Abstract
A hole machining device capable of effecting marking and similar operations as well as drilling and reaming. The device comprises driving shafts attached to the body of the machining device, spindles for installing the drills, springs for invariably urging the spindles forwardly, spindle collars that cover the springs and detecting means for detecting the backward movement of the collars.
Claims3
A hole machining device comprising:
- driving shafts (6) mounted to the body (1) of the hole machining device,
- spindles (10) acting to install drills (20) and supported by the shafts (6) so that the spindles can move longitudinally back and forth relative to the shafts while rotating together with the shafts (6),
- means for rotating said driving shafts, whereby said spindles and drills are also rotated,
- springs (19) interposed between the spindles (10) and the driving shafts (6) to invariably urge the spindles longitudinally (10) forward throughout the entire range of longitudinal movement of the spindles relative to the shafts, including the fully advanced positions of the spindles, said spindles being free for said longitudinal movement whenever the load on the spindles exceeds the opposing force of said springs,
- spindle collars (17) covering the springs (19) and installed over the spindles (10), said spindles collars being secured to said spindles and telescoping over the adjacent portions of said driving shafts to permit longitudinal movement of said spring collars along with said longitudinal movement of said spindles, and
- detecting means for detecting the rearward movement of the spindle collars (17).
