Abstract
A tool guiding device including a base frame and guiding rails arranged on the base frame so that they are parallel in relation to each other. At least one carriage having a machining tool is guided on the guiding rails in a linearly displaceable manner by a drive device with a carriage connecting element. The tool guiding device of this invention guides the tool in a precise, non-abrasive manner. Thus, the carriage is coupled to the carriage connection by a compensation device including at least one angle compensating element and at least one lateral compensating element.
Claims17
A tool guiding device with a base frame (1) and guide rails (2) which are parallel relative to each other arranged on the base frame (1) and at least one carriage (3, 4) having a processing tool (13, 14) displaceably linearly guided via a carriage connector (10, 11) by a drive mechanism, the tool guiding device comprising:
- the carriage (3, 4) coupled to the carriage connectors (10, 11) via at least one compensating device (9) having at least one angle compensation element (9.4) and at least one lateral compensation element;
- the angle compensation element (9.4) comprising a ball element or a ball section element rigidly connected with the carriage connector (10, 11);
- the at least one lateral compensation element including an intermediate piece (9.1) forming a ball socket (9.11), wherein the angle compensation element (9.4) is seated in the ball socket (9.11) of the intermediate piece (9.1);
- the intermediate piece (9.1) either forming a further ball socket (9.12) on a side facing away from the ball socket (9.11) in which one of a further ball element and a further ball section element (9.5) connected with the carriage (3, 4) is seated in an articulated manner, or on the side facing away from the ball socket (9.11) the intermediate piece (9.1) is seated on a bearing that is moveable transversely to a displacement direction of the carriage (3.4).
