Abstract
Milling and cutting of curved mold surfaces is controlled by templates, each defining a cam surface to be scanned; one of the templates is pivoted by lateral shift operation of a second template, there being a linkage interposed.
Claims8
Apparatus for controlling milling or cutting of curved surfaces particularly of mjold plates under utilization of a first template, defining a cam surface to be scanned for operating said tool, the improvement comprising:
- means for pivotably mounting said first template;
- a second template in engagement with said first template for causing said first template to pivot;
- and
- additional means for moving said second template to tehreby move the first template in relation to the center of the second template so that said first template is pivoted on moving of said second template.
Apparatus for controlling milling or cutting of curved surfaces particularly of mold plates under utilization of a first template, defining a cam surface to be scanned for operating said tool, the improvement comprising:
- a pivot mount for pivotably mounting said first template;
- a second template in engagement with said first template for causing said first template to pivot;
- and
- means for varying the pivot mount of the first template, as to its location to thereby vary magnitude or direction or both on pivoting.
Apparatus for controlling milling or cutting or curved surfaces of mold plates, the improvement comprising:
- a first template having a curved surface;
- means for scanning the surface and for operating a tool;
- means for pivotaly mounting said first template there being a pivot accordingly;
- a second template;
- and
- linkage means in engagement with said second template for causing said first template to pivot.
