Abstract
The miller comprises a pair of benches situated on both sides of a framework, in such a manner that on the upper crossbar is mounted, displaceable and guidable, a transverse support that carries a couple of vertical arms on which are mounted the corresponding tools, the arms being dispaceable towards one side or the other with respect to the support, while the tool that is borne by each of the arms may move upward/downward, as well as rotate, in such a manner that a combination of these movements produced by their corresponding motors allows simultaniously making two pieces that are symmetrical or the same, as well as effect simultanious digitalized work with one arm and milling with the other, after having mounted the corresponding tool on one arm and a digitalizer on the other.
Claims15
A double arm vertical miller for machining two mirror-image articles or two identical articles, or for simultaneously performing a machining operation and a digitalizing operation, comprising
- a) a bench,
- b) a vertical frame extending upwardly from a mid-portion of said bench to divide the bench into two bench portions,
- c) said vertical frame including an upper horizontal cross bar guide having opposite end portions,
- d) a transverse support extending transversely of said cross bar guide and slideable on said cross bar guide from one of said opposite end portions to the other said opposite end portion and vice versa in directions parallel to an "X" coordinate,
- e) a pair of spaced vertical arms slideably mounted to said transverse support above a respective said bench portion for back and forth movement in directions parallel to a "Y" coordinate,
- f) a tool member mounted to each of said vertical arms for movement with the respective said vertical arms,
- g) means on each of said vertical arms for displacing respective said tools downwardly or upwardly toward or away from said bench portions in directions parallel to a "Z" coordinate,
- h) and means for rotating said tools
- (i) in the same direction to provide identical machined articles, or
- (ii) in opposite directions to provide mirror-image articles, or
- (iii) to permit rotation of one of said tools without rotating the other said tool to provide one machined article.
