Abstract
A lathe including a moving headstock designed to rotate and move forward a workpiece to be turned in relation to an axis of translation and rotation. A guide bush is designed to be attached to a frame of the lathe and includes a bush spindle and a clamping mechanism. The guide bush is designed to operate either in bush mode or in grip mode and is designed to be moveable axially in relation to the frame along the axis of translation and rotation. The lathe is arranged to operate in a first mode in which the guide bush is driven axially by the moving headstock, and a second mode in which the axial position of the guide bush is static in relation to the frame.
Claims22
A lathe including:
- a moving headstock designed to ensure the rotation and translation of a part to be machined in relation to an axis of translation and rotation;
- and
- a guide bush designed to be attached to a frame of the lathe and including:
- a bush spindle, and
- a clamping mechanism,
- the guide bush being designed to operate either in bush mode or in grip mode, wherein:
- the guide bush is designed to be moveable axially in relation to the frame along said axis,
- the lathe is designed to operate in a first mode in which the guide bush is driven axially by the moving headstock, and
- the lathe is designed to operate in a second mode in which the axial position of the guide bush is static in relation to the frame.
A guide bush for a lathe including:
- a bush spindle;
- a clamping mechanism;
- and
- a sheath of the bush at least partially surrounding at least one of the bush spindle and the clamping mechanism,
- wherein the guide bush is designed to operate either in bush mode or in grip mode,
- wherein said sheath of the bush is designed to be linked to a frame of a lathe by a link enabling a translational movement of said sheath of the bush in relation to said frame that is substantially axial in relation to an axis of translation and rotation of a part to be machined when same is held by said guide bush, and
- wherein the bush spindle and the clamping mechanism are designed to be detachable from said sheath, axially in relation to said axis, wherein said guide bush further includes a bush body, said bush body radially enveloping the bush spindle and the clamping mechanism, and wherein said bush body is designed to be detachable in relation to said sheath, axially in relation to said axis.
