20100061818 | DIAMETER ADJUSTMENT ORIENTED BALANCING SYSTEM - A diameter adjustment oriented balancing system is disclosed for use with small diameter rotary boring heads. The diameter adjustment oriented balancing system includes a rotary boring head with a radially movable tool carrier. The rotary boring head designed to receive a number of removable counterweights in one or more slots precisely aligned in the axis of radial movement of the tool carrier. The diameter adjustment oriented balancing system further comprises a series of boring bars which are designed to be perfectly balanced such that the combination of the rotary boring head and cutting tool holder is perfectly balanced when the center of the cutting tool holder is located at the center of the rotational axis of the rotary boring head. | 03-11-2010 |
20100051610 | COMBINATION TOOL PRESETTER AND INDUCTION HEAT-SHRINK APPARATUS - An apparatus is disclosed for accurately positioning a tool within a shrink-fit tool holder. The apparatus includes a combined tool presetter and heat-shrink device. The tool assembly is placed in a precision rotating spindle that is able to travel into a contained location for cooling of the tool assembly subsequent to heating the tool assembly through induction. The apparatus is adapted such that the precision rotating spindle precisely returns to a home measuring position subsequent to cooling for final measurement of the tool assembly. The presetter allows for measurements related to the tool assembly both prior to and subsequent to the shrink-fitting process. | 03-04-2010 |
