Patent number: 6840722Abstract: A machining apparatus for machining a workpiece by rotating and revolving either the workpiece or a tool 1 to contact with each other. The machining apparatus comprises rotation/revolution ratio setting motors M1 and M3 for setting a ratio of a number of rotations to a number of revolutions of the workpiece or the tool 1, to a numerical value having a fraction below a decimal point, by changing the number of revolutions. The workpiece is machined by setting the number of revolutions and the number of rotations at the ratio.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroki Nonaka

Publication number: 20040149093Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming an undercut hole. The apparatus includes a shaping means attached to a shaft for causing the shaping means to rotate. The shaping means is forced into an initial hole in a piece of material. The rotation of the shaping means causes an undercut hole to be formed at the location of the distal end of the initial hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Inventor: Gordon Tang

Patent number: 6761096Abstract: In a method for producing workpieces having inner and/or outer contours deviating from a circular shape, at least one workpiece is clamped on a machine and the workpiece is driven in rotation about a rotational axis of the workpiece at a first constant velocity. At least one tool is arranged on a carriage that is moveable radially to the rotational axis of the workpiece as well as axially in the longitudinal direction of the rotational axis of the workpiece. The tool is rotatably driven about a rotational axis of the tool that deviates from the rotational axis of the workpiece such that an active cutting surface of the tool moves on a circular path at a second constant velocity. The second constant velocity is selected such that its revolutions per minute deviate from the revolutions per minute of the first constant velocity with respect to size and/or rotational direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1998Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: Iproptech Maschinen- und Edelstahlprodukte GmbHInventor: Adolf Kochsiek

Patent number: 6719505Abstract: A hand tool apparatus uses a cutting tool with a first width and a tool axis to machine a hole in an object. The hole has a second width at least as large as the first width of the cutting tool. The apparatus includes a housing, a spindle unit in the housing for rotating the cutting tool and an orbital drive for rotating the spindle unit. An axial feed mechanism moves the orbital drive and the spindle unit jointly either toward or away from the object being machined.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Novator ABInventors: Dag G. Linderholm, Erik Björk

Patent number: 6708382Abstract: In a complex tool to be installed on a machine tool capable of turning machining and milling machining operations, a main body is provided, and carries inserts for turning machining, inserts for milling machining and inserts for drilling machining. Turning machining and drilling/milling machining operations can be executed using the inserts installed on the main body, without the need for tool exchange, saving time and labor. The inserts as installed have opposite rotational cutting directions, and are placed on opposite sides of concavities that extend radially inwardly and axially back from the end of the main body. The inserts can be placed at the same or different cutting distances and can be brought into engagement with the workpiece by selection of the relative orientations of the rotation axis and the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Yamazaki Mazak Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsunehiko Yamazaki, Sadami Miyazaki

Patent number: 6655883Abstract: The invention relates to a tool holder for use in machine tools, comprising a main body, which can rotate about an axis of rotation, and cutter holders which each hold a cutting plate and can be radially adjusted by means of an axially displaceable control rod and coupling means. In order to further develop said tool holder so that it is possible, within a very short time, to produce a turned groove which satisfies stringent demands regarding surface quality and geometric roundness, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the tool holder has at least two cutter holders which can be radially adjusted between a retracted position and an extended position and whose cutters can be simultaneously brought into engagement with the workpiece in order to produce a turned groove.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Wohlhaupter GmbHInventor: Peter Maar
