  • Patent number: 8191390
    Abstract: Radial roller head with rollers distributively arranged in a holder under the same angular separations and in axial separations around a roller axis, the roller surfaces of which have an increasing progression in a spiral manner around the circumference in the counter clockwise direction. A gear wheel drive couples the rollers together. A locking device automatically locks into place after each full roller rotation and is released before each roller procedure via a moveable locking element. A drive device turns the rollers after release of the locking device up to the contact of the roller surfaces with a tool, in order to then be further turned through friction therewith. An electromagnet connected with the locking element, is arranged in the radial roller head with an electrical energy source and a switch connecting the energy source with the electromagnets when the switch is actuated via the work piece or another actuating device.

  • Patent number: 7073361
    Abstract: A tangential thread-rolling head comprising two fork-shaped rolling head arms in which thread-rolling dies are rotatably supported by means of parallel axles wherein the thread-rolling dies are in a lateral engagement with a pinion seated on the axles of a gearing coupling both thread-rolling dies and the thread-rolling dies and pinions have lateral jaws such that the jaws of the thread-rolling dies can be pushed into the jaws of the pinions laterally before the axles are mounted wherein the axles have disposed thereon an axially slidable bushing which is adapted to firmly be positioned axially against the pinion with the aid of locating means, wherein each bushing circumferentially has a fine pitch threaded portion which interengages with a female-threaded portion in a seating bore for the pinion and bushing and locking means are provided in the rolling head arms to lock the bushing in an occupied rotational position.
