Abstract

Disclosed is an improved inner surface shaper comprising, on a bed, a first reciprocating stock having a first working spindle and a drive screw, a servomotor to drive the drive screw for making a linear reciprocation of the first reciprocating stock, a second reciprocating stock having a second working spindle, a hydraulic cylinder to drive the second reciprocating stock toward and apart from the first reciprocating stock, and a tool rest placed between the first working spindle and the second working spindle. The first working spindle, second working spindle, drive screw and hydraulic cylinder are arranged along the center line of the bed, and the hydraulic cylinder and first reciprocating stock are connected by two joint rods which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the bed. This arrangement has the effect of directing undesired counter force to the joint rods and the longitudinal axis of the drive screw. Thus, there is no fear of causing any distortion as would bend either working spindle or would injure the threads of the drive screw.

Dependent claims

An inner surface shaper comprising, on a bed,:

a first reciprocating stock having a first working spindle and a drive screw aligned with each other;
a first reciprocating drive having a servomotor to drive said drive screw for making a linear reciprocating motion of said first reciprocating stock;
a second reciprocating stock having a second working spindle in opposite relation with said first working spindle;
a second reciprocating drive having a hydraulic cylinder to drive said second reciprocating stock toward and apart from said first reciprocating stock;
and
a tool rest placed between said first working spindle and said second working spindle to permit a tool to cut and shape the inner surface of a work piece,
said first reciprocating stock and said second reciprocating stock being arranged and movably fixed to said bed with said first working spindle, said second working spindle, said drive screw and said hydraulic cylinder arranged along the center line of said bed;
said hydraulic cylinder and said first reciprocating stock being connected by two joint rods which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of said bed.
