four station turret indexed by return of support slide

摘要

A base (3) is fixed to the working face (1) of the machine and has a reciprocating slide (4). A four station (6, 7, 8, 9) turret (5) on the slide is rotated vertically by one of four pins striking a cam (19) on a fixed stop (21, 22) to move the turret one station. When this advances it feeds the formost part into the machine. At the same time, a pivoted arm (25, 26) swings to one side and a part (11) drops from a magazine (24) onto the top fixture (6, 10). As the turret retracts, the magazine is closed by a second arm (28) and the part on the fixture is retained by a clip (31, 32, 33).
