  • Patent number: 11407023
    Abstract: A cold rolling machine and method for producing a profile on a workpiece. The cold rolling machine having two constructed tool units. Each tool unit has at least one rolling rod extending in the longitudinal direction, a tool slide, a slide drive device, a pivoting carrier and a pivot drive. The at least one rolling rod is fastened to the tool slide and can be moved in the longitudinal direction by the slide drive device. The pivoting carrier can be pivoted about a pivot axis extending in the longitudinal direction by a pivot drive. The tool slide is arranged on the pivoting carrier. An angle of inclination can thereby be set between the two rolling rods, which angle of inclination can have, for example, a value of 0 degrees to 2.0 degrees or to 0.2 degrees. Conical profiles can thereby be produced in the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 6315503
    Abstract: There is disclosed a feed system for a rotating cutting tool which is driven by a spindle and is adjustable in the feeding direction via an adjusting means. The adjusting means is driven by an operating shaft which can be driven synchronously with the spindle or at a predetermined difference in speed with respect to the spindle by a separate feed motor. In the case of a synchronous drive of the operating shaft and the spindle no feed is effected, whereas the cutting tool is adjusted, when a speed difference is adjusted by the adjusting means. After adjusting the desired position of the cutting tool, the operating shaft and the spindle are again driven at the same speed.
