ABSTRACT:
A machining system includes at least one machine tool (10) having at least one powered spindle (12) and a plurality of tools (14A-14F) stored in a magazine (40) for automatic retrieval and return by the spindle (12). A portable fixture assembly (16A, 16B, 16C) is employed in conjunction with the machine tool (10) and the tool magazine (40) for holding a workpiece (WP) during machining by the machine tool (10). The fixture assembly (16A, 16B, 16C) includes a plurality of clamping cylinders (70, 72, 80) and a plurality of clamping assemblies (84, 86) which are actuated either by the rotational torque supplied by spindle (12) or by the coolant fluid obtained from the spindle (12). A detachable adapter tool (176, 258, 302) is employed to transmit the power supplied by spindle (12) to a power conversion system of the fixture assembly (16A, 16B, 16C), with the power conversion system converting the supply power from the spindle (12) to a form usable to actuate the clamping cylinders (70, 72, 80) and clamping assemblies (84, 86).
