摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided to machine a curved surface such as an inner or outer peripheral surface of a pipe. The pipe is held stationary during machining and a rotatable spindle of a machine head moves along multiple orthogonal axes to align the rotational axis of the spindle with the longitudinal pipe axis. Preferably, the pipe axis is located by using a touch probe to engage the curved surface at multiple spots and the calculating the location of the pipe axis. The cutting tool, which is preferably a cutting tool insert, is rotated by the spindle to machine the curved surface.
摘要:
A numerical control unit issues a sequence of instructions for causing a spindle of a cutter disk in a tool machine to perform successive straight displacements approximating a spiral of Archimedes, with a predetermined angle step from one point to the next, and issues one or more ADIS instructions for merging each of the straight displacements with the next. The spiral path is such that the cutter disk will progressively shave a chip of a predetermined thickness over several revolutions, until its cutting edge is near the intended groove bottom. The tool is then caused to follow a merging path leading to a final point lying on the intended groove bottom, and finally is caused to follow a full circular path coaxial to the bore starting from the final point.

摘要:
An orbital machining apparatus for producing a workpiece hole with a cutting tool, including: a first actuator for rotating the tool about its longitudinal center axis during the machining of the hole; a second actuator for moving the tool in an axial feed direction substantially parallel to the tool axis; a third actuator for rotating the cutting tool about a principal axis; and a radial offset mechanism. The third actuator includes a rotating drive driven by a motor, a carrier ring connected to and rotated by the drive by two opposed, radial drive pins. The ring performs a radial sliding movement relative to the drive while being rotated thereby. Two opposed, radial carrier guide shafts circumferentially spaced 90° from the drive pins and connecting the ring and an inner cylindrical eccentric body such that the latter may perform a radial sliding movement relative to the ring while being rotated thereby.
摘要:
A method and cutting tool for producing a hole or a recess in a workpiece which includes flat or curved sheets of fiber-reinforced composite material, metal or combinations thereof. The cutting tool has a shaft with a longitudinal axis and an axial cutting surface and at least one cutting edge disposed on the axial cutting surface and extending radially from the longitudinal axis with a gap between the radial inner extent of the cutting edge and the longitudinal axis. The method of use includes rotating the cutting tool about its longitudinal axis and also translating the cutting tool during rotation.

An orbital machining apparatus for producing a hole in a workpiece using a cutting tool and including a first actuator for rotating the cutting tool about its longitudinal center axis, a second actuator for moving the cutting tool in an axial feed direction, a third actuator for rotating the cutting tool about a principal axis and a radial offset mechanism. The radial offset mechanism includes an inner cylindrical body having an eccentric cylindrical hole and which supports a spindle unit, the inner cylindrical body radially supported in an eccentric cylindrical hole of an outer cylindrical body to adjust the radial distance of the cutting tool longitudinal center axis from the principal axis. The third actuator includes first and second motors which rotate the outer and inner cylindrical bodies, respectively, in synchronism to maintain a mutual rotary position thereof to keep a cutting tool radial offset position unchanged during operation.
摘要:
A hole cutting tool for holemaking, chamfering, grooving, threading and/or O-ring grooving. The tool is a rotary tool for holemaking in a workpiece which includes one or more holemaking inserts about the outermost end of the tool, at least a pair of axially spaced apart chamfering inserts radially sunken into the intermediate portion of the tool, and one or more grooving inserts also radially sunken into the intermediate portion of the tool between the chamfering inserts, all of which provides for holemaking with chamfered entrance and exit edges and/or a slot, groove, or threads within the hole. An additional O-ring grooving insert may be provided to cut an annular groove around the hole on an end face of the workpiece.
摘要:
A description is given of equipment for the production of screw-threaded drilled holes (tapped holes) of variable diameters in solid materials in a single-pass operation with the use of an integrated cutting tool and with the use of a commercially-available hand-drilling machine having an electronically-controlled motor drive, or any other type of drive, where the equipment includes a tool spindle which may be attached to the drive shaft of a hand-drilling machine or the like, and which is radially displaceable in relation to its axis and accommodated in a cylindrical housing for the spindle, where the position of said spindle housing may be adjusted axially in a specified manner by means of a screw device in a holder which may be mounted on the tool and has arrangements, on the one hand, for limitation of the axial travel of the tool and, on the other hand, for adjustment of the desire diameter of the tapped hole which is to be produced.
