Filed:

Dec 6, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/006766

Inventors:

Matthew J. Walsh - Hicksville NY

Assignee:

Walsh-Atkinson Company, Inc. - Hicksville NY

International Classification:

B23P 2100

US Classification:

2940701, 2940709, 294071, 29702, 29703, 29428, 209509, 700 96, 700 97, 700116

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for sorting and selecting parts comprising a computer for designing a plurality of a first type of component parts and a plurality of a second type of component parts. Each job, which consists of the plurality of first component parts and the plurality of second component parts, is assigned a unique identification by the computer. In addition, the computer also assigns a part identification for each of the component parts. A first tooling machine computer-controller, coupled to the computer, receives the plurality of first component part designs, creates tooling instructions for the first component parts, and creates labels for each of the first component parts. The labels include the unique job identification and the part identification. A first tooling machine, coupled to the first tooling machine computer-controller, receives the first component part tooling instructions, receives material for the first component parts, and creates the first component parts. A second tooling machine computer-controller, coupled to the computer, receives the second component part designs, inputs the unique job identification, inputs the part identifications for at least one of the newly created first component parts, and creates tooling instructions for the second component parts.

Appl. No.:

10/785295

Inventors:

Matthew J. Walsh - Hicksville NY, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
B26D 5/38
B23Q 11/00
F16P 3/18

US Classification:

700177, 83370, 409134, 100344, 192131 R

Abstract:

Apparatus and method is disclosed for providing a safety system for power equipment comprising a machine having a lower tool, an upper tool, and a safety controller. The lower tool is electrically isolated from the reversible upper tool. A safety controller is coupled to the lower tool. A pair of electrically conductive gloves that are coupled to the safety controller are worn by an operator of the power equipment. Electrically conductive stock is held with the pair of electrically conductive gloves, the safety controller allowing the machine to operate when the electrically conductive stock contacts the lower tool.

Matthew Walsh - Hicksville NY, US

International Classification:

B23P011/00

US Classification:

029/430000, 029/03300R

Abstract:

A system for producing metal articles. The system includes a coil line system, a contour cutting machine and/or a three axis transfer system incorporated into the coil line system, and first and optional second control computers. The coil line system includes a cradle, an IRS unit/FBS unit, the contour cutting machine, the three axis transfer system, if present, having an operatively connected gripper gantry, a first roll-former, an optional second roll-former, a cleat former/ear bender, a transverse duct connector/transverse duct flange former, an optional insulation system, and a brake system including a brake machine having an operatively connected gripper gantry. The contour cutting machine is operatively connected to the first and optional second, if present, control computers and includes an operatively connected gripper gantry and cutting gantry, and a bed modified to have a pair of reliefs.
