Abstract
A radial drilling device (1) for a lathe (5) for radially piercing a turning part (4) supported by the lathe. At least one drill bit (2b) is supported by a mobile drilling jaw (3a, 3b) in a transverse orthogonal plane to the axis of rotation of the part (4) to be drilled. A principal revolving drilling set (ERP) carries the drilling assembly and causes the drilling assembly to rotate around the longitudinal axis of revolution of the part (4), at the same rotational speed as that of the part (4) which is to be drilled.
Claims15
A radial drilling apparatus for drilling a radial bore in a part rotating in a lathe, the drilling apparatus comprising:
- a principal rotatory drilling set which carries a drilling means and which rotates the drilling means around an axis of revolution of a part to be drilled at a common rotational speed with the part to be drilled, the drilling means including at least one drill bit carried by a drilling jaw to move in a transverse plane orthogonal to the axis of revolution of the part to be drilled.
A method of drilling comprising:
- rotating a machinable part on a lathe at a first rotational speed;
- rotating at least one drill bit around the machinable member of the first rotational speed;
- boring a hole with the at least one drill bit into the machinable part while both the machinable part and the at least one drill bit are rotating at the first rotational speed.
A drilling apparatus for use in conjunction with a lathe, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one drill bit for boring a hole in a machinable member;
- at least one jaw for securing the at least one drill bit, the at least one jaw being rotatable about an axis of symmetry;
- a plurality of plates oblique to the axis of symmetry, which plates cam the at least one jaw more proximal to the axis of symmetry when the at least one jaw is translated along the axis of symmetry.
