Abstract
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece includes a support housing adapted for mounting on the work piece and a headstock rotatably mounted on the support housing about an axis. The headstock including an internal gear. A drive module is arranged to drive rotation of the headstock about the axis and at least one gear connection is formed between the internal gear and the drive module. The at least one gear connection is positioned radially inside of an outer diameter of the support housing to protect an operator from a pinch point associated with the at least one gear connection.
Claims18
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece comprising:
- a support housing;
- a headstock rotatably mounted on the support housing about an axis, the headstock including an internal gear having an inner diameter defining a plurality of teeth;
- a drive module arranged to drive rotation of the headstock about the axis;
- and
- at least one gear connection formed between the teeth of the internal gear and the drive module, the support housing and the headstock entirely concealing the at least one gear connection and the internal gear extending radially outward from and circumferentially about the at least one gear connection to protect an operator from a pinch point associated with the at least one gear connection.
A rotating machining device comprising:
- a segmented housing arranged to be mounted on a work piece;
- a segmented headstock mounted on the housing and rotatable relative to the housing about an axis, the segmented headstock including an internal gear having an inner diameter defining a plurality of teeth;
- at least one drive module mounted to the housing and arranged to drive rotation of the headstock about the axis;
- and
- at least one gear connection formed between the teeth of the internal gear and the at least one drive module, the housing and headstock entirely concealing the at least one gear connection and the internal gear extending radially outward from and circumferentially about the at least one gear connection to protect an operator from a pinch point associated with the at least one gear connection.
A rotating machining device comprising:
- a housing;
- a headstock mounted on the housing and rotatable relative to the housing about an axis, the headstock including an internal gear having an inner diameter defining a plurality of teeth;
- at least one drive module including a drive motor mounted to the housing and arranged to drive rotation of the headstock about the axis;
- and
- at least one gear connection formed between the teeth of the internal gear and the at least one drive module, the support housing and the headstock entirely concealing the at least one gear connection and the internal gear extending radially outward from and circumferentially about the at least one gear connection to protect an operator from a pinch point associated with the at least one gear connection.
