A machine tool has an array work stations which includes a plurality of machining stations. A plurality of hydraulic pallet assemblies are provided to hold workpieces to be machined. The hydraulic pallet assemblies are movable along a main track which extends through the work stations. Each of the hydraulic pallet assemblies includes hydraulic actuators which operate clamps to grip a workpiece. A test station is disposed to one side of a path of movement of the hydraulic pallet assemblies between the various work stations. A motor at the test station is operable to move a pallet assembly from the main track to a secondary track located at the test station. A connector assembly at the test station connects hydraulic fluid pressure with the hydraulic pallet assembly to operate the clamp assemblies under the same hydraulic pressure that they are actuated at a work station.
La présente invention vise une machine-outil avec cellules flexibles comprenant plusieurs postes d'usinage ainsi qu'un ensemble de palettes hydrauliques servant à maintenir les pièces à usiner. Ces palettes se déplacent le long d'un rail principal qui sillonne l'ensemble des cellules flexibles. Chaque palette comporte des actionneurs hydrauliques qui commandent des pinces servant à retenir les pièces à usiner. Un poste d'essai est aménagé d'un côté du chemin de déplacement des palettes, entre les différentes cellules. Aux postes d'essai, un moteur permet de transférer les palettes du rail principal à un rail secondaire. La palette est alors raccordée à la source d'alimentation de fluide sous pression assurant l'actionnement des pinces. La pression hydraulique aux postes d'essai est la même que celle appliquée dans les différentes cellules.
