Abstract
A machine tool for multiple working for material removal from surfaces of bodies including a working station in which a plurality of rotary tools are positioned around a feed trajectory of said bodies; and guide means in which the bodies to be worked are made to translate one after another along said feed trajectory with a predetermined orientation position. At least one pair of rotary tools of said working station, intended to interact with the surfaces to be worked, inside slits in said bodies, in combination with each other and with guide means provided with partitions, help to keep said bodies in position during their related transit through said working station.
Claims11
A machine for removing material from a workpiece, comprising:
- a working station, including;
- at least one pair of rotary tools;
- a workpiece feed path defined between the at least one pair of rotary tools, the workpiece feed path having a feed trajectory and passing between the at least one pair of rotary tools from an upper end to a lower end of the workpiece feed path;
- the at least one pair of rotary tools being positioned around the feed trajectory for removing material from the workpiece as the workpiece moves along the workpiece feed path;
- and
- a guide device that engages the workpiece and guides the workpiece along the workpiece feed path with a predetermined orientation;
- the at least one pair of rotary tools configured and positioned to oppose each other to engage the workpiece while assisting in maintaining a positioning of the workpiece with respect to the feed trajectory while moving along the workpiece feed path,
- the workpiece including slits, and
- wherein the guide device comprises partitions oriented parallel to the feed trajectory, the partitions engaging the slits of the workpiece to while allowing the workpiece to translate along the workpiece feed path relative to the partitions.
A method for grinding a series of workpieces, comprising:
- providing a machine for removing material from a workpiece, comprising:
- a working station, including;
- at least one pair of rotary tools;
- a workpiece feed path defined between the at least one pair of rotary tools, the workpiece feed path having a feed trajectory and passing between the at least one pair of rotary tools from an upper end to a lower end of the workpiece feed path;
- the at least one pair of rotary tools being positioned around the feed trajectory for removing material from the workpiece as the workpiece moves along the workpiece feed path;
- and
- a guide device that engages the workpiece and guides the workpiece along the workpiece feed path with a predetermined orientation;
- the at least one pair of rotary tools configured and positioned to oppose each other to engage the workpiece while assisting in maintaining a positioning of the workpiece with respect to the feed trajectory while moving along the workpiece feed path,
- the workpiece including slits, and
- wherein the guide device comprises partitions oriented parallel to the feed trajectory, the partitions engaging the slits of the workpiece to while allowing the workpiece to translate along the workpiece feed path relative to the partitions;
- providing that the at least one pair of rotary tools are grinding wheels for grinding the workpieces:
- feeding a series of the workpieces along the workpiece feed path;
- rotating each of the workpieces that exits the workpiece feed path by a predetermined angular step;
- feeding each of the workpieces back into the workpiece feed path for further grinding of the workpiece;
- and
- repeating the rotating and feeding steps until the grinding has been completed.
