Abstract
A tool head includes a first tool and a second tool disposed circumferentially on the tool head where the tool head has a rotation axis. The first tool of the tool head is an adjustable tool that is radially movable such that a radial position, relative to the second tool of the tool head, is settable.
Claims6
A tool head for machining an inner surface of a cylinder, the tool head comprising:
- a conically-shaped basic body defining a rotation axis;
- a roughening tool having a radially outward facing cylindrical second engagement region with a coating, wherein the roughening tool is disposed along a circumference of the basic body such that the roughening tool is fixed with respect to the basic body both radially and along the axis of rotation;
- and
- a forming tool having a radially outward facing cylindrical first engagement region with a smooth or flat surface, wherein the forming tool is disposed along the circumference of the basic body so as to move on the basic body along the axis of rotation to set a radial position of the forming tool relative to the roughening tool during and in response to insertion and withdrawal of the tool head into the cylinder,
- wherein, during insertion of the tool head into the cylinder, the radial position is set by the movement so that the first engagement region extends radially beyond the second engagement region, and
- wherein, during withdrawal of the tool head into the cylinder, the radial position is set by the movement so that the second engagement region extends radially beyond the first engagement region.
