Abstract
The apparatus, especially a grinding machine, comprises a frame (14) on which two working planes (A, B) are used, at least two oscillating elements (11, 12) disposed on one of the planes and each including at least one tool device (15, 16), at least one further tool device disposed on the other plane, and at least one means for generating oscillating motion (20) whereby a reciprocating movement can be generated at the level of each of the oscillating elements, so that the resultant of the vectors representing the dynamic forces associated with the movement of each of the oscillating elements is substantially equal to zero. There is then little or no induced vibration.
Claims14
A grinding machine comprising a frame containing at least two working planes including substantially orthogonal displacement axes, at least two oscillating elements disposed movably on one of said working planes, at least one tool device disposed on the other of said working planes, at least one servomotor for driving said oscillating elements, at least one means for generating oscillating motion, at least one further tool device associated with each of said oscillating elements, and means for generating a reciprocating movement of each of said oscillating elements, forming part of said at least one means for generating oscillating motion, the resultant of the vectors representing the dynamic forces associated with the movement of each of said oscillating elements being substantially equal to zero.
