摘要:
A method for producing conical holes (h) in a workpiece (18) by using a substan-tially cylindrical cutting tool (24) having a cutting head diameter essentially smaller than the top and bottom diameter of the hole to be formed. The method comprises the step of positioning the longitudinal center axis (26) of the cutting tool at an an-gle (a), which is offset from a normal to a flat surface of the workpiece such that the inclination of the longitudinal axis of the cutting tool substantially corresponds to the desired inclination of the wall of the conical hole to be formed, while rotating the cutting tool and moving it in a circular path about a principal axis and feeding the tool axially. For making holes having a curved wall section the angle of inclina-tion of the longitudinal center axis of the cutting tool is varied during the machining operation. The apparatus for making such holes comprises a mechanism configured for adjusting an angle of inclination of the longitudinal axis of the cutting tool rela-tive to the principal axis.

A fastener assembly is inserted into a throughhole of a composite laminate (20) to thereby fasten the composite laminate together. The throughhole has a length extending from a first outer surface (38) of the composite laminate (20) to a second outer surface (40) of the composite laminate. The throughhole has a first width at the first outer surface, a second width at the second outer surface, and a third width at a point along the length of the throughhole between the first outer surface and the second outer surface. The third width is less than each of the first width and the second width. The fastener assembly includes a substantially annular fastener device (42) having an axial opening (44) and a peripheral surface substantially conforming to the inner surface (61) of the throughhole. An elongate element is tightly received within the axial opening (44) of the fastener device and biases the peripheral surface of the fastener device against the inner surface (61) of the throughhole such that both the fastener device and the elongate element are substantially entirely disposed between the first outer surface (38) and the second outer surface (40) of the composite laminate (20).

An orbital drilling tool unit (10) configured to be detachably mounted to a rotatable spindle of a stationary machine tool. The tool unit (10) comprises an outer eccentric body (14) having an eccentric, longitudinally extending cylindrical hole (16), an inner eccentric body (18) rotatably supported in the eccentric hole (16) of the outer eccentric body (14) and having likewise an eccentric, longitudinally extending cylindrical hole (25), a spindle motor (22) for detachably supporting a cutting tool (24) and rotatably supported in the eccentric hole (25) of the inner eccentric body (18). The machine tool end of the outer eccentric body (14) is configured to be concentrically mounted to a tool holder (12) attached to the machine tool spindle for rotating the outer eccentric body (14). A radial offset adjusting means (26, 30) is configured for rotating the inner eccentric body (18) relative to the outer eccentric body (14) for adjusting the radial offset of the spindle motor center axis relative to the center axis of the machine tool spindle, and a means (38) is provided for transferring power to the spindle motor (22) for rotating the cutting tool (24).

摘要:
A fixation device (10) for fixating a portable orbital drilling machine to a drilling template (20), comprising a housing assembly (12, 50, 54, 56, 58) configured to be detachably secured to the drilling machine; distal locking members (16) projecting from a housing body (12) of said assembly and configured to receive corresponding locating pins (18) fixated to the template (20) at a distance from a template hole (22). The fastening device (10) comprises three locking members (16), each having a respective pin-receiving key-hole opening (32) for receiving a respective locating pin (18) and disposed at a respective apex of an imaginary equilateral triangle; a draw member (38) having three axially projecting feet (40) and provided with a respective key-hole opening (42) corresponding to the pin-receiving opening (32) of the locking member (16); and a slidable piston (44, 46) acting together with the draw member (38) to control the axial movement thereof in order to fixedly clamp and release the fastening device (10) to the drilling template (20).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for measuring the depth of a hole in a composite-material workpiece being machined by a rotating and orbiting cutting tool (14). The method includes the steps of applying a low-level electric potential to an electrically insulated cutting tool (14), the cutting tool having a cutting head (57) with radial and axial cutting edges (60, 58) and with a predetermined axial length (L), determining a first zero reference position of the cutting tool as it initially contacts a first surface of the workpiece and thereby closes an electric circuit through a grounded workpiece (W), and detecting a second reference position when the cutting head (57) of the cutting tool (14) penetrates an opposite, second surface of the workpiece. The reference positions are registered by a measuring means. The depth of the finished hole is determined by deducting the predetermined axial length (L) of the cutting head (57) having penetrated the workpiece from the total length of axial advancement of the cutting tool from the first zero reference position to the second reference position. The orbital machining apparatus includes ceramic bearings (40) electrically insulating the spindle (13) and the cutting tool (14) from surrounding components of the apparatus.
