METHOD OF TUNING IN THE DIMENSION OF CUTTING TOOLS ON MACHINE TOOLS WITH THE NUMERICAL PROGRAMMED CONTROL Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: machine tool manufacture. SUBSTANCE: tuning in the dimension of cutting tools is exercised by a tuning unit placed on the machine tool support according to the template of the tuning unit with the aid of the feeding mechanisms of the machine tool, the electronic unit of the machine tool control, and by the mechanism of the tuning unit. The machine tool support with the tuning unit is removed by the values determined by the possibility of tuning and securing the least idle stroke of the machine tool support. The first cutting tool of the turret head is installed. It is taken for the reference point for all the consequent ones. After tuning the first cutting tool and with the simultaneous displacement of the cutting tool template, the contact of the tool profile with the template one is exercised. The template and the tool are fixed. The fixation drop is fulfilled. It is considered as zero. The consequent tools are tuned in the metering zero with the introduction of correction for the fixed dimensions of the template. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency at the expense of reduced time of tuning. 6 dwg
