Abstract: A rotary face plate is simply configured by including only a machine mechanism for rotating it on its axis. In order to achieve the configuration, a swing arm for a rotary blade is mounted on one side of the rotary face plate whereas a driving motor and a swing motor for the rotary blade in each of the swing arms are independently mounted on each of the swing arms on the other side. One side has only a function of rotating and cutting on the boundary of the face plate, and therefore, cutting chips can be remarkably readily removed. Only a rotating motor for a drive source is mounted on the other side. As a consequence, a round tube or a square tube having a square cross section can be cut only by controlling the motor for rotating the rotary face plate at a required angle.
Abstract: A machining unit that is supported on a machine tool and machines a workpiece by a revolving tool with a main spindle section being driven and rotated includes an eccentric rotational section, a tool holder, a tool revolution-radius changing mechanism, and a cutting-edge-orientation correcting mechanism. The eccentric rotational section is disposed on the main spindle section, and is rotatable about an eccentric axis that is located eccentrically at any distance in a radial direction of the main spindle section from a rotation center of the main spindle section. The tool holder is disposed on the eccentric rotational section, and supports the tool. The tool revolution-radius changing mechanism moves the tool in the radial direction, and changes the radius of the revolution of the tool by rotating the eccentric rotational section about the eccentric axis.
Abstract: The tool support comprises a basic structure (8) on which a slide (5) is movable in a controlled manner transversely to the spindle axis (7), two tool holders (6) being mounted on said slide which are displaceable parallel to each other and serving to hold different tools (9,9?), said holders (6,6?) being selectively displaceable in the direction of the spindle axis (7) or away from that axis through an angle of 90° with respect to the direction of movement of the slide (5), and further comprising driving means (1,2,3,3?) to displace the slide (5) and the tool holders (6,6?) along their axis of movement (Y,Z) into a predetermined working position.
Abstract: This fiber chopper overcomes the disadvantages of the previous cutting rollers for chopping continuous filaments. The apparatus includes a means for feeding continuous fibers to a vibrating cutting blade. The vibrating blades engage the continuous fiber and chops them into discrete fiber lengths. A vibrating head vibrates the cutting blades through a vibrating table.
Abstract: A tool head for use in machine tools includes a base body, a tool shank adapted to be coupled to a machine spindle and protruding axially over the base body, at least one working slide adapted to be displaced essentially transversely with respect to a base body axis, and an adjusting motor disposed in the base body and acting upon the working slide in the direction of displacement by a transmission. In order to attain a compact, easily assembled, and safely operating construction, the transmission includes an output shaft aligned coaxially with respect to the axis of the base body and carrying a drive sprocket which meshes with a tooth rack on the side of the working slide. The adjusting motor also includes a driven shaft aligned with the output shaft on the transmission side.

Abstract: This invention envolves a columnar material cutting machine which has a stationary cutter fastened into a base and having an inner opening substantially equal to the outer profile of a material to be cut, a movable cutter contacted at one end therewith with one end of the stationary cutter and having an inner opening substantially equal to the shape as the stationary cutter, and drive means for moving the movable cutter in a circular motion without rotating the movable cutter. Thus, the machine can cut a solid columnar metal or a metal pipe with a smooth cutting surface without cutting chips.
