Abstract
A method of and an apparatus for removing any burrs or other undesired defects from a workpiece having a bore therein is disclosed. Specifically, those burrs or other defects that are to be removed may be present on the marginal edge or interior of the bore. The method and apparatus are specfically designed to allow a rotary tool to meet the specific relationship requirements between the number of revolution (n) and number of reciprocating motions (N), i.e., 1/3.ltoreq.n/N.ltoreq.1, when the rotary tool travels forward and backward within its specific stroke range.
Claims2
An apparatus for removing burrs from a workpiece having a bore, comprising:
- a housing having a projection mounted thereon;
- a rotary shaft mounted to said housing;
- power supply means for rotating said rotary shaft;
- a tool shaft having a rotary tool at a tip end thereof;
- means for connecting said tool shaft to said rotary shaft such that said tool shaft is rotatable with said rotary shaft and can slide axially relative to said rotary shaft;
- means for imparting reciprocating motion to said tool shaft such that said tool shaft reciprocates one to three times during one complete rotation of said rotary shaft;
- and
- wherein said reciprocating motion imparting means comprises a slit or recess formed in said tool shaft to engage said projection.
