Assist Method And Apparatus For Fitting Close Tolerance Valves Into Bores
US Patent:
6131283, Oct 17, 2000
Filed:
Feb 22, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/253371
Inventors:
Nelson David Bove - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:
B21D 5116
US Classification:
29890124
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for inserting a part, such as a spool valve, into a bore of a body, such as a transmission valve body. The apparatus includes a gripper tool that holds the part by use of a light vacuum pressure. The gripper tool is attached to a robotic arm that aligns the part with the bore. Once the part is aligned with the bore, a vacuum pressure is created within the bore that is effective to pull the part from the gripper tool and into the bore.

International Classification:
B23P 1500
US Classification:
29890124
Abstract:
A method for assembling a part, such as a spool valve into a bore of a body, such as a transmission valve body. A vacuum means creates suction within the bore in the direction of insertion of the spool valve. A gripper tool attached to a robotic arm supports the spool valve with a light vacuum pressure and maneuvers the spool valve, aligning it sufficiently close to allow the suction in the bore and gravity to pull the spool valve free of the suction of the gripper tool and into the bore.

International Classification:
F16K 4300, B23P 1500
US Classification:
137 15
Abstract:
A method and valve assembly for inserting a spool into a secondary bore of a valve body. A slave tool is inserted into a primary bore axially adjacent a secondary bore of the valve body. The slave tool includes a slave bore axially aligned with the secondary bore. The spool is inserted through the slave bore into the secondary bore. A chamfer is provided on a first end of the secondary bore or spool adjacent the slave tool.

International Classification:
B23P15/00
US Classification:
29890124
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for assembling a part, such as a spool valve into a bore of a body, such as a transmission valve body. A gripper tool attached to a robotic arm supports the spool valve with a light vacuum pressure and maneuvers the spool valve, aligning it with the valve bore. The gripper vacuum is perturbated to allow the valve to be properly aligned with the bore.
