Abstract:
A pressure medium controlled counterbore tool with one or multiple cutters for metal cutting, which can be actuated in their swivel position by supplying a pressure medium, wherein the actuation of at least one cutter is performed by at least one cutter by means of at least one piston-cylinder unit actuated by the pressure medium.

The transmission of the rotational movement to the driving pinion of the carriage is provided by: a first gear train with a cage mounted so that it can rotate about the axial shaft and the crown wheel of which meshes with a pinion fitted onto the shaft of an electric motor carried by the body, this train carrying at least two superposed planet pinions and meshing, in the case of the upper one, with a set of teeth formed around the axial shaft and, in the case of the lower one, with an output sun gear, a second train, the sun gear of which is secured to the output sun gear of the first train and meshes with the upper planet pinion of at least one set of superposed planet pinions which are mounted so that they are free to rotate in a continuation of the body, the lower planet pinion meshing with a set of teeth which, formed on the driving pinion of the carriage, is distinct from the set of teeth that collaborates with the rack of this carriage, these two sun gears having ratios which are other than 1 and inverse, while the electric motor driving the cage and the one translating the quill are powered under the control of the command and control unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus for machining a circumferential surface defining a cylindrical bore of a workpiece, the apparatus including a tool holder rotatable about a first rotation axis, and a form roller supported on the tool holder so as to be rotatable about a second rotation axis parallel to a central axis of the cylindrical bore of the workpiece. The form roller has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the cylindrical bore of the workpiece and is adapted for forming a plurality of microscopic recesses on the circumferential surface defining the cylindrical bore of the workpiece.

Abstract:
A boring device adapted to mount boring tools for automatic tool changing, in which an eccentric mounting of relatively rotatable inner spindle 11 and main spindle (2) allows radial adjustment of the tool. Relative rotation of inner and outer spindles is accomplished by axial driving of a threaded bolt (22) by an actuator motor (67), causing rotation of a nut (19) fixed to the inner spindle (11). Continued overtravel of the threaded bolt (22) past an adjustment range (47) and safety range (51) causes releasing operation of a spring biased pull rod (36) which releases a tool clamping mechanism (14) to allow automatic tool changing.
Abstract:
For correcting axial errors of a tool, the latter is held by a two-part tool holder, whose two parts are reciprocally displaceable by a setscrew along their engaging interfaces at right angles to the axis. For this purpose, the locking screws of a flange connection are correspondingly loosened. The axial correction can be simply and rapidly performed, in that the setscrew is provided on a setting ring rotatable about the axis.
Abstract:
A cutting tool holder for rotatably supporting a cutting bar is provided in which the radial distance between the axis of rotation of the cutting tool holder and the cutting edge of the cutting bar is adjustable. The cutting tool holder comprises a hub member having one axial end secured to a rotating machine and an eccentric bore formed in the other axial end of the hub member. The cutting bar is secured to a bar holder having a shank which is rotatably received in the eccentric bore. A circular drive plate is fastened across the inner axial end of the bar holder and limits axial movement, but permits rotation of the bar holder within the eccentric bore. A compressible biasing member urges axial separation of the drive plate and the housing to functionally lock the bar against rotation during use. A tubular and cylindrical bearing sleeve also constructed of a compressible material is disposed within the eccentric bore between the bore and the bar holder to facilitate the rotation necessary to produce adjustment.
Abstract:
A cutting tooth is carried on the outer end portion of a shaft which is eccentrically mounted within a power-rotated boring bar and which may be selectively turned within the bar to enable the tooth to be adjusted between an inactive retracted position and an active cutting position. By sliding the shaft in one direction, serrated rings mounted on the outer end portion of the shaft and within the outer end portion of the bar may be uncoupled to permit turning of the shaft. When the shaft is slid in the opposite direction, the rings are recoupled to establish a torsionally stiff rotational drive to the tooth by way of the outer end portions of the bar and the shaft. Turning of the shaft to adjust the tooth to its cutting position also effects outward adjustment of support pads for maintaining the outer end portion of the bar in a stable radial position during the boring operation.
Abstract:
A boring and facing head for machine tools, in which the tool slide is radially displaceable on a rotating carrier. For radial adjustment of the tool slide, the slide is provided with a rack engaged by a gear mounted on and rotating with the slide carrier, the gear being turned for adjustment purposes by a nonrotating adjusting member extending along the axis of rotation of the carrier and projecting out the back of the housing, the projecting end of the adjusting member being provided with a scale which can be read while the carrier is rotating. The rotating carrier is driven by a shaft parallel to but offset radially from the axis of rotation. In one form of the invention, gauging stops are provided on a turret, for cooperation with a dial gauge or an end gauge, in order to determine accurately the position of the axially movable adjusting member which serves to adjust the radial position of the tool slide on the rotating slide carrier.
