ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a multiple station tooling machine for the production of spirally grooved products and includes a base plate, a plurality of work stations distributed around the base plate and operable to effect selected tooling operations on work pieces, a support stand coupled to the base plate and supporting a support plate, and a turntable disposed above the support plate, the turntable being iteratively angularly movable. The multiple station tooling machine also includes a plurality of workpiece retaining elements and an actuating assembly including drive motors mounted on the support plate for moving the workpiece retaining elements to and between selected orientations. A plurality of generally vertical shafts each has a respective workpiece retaining element secured to one end thereof. The generally vertical shafts are releasably couplable to the actuating assembly such that the actuating assembly can effect rotational and axial movement of the generally vertical shafts to thereby move the workpiece retaining elements secured to the generally vertical shafts into selected orientations. Also, the generally vertical shafts are releasably securable to the turntable.
