Abstract: The invention pertains to a fine adjustment for the tool of a machine tool. The tool carrier is displaceable by forces generated by the rotation of a shaft through an eccentric wherein the shaft is indexed by a reversible electric stepping motor. Tool adjustments of thousandths of an inch are accurately and consistently achievable.
Abstract: The invention pertains to an adjustment for machine tool components, such as a head or slide, wherein minute dimensional variations are achieved by the utilization of a wedge acting against a spring biasing force. The wedge is longitudinally displaced by incremental motor means and the biasing force opposing the wedge actuated forces are produced by compression spring elements.
