Abstract
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece includes a support housing adapted to be mounted on the work piece and a headstock rotatably mounted on the support housing. At least one tool module is mounted to the headstock and includes a tool feed system having a tool holder and a feed mechanism operatively connected to the tool holder. A tripper pin assembly is mounted on the support housing and arranged to collide with the feed mechanism for advancement of the tool holder relative to the work piece. The feed mechanism collides with the tripper pin assembly at a collision point radially positioned inside of an outer diameter of the headstock.
Claims19
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece comprising:
- a support housing adapted to be mounted on the work piece;
- a headstock rotatably mounted on the support housing;
- at least one tool module mounted to the headstock and including a tool feed system having a tool holder and a feed mechanism operatively connected to the tool holder;
- and
- a tripper pin assembly mounted on the support housing and arranged to collide with the feed mechanism for advancement of the tool holder relative to the work piece,
- wherein the tripper pin assembly collides with the feed mechanism at a collision point radially positioned inside of an outer diameter of the headstock, the radial position of the collision point being adjustable relative to the at least one tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the at least one tool module.
A tool feed system for use with a rotating machining device having a support housing, a headstock rotatable relative to the support housing, and a tool module mounted to the headstock, the tool feed system comprising:
- a tool holder slidably positionable on the tool module;
- a feed mechanism operatively connected to the tool holder;
- a tripper pin assembly mountable on the support housing and including a tripper element fixedly positioned relative to the support housing and arranged to collide with the feed mechanism for advancement of the tool holder relative to the tool module,
- wherein the tripper element collides with the feed mechanism at a collision point that is adjustable relative to the tool module such that the collision point is radially repositionable independent of the tool module.
A rotating machining device for machining a work piece comprising:
- a body including a support housing and a headstock rotatable relative to the support housing;
- a tool feed system including a tool module attached to the headstock;
- and
- a tripper pin assembly attached to the support housing and arranged to collide with the tool feed system at a collision point located inside or substantially adjacent an outer diameter of the body for advancement of the tool feed system relative to the work piece,
- wherein the radial position of the collision point is adjustable relative to the tool module such that the collision point is repositionable independent of the tool module.
