Abstract
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece includes a body having a support housing and a headstock rotatable relative to the support housing. A tool module is mounted to the headstock that includes a tool feed system and an actuating assembly is attached to the support housing. The actuating assembly is arranged to collide with and actuate the tool feed system at a collision point. The radial position of the collision point is adjustable relative to the tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the tool module.

A rotating machining device for machining a work piece comprising:
- a body including a support housing and a headstock rotatable relative to the support housing;
- a tool module mounted to the headstock and including a tool feed system;
- and
- an actuating assembly attached to the support housing, and arranged to collide with and actuate the tool feed system at a collision point, the radial position of the collision point being adjustable relative to the tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the tool module.
A tool feed system for use with a rotating machining device having a support housing, a headstock rotatable relative to the support housing, and a tool module mounted to the headstock, the tool feed system comprising:
- a tool holder slidably mounted on the tool module;
- a feed mechanism operatively connected to the tool holder;
- an actuating assembly mountable on the support housing and including a tripper element arranged to collide with the feed mechanism for advancement of the tool holder relative to the tool module,
- wherein the actuating assembly collides with the feed mechanism at a collision point radially inside of an outer diameter of the headstock, the radial position of the collision point being adjustable relative to the tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the tool module.
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece comprising:
- a body including a support housing and a headstock rotatable relative to the support housing;
- at least one tool module mounted to the headstock and including a tool feed system;
- and
- an actuating assembly attached to the support housing, and arranged to collide with the tool feed system at a collision point for advancement of the tool feed system relative to the work piece, the radial position of the collision point being adjustable relative to the at least one tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the at least one tool module.
