摘要:
A milling or grinding machine is disclosed wherein a tool is displaced relative to a rotatable workpiece in accordance with a series of values stored on a master template. The profile of the master template is sensed by a sensing means which is so coupled to means supporting the tool as to impart displacement to the latter in accordance with displacement of the sensing means produced by sliding displacement of the master template. The means for displacing the master template includes an electrical stepping motor which is responsive to output pulses derived from a frequency divider network, of which the input is connected to a pulse generator. The pulse generator is so coupled to means for rotating the workpiece as to provide a plurality of pulses for each predetermined angular displacement of the workpiece. The frequency divider network includes a plurality of successively connected frequency divider devices, each of which is manually settable to provide output pulses equal in number to the number of pulses applied to the input of the selected frequency divider device divided by the divider ratio to which the selected divider device is set. By adjusting the divider ratios set at the respective divider devices, the angular displacement of the workpiece is correlated with the displacement of the master template in a predetermined manner.

A MILLING MACHINE FOR SHAPING CONTOURED AIRFOIL CORES AND THE LIKE WHICH HAS A ROTARY CUTTER RECIPROCAL IN A FIRST DIRECTION AND MOVABLE IN A SECOND, TRANSVERSE DIRECTION IN INCREMENTAL STEPS. SPACED APART CAM PLATES ENGAGE CAM FOLLOWERS WHICH OPERATE A CONTROL AND POSITIONING DEVICE WHICH IN TURN CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTS THE ANGULAR INCLINATION OF THE ROTARY TOOL AXIS DURING EACH RECIPROCATING MOVEMENT OF THE TOOL TO MAINTAIN THE CUTTING PLANE OF THE TOOL TANGENT TO THE CONTOURED CORE SURFACE. THE TOOL IS MOUNTED TO A MILLING HEAD SUPPORT STRUCTURE THAT IS TAPERED AWAY FROM THE CORE TO PREVENT AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN STEEPLY ANDGLED CORE SURFACES AND THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND WHICH IS FURTHER CONSTRUCTED TO PERMIT PIVOTAL MOVEMENT OF THE ROTARY TOOL AXIS ABOUT ITS CUTTING POINT THROUGH AN ARC OF 90*.
