  • Publication number: 20100028097
    Abstract: A drill countersinking and seal groove machining tool to accommodate an accurate drill countersinking and seal groove machining operation. The linear compensator tool applies sufficient force to react to the drilling or seal groove machining process, but not so much force as to distort the work piece being drilled or machined. The tool ensures that the reactant force does not exceed the machine force override allowances. Varying spring rates and/or air pressures on the linear compensator system will accommodate most applications.

  • Patent number: 7322778
    Abstract: A tool for working a workpiece has a slot provided between a pair of extremities at its distal end. The extremities have cutting blades mounted thereon. The slot is configured to receive a plate. The tool has a conduit running along its axis for communication of pressurized fluid to the slot and plate. The plate directs flow of the pressurized fluid outward toward the extremities. The resulting outward force causes the extremities to bend outward, thereby urging the cutting blades outward for cutting, reaming, or other working of the workpiece. The resilience of the tool causes the extremities to return back inward when the fluid pressure is reduced. A plate may be configured to receive a wafer for transferring force from the pressurized fluid to the extremities.

  • Patent number: 5501554
    Abstract: A deburring tool, and a cutting tool blade and pivot member therefor. The arbor is formed with a cutting blade recess for a cutting tool having a flat resilient blade. The blade is releasably secured in the recess by a pivot member extending transversely through the recess. The cutting tool blade includes an open-ended slot having an arcuate closed end and one or more flat surfaces. The pivot member has a shank portion with arcuate and flat sides, and is selectively rotatable in the cutting blade slot between a locked position preventing separation of the blade from the pivot member, and an unlocked position permitting separation of the blade and pivot member.

  • Patent number: 5462393
    Abstract: Drilling apparatus (50) for producing drilled holes with undercuts, with a drill (15), the drill shank (19) of which has a side cutting edge (14) protruding radially beyond the periphery (18) of the drill shank, and, on its circumference, opposite the side cutting edge (14), has a flattening, which makes possible the insertion of the side cutting edge (14) into the drilled hole, and the drill shank (19) of which is firmly connected with a connecting coupling (20), which is disposed in an articulated fashion between the drill (15) and a drill driving mechanism, permits wobbling motions of the shank as the drill (15) is rotating and has a drill shank-side coupling (29) with an axially movable indentor (85), which can be supported on an inclined plane (17) of a coupling (29) connected with the drill shank (19), which inclined plane (17) brings about the radial advance of the side cutting edge (14).

  • Patent number: 5427480
    Abstract: A boring tool is equipped with a radially adjustable clutter element, and a remotely-operated mechanism for adjusting the cutter element between its active and inactive positions. During movement of the tool into a hole in a work piece the adjustable cutter element is inactive; the cutting operation is performed by one or more non-adjustable cutter elements. When the tool holder reaches the limit of its penetration into the work piece the remote adjusting mechanism is operated to move the adjustable cutter element radially outwardly to an active cutting position. During return movement of the holder out of the work piece the adjustable cutter element performs a finish machining operation on the hole surface.

  • Patent number: 5421681
    Abstract: A boring bar in which a cutter element holder is adjustable around a transverse pivot axis, so that different cutting elements can be used to machine the hole surface during movement of the boring bar in opposite directions. The transverse pivot axis is defined by a torsional hinge that automatically returns the holder to a neutral position when the adjustment force is removed.

  • Patent number: 5368420
    Abstract: A cutting chisel holder which is controlled by pressure and constructed as a rotary drill head which can be precisely adjusted by hydraulic means has a cutting chisel, which can be clamped in, with a base and a driven member which is movable relative to the base, and has a pressure chamber arranged between the base and driven member, as well as a pressure medium feed. The driven member moves parallel to itself under the influence of the pressure medium and, in doing so, causes a movement of the cutting chisel on a curved path extending approximately vertically to the axis of rotation of the drill head by parts acting mechanically without friction.

  • Patent number: 5358363
    Abstract: A deburring tool including an elongated arbor formed with a cutting blade recess, a unitary cutting tool having a cutting head, a trailing terminal portion, an elongated, flat resilient blade extending therefrom which is received in the recess and a mounting mechanism securing the cutting tool to the arbor. The mounting mechanism includes an adjustable screw threadably mounted in the arbor transversely of the longitudinal axis of the arbor for fixedly engaging the terminal portion of the cutting tool. The mounting mechanism also includes an adjustable locking screw extending transversely through the recess and the blade to define a pivot point about which the cutting tool can pivot and has a non-threaded hemispherical portion which terminates in a flat edge. The resilient blade includes an open ended slot having an arcuately closed end which presents a flat at one end of the arc of the slot.

    Abstract: An adjustable cartridge to be mounted in the end of a boring bar, the cartridge including an anvil rotatably affixed to said boring bar, said anvil including a pocket into which a indexable insert is affixed. The anvil is secured in an axially oriented slot which includes an arcuate seating face which includes a key and key way slot. Rotation of the anvil within the slot effects radial adjustment of the insert a key pin serves to pivotally secure the cartridge within the pocket. In addition, the level or back taper of the insert can be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 5320458
    Abstract: A cutting tool includes a rotary bar having an arcuate pocket in its side surface, and a segmental carrier arcuately slidable in the pocket to adjust the position of a cutting tip on a cutter blade. The carrier has a second arcuate pocket that slidably receives a segment-shaped shoe, such that the shoe can be arcuately adjusted to control or vary the back taper angle on the blade. The cutting blade is mounted flatwise on one face of the shoe, such that a corner tip on the blade projects beyond the profile of the rotary bar for use in reaming a hole in a workpiece. The adjustment axis of the shoe is coincident with the cutting tip on the reamer blade so that adjusting motions of the shoe do not disturb the position of the cutting tip achieved by arcuate adjustment of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 5209145
    Abstract: A tool is described for boring spherically curved inner surfaces consisting of a main body which rotates about its longitudinal axis during the boring operation. A swivel housing is mounted on an axle bolt in the main body and can thus be swiveled about an axis at right angles to the longitudinal axis. The swivel motion is produced with the aid of a linkage arrangement provided in the tool. A cutting tool holder is guided for longitudinal displacement in the swivel housing at right angles to the axle bolt. The cutting tool holder is supported lateral wedge surfaces on a mating wedge surface of the axle bolt and extends with a shank part through the axle bolt. With the aid of a compression spring and an adjusting screw, the axle bolt can be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to the cutting tool holder to adjust the radial spacing of the cutter from the axle bolt by the mating wedge surface.
