Abstract: A method for adjusting an inlet guide of a peeling machine controls a peeling material using the inlet guide in relation to a peeling head carrying peeling tools in such a way that the volume per unit length of the peeling material, which volume is to be machined by the peeling machine, is minimized while producing a bright steel having excellent surface quality. Furthermore, a peeling machine provides appropriate measuring equipment in order to be able to carry out the method described above.

Abstract: In order to make available a peeling device and a peeling machine, respectively, in which peeling diameters that are set can be changed even under load, the invention proposes a peeling device having a rotating peeling head and having peeling chisels disposed on the latter, which chisels are radially adjustable by way of at least one setting drive, whereby the setting drive comprises a module that rotates with the peeling head, which module controls a setting gear mechanism by means of a relative movement that is undertaken with regard to the peeling head, in the direction of rotation.

Abstract: Material loss can be reduced by means of floating clamping of a work piece during peeling.

Abstract: According to the invention, the wear in the region of the tool head (201) of a tool machine in particular a scalping machine for machining long workpieces with a round cross-section may be reduced, whereby a tool head (201) with a tool holder (204) is adjustable essentially radially to the rotation axis (206) and an adjuster device (202) essentially adjustable axially to the rotation axis (206), in which the tool holder (204) and the adjuster device each have planar slide surfaces (208, 220) which correspond to each other.
