Abstract: A method for machining long edges of metal workpieces (2), wherein during the machining of the workpiece (2), all the cutting edges (z) are put into engagement with the machining surface (B) over an effective length (l) and having a cutting depth (t), and the removal of the chips is effected in each case over a length which is equivalent to the tooth spacing (as) between the adjacent teeth simultaneously with their motion along the effective length (l).

Abstract: In the proposed process of machining the top surface of a rail by a circumferential grinding by means of at least one abrasive product, which is moved along the rail and urged against the top surface of the rail and rotates about an axis of rotation which includes an acute angle with the longitudinal direction of the rail, desirable grinding conditions are ensured in that a freely rotatable abrasive is caused to roll and slide on the top surface is caused to roll and slide on the top surface of the rail in frictional contact therewith and thus to grind said top surface.

Abstract: A method and a device for treating the upper surfaces of rails, where the upper surfaces of rails (3) are acted upon by movable grinding blocks (7) disposed on a bogie which can be moved along on the tracks and where a plurality of grinding blocks (7) is used. The grinding blocks (7) are periodically lifted and lowered again singly or in groups, cleaning of the work face of the grinding block (7) being performed during the lifting of the respective grinding block (7). In case of curves in the rails, a change of the position of the grinding block (7) in relation to a hydraulic unit (11), which vertically moves the grinding block (7), is detected by proximity switches (12), and the position of the hydraulic unit (11) can then be adjusted via a transverse guide (10).

Abstract: A milling device for working, and particularly for trimming the edges, of sheet metal strips, sheet metal plates, and the like. The workpiece is movable in any desired shape or direction in relation to the working position between guide rollers. The milling device has a cutter head which can be turned by a motor. The rotational axis of the cutter head is located approximately parallel to the plane of the workpiece and approximately vertical to the direction of advancement of the device. The device is provided with at least one cutter element provided with a cutting edge inclined at an angle to the normal plane of the cutter head.

Abstract: An edge miller for machining the edges of sheets advanced in motion relative thereto includes a milling unit supported for rotation therein and in turn supporting circular cutters for rotation relative thereto. The milling unit has bearings for each of the circular cutters supporting such rotation thereof, the bearings disposing the longitudinal cutter axes such that the axial and radial positions thereof are alternatively above and below the thickness centerline of the sheet and that each circular cutter has a cutting edge range between first and second cutting edge points. Machining forces between such cutting edge and the workpiece druing engagement produce a torque for rotating said circular cutter.

Abstract: For chip-removing machining of the contact surfaces of rails 1, a stationary system is used which to attain high machining output as well as good surface quality uses a rotating, internally toothed milling ring 2, the flight circle of which generates the normally elliptical contact surface profile of the rail 1, in a position inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rail. To avoid reproducing the ridged defects 18 of the contact surface, at least one conical supporting roller 17 is used in the machining region, its elliptical contact arc being designed with a substantially longer radius of curvature than the amplitude length of the ridges.
