Abstract:
The apparatus has a frame and a shaft having eccentric portions journalled for rotation on the frame. A housing support element for a trochoidal housing member to be treated is mounted for rotation on said shaft to rotatively carry the housing member in a path about the shaft. A tool holder is fixedly secured to the frame to support a tool adjacent the trochoid surface of the housing member. A drive means is provided to rotate the housing member and shaft relative to the tool holder and tool in a constant perpendicular spaced relation to the trochoid surface and at a controlled velocity.
