  • Patent number: 10946456
    Abstract: A hole inner-surface cutting apparatus includes a working head composed of a rotatable body having a cutting tool and a main body, a rotation rod for rotating the rotatable body, and a stroke rod for stroking the working head. At least three positioning mechanisms for positioning the working head along a radial direction in the penetrating hole is provided on the main body. Each of the positioning mechanisms has three sliders arranged radially, guide rollers respectively disposed on distal ends of the sliders, a piston for pressing the sliders radially outward, and a fluid pressure chamber for actuating the piston. Further provided is a controller for controlling fluid pressures in the fluid pressure chambers of the positioning mechanisms independently from each other.
