Abstract: The invention is a unit for pneumatically controlling the position of a workpiece relative to a predetermined workpiece configuration, comprising an enclosure, a minimum of one measuring nozzle for a gaseous pressure medium, which measuring nozzle is located in a contact surface a workpiece fixture. A pressure supply line is connected to the measuring nozzle via pressure lines. Separate adjoining modular enclosure components are detachably connected to one another and each is fitted with a connection leading to measuring nozzle. A first enclosure end cover can be connected to a pressure supply unit and a second enclosure end cover is located at a distance from the first enclosure end cover. The first enclosure end cover, the modular enclosure components that adjoin the first enclosure end cover, and the second enclosure end cover that adjoins the modular enclosure components form the overall enclosure 68.

Abstract: A pressure controlled cutter bit or drill bit retainer in the form of a revolving drill head with hydraulic precision adjustment of the drill bit arranged at a central extension, which is displaceable from its original position by small amounts around a pivot axis by a pressure motor, wherein this displacement occurs without any parts mechanically rubbing against each other and the dimensioning of the pressure motor and extension defining the transmission ratio conditions are selected in such a way that the travel of the drill bit guided along a curved path is greater than the travel of the pressure motor output produced by volume change, and wherein the overall volume of the pressure motor is selected to be slightly greater than the volume required for moving the pressure motor output.

Abstract: A cutting chisel holder which is controlled by pressure and constructed as a rotary drill head which can be precisely adjusted by hydraulic means has a cutting chisel, which can be clamped in, with a base and a driven member which is movable relative to the base, and has a pressure chamber arranged between the base and driven member, as well as a pressure medium feed. The driven member moves parallel to itself under the influence of the pressure medium and, in doing so, causes a movement of the cutting chisel on a curved path extending approximately vertically to the axis of rotation of the drill head by parts acting mechanically without friction.

Abstract: Rotating drill head with a boring bar which is swivel able by small amounts transversely to the rotational axis by fluidic means, with a base, a driven member located opposite the base, a pressure chamber arranged between the base and driven member and having a fluid inlet, and with an expanding lever gearing in a working connection with the driven member and serving for the synchronous and oppositely directed swiveling of a tool carrier and a compensating member which are constructed so as to be geometrically similar and constitute the boring bar.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for determining the dimensional accuracy of workpiece surfaces, for example, of essentially cylindrical workpiece surfaces, wherein a measuring sensor scans the workpiece surfaces in accordance with a predetermined relative movement pattern between sensor and workpiece. The sensor is a pneumatic measuring head, so that the measuring procedure can be incorporated in the production process. The pneumatic measuring head travels over the workpiece surface along a continuous path which covers the surface area of the workpiece. The pneumatic measuring head is maintained at a constant basic or measuring distance from the workpiece surface, so that the measuring range of the measuring head is not exceeded when the measuring head travels over the workpiece surface. The measuring head continuously produces measurement signals, so that the measure procedure can be directly integrated in the production sequence.

Abstract: A fine adjustment device for turning tool bits in the form of a pneumatic/hydraulic converter for converting of control signals into proportional actuating or adjusting forces with a combination of an oil pump and pneumatically controlled overflow valve, whose outlet pressure is adjustable with the help of control air.

Abstract: An apparatus for the fine radial adjustment of a turning tool of a rotating cutter head with a first converter for converting a low pneumatic control pressure into a fluid pressure and with a further pressure converter for converting the intermediate pressure into a high working pressure for acting upon an adjusting medium, adjusts a turning tool. The first converter is stationary outside of the rotating head and is connected to the second converter, which is disposed in the rotating head, over a connection of conduits providing a rotary transmission for pressure transformation. The intermediate pressure is set higher than the control pressure, but lower than the adjusting pressure for unloading the rotary transmission.

Abstract: A rotating head or the like having a drilling spindle and a tool carrier with an arrangement to finely adjust the tool carrier in a direction transverse to the axis of rotation of the spindle characterized by a wedge carrier which is mounted on the spindle for movement along the axis of rotation and has a bevel engaging a sliding surface of the tool carrier to shift the carrier transverse to the axis of rotation in response to movement of the wedge carrier and an arrangement for maintaining contact between the sliding surface and the bevel of the tool carrier preferably including the center of gravity of the tool carrier being offset relative to the axis of rotation on a side opposite the sliding surface so that centrifugal forces occurring during rotation of the rotating head press the sliding surface against the bevel.

Abstract: A revolving drill head or the like with finely adjustable tool carriers at right angles to its longitudinal axis having high rigidity material-elastic intermediate members operable by a hydraulic pressure medium supplied coaxially to the shaft of the drill head in a feed mechanism, which is positioned in fixed manner between the shaft and the tool carrier and having two flange-like connecting parts to the shaft or tool carrier connected by two axially parallel, resilient parts at right angles to the shaft axis as a parallel guide and with counter-directed, diametrically facing shaft axis parallel extensions which are symmetrical to and spaced from the shaft axis and between which is provided an expansion member as a material-elastic intermediate member in a plane at right angles to the shaft axis, each of the flange-like connecting parts has a compensating device diametrically facing with respect to the shaft axis the extension fixed thereto for compensating its unbalance in at least one relative position of

Abstract: A turning boring head or the like has a tool, designed for radial adjustment, and whose tool support is able to undergo feed motion, using liquid power into a position dependent on the desired size of the bore being machined. The bore rod body has not only a pressure medium powered tool support designed for fine positioning of the fine-adjustment cutting tool, but furthermore at least one further tool support for a further cutting tool.

Abstract: A pressure transducer formed as a three-dimensional body is rendered flexible in order to permit fine adjustment of a machine tool seat formed thereon by the formation of holes and slits in the transducer body which cause portions of the body to operate as spring-like webs. An expansion box is located within the transducer and a pressure transmitter separate therefrom is connected thereto to enable pressure from the transmitter to be applied to the expansion box to cause flexing of the transducer body and fine adjustment of the position of the tool seat. Because of the particular arrangement of the holes and slits in the transducer body, the tool seat is able to be moved parallel to itself during the adjustment process.
