Apparatus and method for cutting inner surface of hole
A hole inner-surface cutting apparatus includes a working head composed of a rotatable body having a cutting tool and a main body, a rotation rod for rotating the rotatable body, and a stroke rod for stroking the working head. At least three positioning mechanisms for positioning the working head along a radial direction in the penetrating hole is provided on the main body. Each of the positioning mechanisms has three sliders arranged radially, guide rollers respectively disposed on distal ends of the sliders, a piston for pressing the sliders radially outward, and a fluid pressure chamber for actuating the piston. Further provided is a controller for controlling fluid pressures in the fluid pressure chambers of the positioning mechanisms independently from each other.
Inner shaft machining tool
Machining tool for internal machining of a shaft (2) with an inner bore (3), such as an aircraft engine turbine shaft (fan mid shaft). The machining tool has an external boring bar (6) support device (5), and a boring bar (6) having a diameter smaller than a smallest opening on one side (4) of the inner bore (3) of the shaft (2). The boring bar (6) has a radially extensible cutting insert (7), and an end part (6b) of the boring bar (6) is rotatably connected to a main part (6a) of the boring bar (6). The end part (6b) is provided with one or more radially moveable guiding pads (8).
AXLE BORING MACHINE, MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES AND AXLE REPAIR METHODS
An axle boring assembly includes a portable power head or drive unit, a bearing pack to which the drive unit is attached, an adjusting base to which the bearing pack is adjustably secured and a mounting assembly which fits over a motor vehicle axle and to which the adjusting base is secured.

Gearbox repair apparatus
The present disclosure is directed to a gearbox repair apparatus for repairing a bore hole of a gearbox torque arm. In certain embodiments, the apparatus includes a mounting structure configured to mount to the torque arm. The mounting structure includes a through hole that aligns with the bore hole of the torque arm when mounted thereto. As such, when mounted to the torque arm, the mounting structure is configured to locate a boring bar at a center of the bore hole such that the boring bar is perpendicular to a face of the torque arm. Further, the mounting structure is configured to receive the boring bar through the aligned through hole and bore hole such that, when inserted therethrough, the boring bar is configured to machine and thus repair the bore hole.
