Chip collecting apparatus for tip dresser
View Patent ↗In a chip collecting apparatus for a tip dresser of the present invention, a chip pickup case mounted on a dresser main body is divided into an upper case and a lower case, and the lower end of an arm admission port formed in the upper case is opened downward. During teaching operation, the lower case is rotated to open the lower end of the upper case, through which the insertion of a first gun arm into a lower chamber can be visually checked, and thus an electrode tip provided at the end thereof and a dressing body for dressing the end of the electrode tip are guided such that the central axes thereof conform to each other.
1. A chip collecting apparatus for a tip dresser, comprising:
a tip dresser for dressing electrode tips by pressing the electrode tips to a dressing body held in a dresser main body and relatively sliding the dressing body and the electrode tips;
a chip pickup case mounted on the dresser main body for covering the dressing body; and
an arm admission port opened in the chip pickup case, into which gun arms having the electrode tips at the ends thereof are inserted; and
a shielding member disposed at the arm admission port for allowing the insertion of the gun arms by elastic deformation,
wherein the chip pickup case is divided in the vicinity of the arm admission port such that it can freely be opened and closed.
2. The chip collecting apparatus for the tip dresser, according to claim 1 , wherein:
the chip pickup case is divided into an upper case and a lower case at the midpoint or the lower part of the arm admission port.
3. The chip collecting apparatus for the tip dresser, according to claim 1 , wherein:
the chip pickup case is divided to right and left at the arm admission port such that it can freely be opened and closed.
4. A chip collecting apparatus for a tip dresser, comprising:
a tip dresser for dressing electrode tips by pressing the electrode tips to a dressing body held in a dresser main body and relatively sliding the dressing body and the electrode tips:
a chip pickup case mounted on the dresser main body for covering the dressing body;
an arm admission port opened in the chip pickup case, into which gun arms having the electrode tips at the ends thereof are inserted;
a shielding member disposed at the arm admission port for allowing the insertion of the gun arms by elastic deformation; and
a window provided at one side of the chip pickup case, through which the positional relationship between the dressing body and the electrode tips can be viewed.
