  • Method and device for the surface machining of a structure such as a cellular structure
    Patent number: 6435784
    Abstract: In order to make notches in partitions separating substantially aligned recesses issuing onto the surface of a structure (10), use is made of a machining head (26) having a cutting tool (28) and at least one rotary member (52) adjacent to said tool. The rotary member (52) is provided with protuberances (54) supported in recesses of a row of recesses adjacent to that which is being machined, during the displacement of the machining head (26). The latter is connected with slackness to a tool holder by a mechanism, a lateral and height positioning of the tool (28) being ensured during machining.
