Pipe end machining device
A pipe end machining device configured to machine an end of a pipe includes an outer housing, a spindle rotatably mounted within the outer housing and configured to carry tool supports and cutting tools, a mounting assembly configured to be attached to the pipe, a stem extending from the mounting assembly and connected to the spindle by an interengagement which allows the spindle to move linearly relative to the stem, but prevents rotational movement of the spindle relative to the stem, and a locking assembly attached to the stem and configured to fix the vertical position of the outer housing and the spindle relative to the mounting assembly.
CHAMFERING DEVICE AND CHAMFERING METHOD
A chamfering device includes: a main body including, at a proximal end side thereof, a shank to be attached to a main shaft of a machine tool, the main body including, at a distal end side thereof, a shaft portion extending in a rotational axis direction; a movable body whose proximal end portion is mounted to the shaft portion, the movable body being configured to rotate together with the shaft portion and be movable in the rotational axis direction; an urging member configured to urge the movable body in a direction toward the distal end of the main body; a chamfering tool mounted to a distal end portion of the movable body and configured to rotate together with the movable body to perform chamfering on an edge portion of a workpiece; and a following member mounted to the movable body such that a position of the following member relative to the movable body in the rotational axis direction is invariable and the following member is rotatable relative to the movable body, the following member being configured such that a distal end thereof comes into contact with a surface of the workpiece.
Tube peeling witness groove methods and apparatus
A tube scraping tool comprises: a handle; and a blade, carried by the handle. The tool has first and second laterally spaced apart portions for engaging the tube outer diameter (OD) surface during a drawing of the tool along the tube. The blade has a cutting edge trailing the first and second portions during the drawing and laterally between the first and second portions.
Tool body having an inner insert receiving pocket with resilient clamping member, cutting tool and chamfering cutting insert therefor
A cutting tool includes a tool body having a peripherally disposed outer insert receiving pocket and an interiorly disposed inner insert receiving pocket with a cutting insert resiliently clamped therein. The tool body includes a through recess at least partially circumferentially bounded by a recess circumferential surface. A resilient clamping member extends into the through recess. The inner insert receiving pocket is formed by the resilient clamping member and a recess pocket portion of the recess circumferential surface. A chamfering cutting insert may be retained by the resilient clamping member, without the use of an additional, separate clamping device.
Pipe cutting tool and methods for use
An apparatus for cutting a pipe has a base comprising a pipe support having at least one set of lower rollers and an upper frame supporting a cutting apparatus and at least one upper roller. The upper frame is moveable relative to the base between an open position in which the pipe may be inserted between the at least one set of lower rollers and the at least one upper roller, and a clamping position in which the pipe is in contact with the at least one set of lower rollers and the at least one upper roller. The cutting apparatus comprises a grooving member configured to provide an annular groove on an outer surface of the pipe, a cutting member configured to cut the pipe, and a chamfering member configured to provide a chamfer on the outer surface of the pipe between a location of the annular groove and a location of the cut in the pipe.
Pipe cutter with gauge and reamer/beveller of cut pipe edges
A pipe cutter with gauge and reamer/beveller of the cut edges of pipe. On the body of the pipe cutter there is at least one gauge; between it and the body a cavity is delimited capable of accepting the end of a pipe (t); each gauge having on its end a mouth that varies its diameter between a minimum (d1) at its base and a maximum (d) that coincides with the gauge of the pipe (t) it accepts. There is also at least one blade on each existing gauge or on a beveller equipped with one or several portions (S) with at least one blade on each of them. A pipe (t) is inserted in the corresponding gauge, first gauging the diameter of its cut edge and then the blades simultaneously bevel and ream the cut pipe (t) edge.
Methods of forming holes in a workpiece and associated systems
Described herein is a first method of forming a hole in a workpiece, having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The method includes forming a first hole, having a first diameter, in the workpiece by passing a first cutter through the workpiece from the first surface to the second surface. Additionally, the method includes forming a chamfer in the second surface of the workpiece concentric with the first hole using a second cutter. The chamfer has a second diameter larger than the first diameter. The method further includes forming a second hole, having a third diameter larger than the first diameter, in the workpiece concentric with the first hole by passing a third cutter through the workpiece from the first surface to the second surface.
Pipe end machining device
A pipe end machining device configured to machine an end of a pipe includes an outer housing having a spindle rotatably mounted therein, tool carriers are mounted on the spindle, a hub assembly attached to the outer housing, a vertical adjustment assembly attached to the hub assembly and to the outer housing, and a drive assembly configured to rotate the spindle and tool carriers. The vertical adjustment assembly adjusts the upward and downward position of the cutting tools relative to the pipe. The hub assembly mounts the device to the pipe and fixes the relative upward or downward position of the cutting tools relative to the pipe, thereby preventing vibration and chatter when the device is cutting a planar surface on the end of the pipe.
Wheel bolt hole chamfer device
A wheel bolt hole chamfer device is composed of a base, a support frame, a lower servo motor, a turntable, stop blocks, guide rails, strong springs, a driving friction wheel, driven shafts, driven friction wheels, chamfer cutters and the like. The device can be put into a production line as a fourth-procedure machining device, and bolt hole chamfers are no longer machined in three procedures, so that the three-procedure machining time is reduced; and after the fourth procedure for machining the bolt hole chamfers is supplemented, the machining time of a single wheel is shortened, and the efficiency is improved. The device integrates pitch diameter adjustment and rotating drive of the chamfer cutters, so that a drive system and a power system are greatly simplified, i.e., the manufacturing cost of the device is reduced, all bolt hole chamfers can be machined at the same time.
