Abstract
A multifarious boring device includes a work table and a head with a variety of machine tools or cutters. The work table and the head are controlled by a computer through a shifting device and a power device. The computer computes distances and directions between the cutters and working points on a workpiece on the work table. Thereby, the shifting means controlled by the computer shifts the work table having the worked material thereon. The power device controlled by the computer powers one of the cutters. Codes of the type of holes and working points are fed into the computer. Thereby, a desired hole can be made at a desired point on the workpiece, and different patterns can be made in different types of workpieces.
Claims10
A multifarious boring device comprising:
- a head having mounted in a face thereof a plurality of machining tools including a base tool, each said tool being mounted on said head at a respective separate position thereof, and each said tool being operable at the said respective separate position thereof;
- a work table spaced from said head and adapted to fixedly support a workpiece;
- computer means, including at least one memory, for computing a first distance and relative direction between a particular said tool and said base tool and a second distance and direction between said base tool and a desired working point on the workpiece;
- shifting means, operable connected to one of said head or said work table and controlled by said computer means, for shifting, in response to said first and second distances and directions, said one of said head or said work table relative to the other of said head or said work table, and thereby for aligning precisely said desired working point with said particular tool;
- and
- power means, operably connected to said tools and controlled by said computer means, for operating said particular tool at said respective separate position thereof, and without relative shifting of said respective positions of said tools with respect to said head, and thereby for performing a machining operation on the workpiece at said desired working point.
