A facing head (1) is here described comprising a fixed part (4), couplable with a head of a machine tool (2) via an interface plate (3), a rotary part (5), wherein a compartment (35) is placed internally to which drive means (100) and measurement means (101) are housed for driving and measuring a radial slide (6) which is supported by the rotary part (5) so as to close the compartment (35), and at least one electric collector suitable for transmitting the electrical signals for controlling the drive means (100) and measurement means (101) used for driving and measuring the radial slide (6). The facing head (1) comprises a continuous gasket (40), which is configured in such a way as to completely make contact with the radial slide (6) and is housed inside a respective recess (34) which externally surrounds the compartment (35), and a fluid collector, which is suitable for supplying the compartment (35) with pressurized air, so that the pressure inside the compartment (35) is higher than the atmospheric pressure, so as to seal the compartment (35). The fluid collector comprises a rotary portion (22), which is integral with the rotary part (5) of the facing head (1) and comprises first fluid routes (43) internally thereto, and a fixed portion (23), which is integral with the fixed part (4) of the facing head (1) and comprises, internally thereto, second fixed fluid routes (45) coupled with the first fluid routes (43) to supply the rotary part (5) with a coolant, to supply the compartment (35) with pressurized air, and to transport the oil necessary for automatically locking the radial slide (6).

A universal rotating chuck system capable of accommodating multiple small-batch or one-off machining jobs, involving workpieces of different diameter and composition, comprises a rotating chuck having multiple jaws that may be adjusted positionally inward or outward towards the longitudinal centerline of the workpiece or removed entirely. The chuck is rotated by a dual-motor system driving an inner and outer shaft, where the inner shaft is selectively coupled to the outer shafts to rotate independently and adjust the jaws, or rotate alongside the outer shaft to rotate the chuck. In operation, the system is capable of conducting numerous machining operations independent of direct user intervention, including loading/unloading workpieces, loading/unloading tools, measuring tools and workpieces for quality control, and storage.

A rail drill drive train can include a common drive end between a single drive motor and a common gear. A speed train end can extend from the common gear to rotate the drill spindle. A feed train end can independently extend from the common gear to advance and retract the drill spindle. The speed train end can include a sprag gear so that, without unmeshing any gears, the drill spindle is not unnecessarily rotated in the reverse direction when the drive motor is reversed to retract the drill spindle. A rail drill control circuit and related sensors can enable automatic operation throughout the complete drilling cycle without any manual input from the user other than starting the cycle. Such a fully automatic drilling cycle can minimize overall cycle time to preserve battery life and can free the user to perform other tasks between drill moving and clamping operations.

A transmission structure of a drilling machine contains: a housing, a drive shaft, a drive gear, a guide gear, a speed change gear assembly, a driven gear assembly, and a control knob. The housing include a first accommodation groove for housing the drive shaft, a second accommodation groove for accommodating the guide shaft, a third accommodation groove for housing the speed shaft, and a fourth accommodation groove for accommodating the driven shaft. The drive gear is connected on the drive shaft, and the guide gear is coupled on the guide shaft and meshes with the drive gear. The speed change gear assembly includes a connection gear and at least two speed change gears. The driven gear assembly includes at least two driven gears corresponding to at least two speed change gears respectively. The control knob configured to drive the driven gear assembly to move upward and downward.

According to one implementation, a tool feeding mechanism for a handheld tool rotating device, having a holder and a first air motor, includes a coupler, a fixing member, a moving mechanism and a second air motor. The holder chucks and holds a rotating tool. The first air motor rotates the holder. The tool feeding mechanism is attached to the tool rotating device. The coupler is attached to the tool rotating device. The fixing member is attached directly or indirectly to a workpiece of hole processing using the rotating tool. The moving mechanism moves the coupler relatively to the fixing member in a tool axis direction. The second air motor powers the moving mechanism.

A drill apparatus including an inner tube, an outer tube slidably received within the outer tube, and a pole extension mechanism. The pole extension mechanism comprises a pole advance gear having pole advance gear teeth, and a drive gear having drive gear teeth, the drive gear being coaxial with and fixedly attached to the pole advance gear so that the two gears rotate together. The pole advance gear teeth are received in aligned spaced apart apertures in the outer tube.

The pole extension mechanism further includes a stop pawl pivotally mounted on the support collar for rotation between where the stop pawl engages the drive gear and prevents downward movement of the pole inner tube relative to the pole outer tube, and where the stop pawl does not engage the drive gear, and a drive pawl piece pivotally mounted on the lever arm near the lever arm end.

The invention relates to a boring machine comprising a spindle (15) which is designed for rotationally driving a boring tool that is placed or can be placed on the spindle and which is paired together with rotational drive means that interact with a first drive motor (24) for rotational driving purposes and with adjustment drive means that interact with a second drive motor (26) for axially adjusting the spindle such that when the spindle is being rotated by the first drive motor, the spindle can be axially adjusted under the effect of the second drive motor. The rotational drive means have a rotational drive gear (38) which is connected to the spindle, and the adjustment drive means have an adjustment nut (58) which interacts with a threaded section (60) of the spindle (15) in the manner of a slide. Transmission means are integrated in the form of a transmission module for interacting with the rotational drive gear and the adjustment nut and are designed to connect to the first and the second drive motor. The transmission means have an adjustment gear (54) for meshing into a toothing of the adjustment nut (58), said adjustment gear being driven by a toothed gear assembly (46, 42) which engages onto an outer toothing (52) of the adjustment gear such that at least one first toothed gear (42a-c) of the toothed gear assembly receives a drive torque of the second drive motor, in particular the at least one first toothed gear interacts directly with a drive shaft (30) of the second drive motor (24, 24A), and at least one second toothed gear (46a-c, 46a-c) of the toothed gear assembly transmits a drive torque of the first toothed gear (26, 26k) to the outer toothing (52), in particular the at least one second toothed gear meshes directly with the first toothed gear and the outer toothing. The toothed gear assembly is held in a cage-like toothed gear support (44) such that at least the second toothed gear, preferably the first and the second toothed gear, can be released from the transmission module and replaced when disassembling the adjustment gear and/or a module which drives the rotational drive gear, in particular a toothed gear unit.
