ABSTRACT:
A rotary turret numerically controlled punch press is provided with a discharge station at 90.degree. from a punching station. A part is clamped in the turret, separated from a larger workpiece and then rotated with the turret to the discharge station. A transfer arm is slaved to the NC punch press and engages the part at an exact attitude and position relative to a reference point on the part and transfers the part to a rotary chuck. The part is placed in the chuck at an exact attitude and with the reference point at the axis of rotation of the chuck.
Four rotary chucks are provided on a rotary turret contouring apparatus. The turret is rotated 90.degree. to position the part at a cutting station.
A band saw is provided with rotary guides for changing the angle of the saw. While the part is rotated and linearly translated toward and away from the saw by the contouring apparatus, the saw cuts a peripheral shape on the part with the blade changing its angular attitude where necessary. An air cushion support holds the edge of the part at the saw blade.
After cutting, the contouring turret is rotated another 90.degree. bringing the part to a deburring station. The motion of the part at the deburring and cutting stations is identical for simultaneous cutting and deburring. Next the turret is rotated another 90.degree. and the deburred part is engaged by a second transfer arm to remove the part and locate it for subsequent treatment.
