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 feed system including a tool module is attached to the headstock and a tripper pin assembly is attached to the support housing. The tripper pin assembly is 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 is adjustable relative to the tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the tool module.
Claims20
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 feed system including a tool module attached to the headstock;
- and
- a tripper pin 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,
- wherein 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 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;
- a tripper pin 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 tripper pin 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;
- a tool feed system including a plurality of tool modules attached to the headstock;
- and
- a tripper pin 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,
- wherein the radial position of the collision point is adjustable relative to the tool modules such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the tool modules.
