Abstract: Mass compensating device and a rotary head used for machining high precision bores incorporating the mass compensating device, including ring shaped counterweights having balancing masses, an angular displacement system including toothed gears which mesh with internal gears on the counterweights and a rotating external ring arranged in the boring head.

Abstract: A displaceable cutting tool shank holder, in particular for a rotary boring head threadable on a main spindle of a machine tool, having one end with a substantially H-shaped cross section provided with parallel linear tracks cooperating with linear tracks on internal projections in a member connected to the rotary boring head to thereby define guideways in which bearing balls on roller are situated. The projections are arranged on an end portion or top portion of the rotary boring head. An opposite end of the tool shank holder has a recess wherein a cutting tool shank is lodged.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved micrometric device for finishing bores of the type having a substantially cylindrical body in the interior of which are mounted displacement devices that actuate on a tool holder displaceable in the same direction as the radial component of the work force. The displacement devices are provided with a backlash suppression system and a movement transmission mechanism. The movement transmission mechanism is provided with a graduated drum coaxially mounted to a micrometric screw. The micrometric screw is axially and radially supported in relation to the body of the micrometric device by a support system. In accordance with the invention, on an upper threaded extension of micrometric screw, a cylindrical rod is mounted that incorporates at its upper end, an oblique portion or extension set off by an angle in relation to the longitudinal axis of micrometric screw.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved micrometric device for finishing high precision bores. The device has a substantially cylindrical body having a displacement system arranged in an interior thereof. The displacement device actuates on a tool holder which is then displaced in the same direction of the radial component of the workforce. The micrometric device is also provided with a backlash suppression system. In accordance with the present invention, the micrometric device has an upper cylindrical body mounted and fixed to a lower cylindrical body, both of which coaxially envelop a graduated drum. The graduated drum, in turn, is coaxially mounted and connected to a micrometric screw arranged longitudinally in the interior of the micrometric device. In the interior of the micrometric device, and connected to an upper extension of the micrometric screw, a conversion mechanism is arranged which changes a rotating movement of the micrometric screw into a linear movement of a movable crossbeam.

Abstract: An ultra-precision sub-micron boring tool and pre-setting system for finishing through bores or blind bores is disclosed. The system includes a cylindrical cartridge having an internal hollow portion, a first through bore located in the hollow portion, and a toothed segment lodged in the first through bore. The toothed segment and a micrometric screw, which passes through an axial bore in the toothed segment, are arranged on a common geometric axis. A bushing having an internal thread is located in the interior of the axial bore so that the micrometric screw engages with the internal thread. The system also includes a hollow stud which lodges and retains the bushing, a set of rings which carry and envelope the micrometric screw so that the micrometric screw is supported by the set of rings in relation to the cylindrical cartridge, a locknut, a graduated dial attached to an end of the micrometric screw through the locknut, and a second through bore located in the cylindrical cartridge.

Abstract: A turning machine or more precisely a numerically controlled lathe consisting of bed and column or base having said bed a cross section of substantially trapezoidal shape having in its upper part parallel prismatic guideways arranged in accordance with two inclined planes for supporting and/or sliding of the headstock, tailstock and carriages with indexable toolholder, said inclined planes intersecting above said bed, and said parallel prismatic guideways which permit free movements between the carriages mounted on separate guideways and free movements between one of the carriages and tailstock which are mounted on separate guideways, without interference between all of them along the whole useful length of said separate parallel prismatic guideways.
