Abstract
A planing device for planing a first, movable surface of a machine is set forth. The machine includes a second surface from which the first, movable surface can be retracted. The planing device includes a base and a planing assembly. The base is slidably connected to the second surface and partially seated in an interspace formed between the first and second surfaces. The planing assembly includes a stationary planing tool and is connected to the base.
Claims19
In combination, a reconditioning planing device in association with a machine to be reconditioned, the combination comprising the following:
- a first, movable horizontal upper surface on the machine, the machine including a second surface beneath and substantially parallel to the first surface and from which the first, movable surface can be retracted;
- the planing device including a base slidably connected to the second surface and seated in an interspace formed between the first and second surfaces;
- and
- planing means, including a stationary planing tool and connected to the base, for planing the first, movable surface, the planing means in operation being movable in a direction transverse to the normal direction of movement of the first, movable surface.
In combination, a reconditioning planing device in association with a machine to be reconditioned, the combination comprising the following:
- a first surface on the machine;
- the machine having a second surface disposed beneath and substantially parallel to the first surface, and a substantially continuous concavity in the second surface,
- the planing device including a base connected to a tang removably and slidably disposed in the concavity and a planing assembly provided over and connected to the base, the planing assembly in operation being located between the first and second surfaces.
A reconditioning planing device for planing a first, movable ram surface of a press brake, the press brake including a second surface from which the first, movable surface can be retracted, the planing device comprising the following:
- a base seated in an interspace formed between the first and second surfaces;
- a tang connected to and extending below the base;
- a removable die shoe slidably connected to the second surface and having an upper continuous groove adapted to receive the tang of the base;
- a planing assembly including a cutting bit connected to a cutting bit support assembly and to an adjustment assembly, both the cutting bit support assembly and the adjustment assembly disposed over and connected to the base;
- and
- the cutting bit having a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge of the cutting bit is maintained at a fixed angle with respect to a plane of movement of the first, movable surface while the planing device planes the first, movable surface.
