[0022] Combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the schematic diagram of a flange processing machine, the fixed coil 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the pipe fitting 8 to be processed by the fastening bolt 14 and the fastening clamp 15, and the base of the θ-axis main motor 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed coil 2.

[0023] The moving coil 1 is located on the outer ring of the fixed coil 2. The fixed coil 2 and the moving coil 1 are connected by a crossed roller bearing, which enables smooth rotation of the fixed coil 2 and the moving coil 1 under longitudinal stress.

A vertical screw is provided in the guide groove. The tool holder 6 is located in the guide groove and is connected to the vertical screw. The turning tool 7 is installed on the tool holder and is perpendicular to the machining surface. An end of the r-axis slider 4 is equipped with a Z-axis motor 12, and the Z-axis motor 12 drives the turning tool 7 to move vertically. The controller is respectively connected to the θ-axis main motor, the r-axis motor, and the Z-axis motor through wires. A support 5 is provided on the bridge 3, and a conductive slip ring is installed on the support. On the one hand, the conductive slip ring is connected to an external power supply for power supply, and on the other hand, it is respectively connected to the r-axis motor, the Z-axis motor, and the controller through wires.

[0025] Preferably, the guide groove is a dovetail groove to ensure the correct cutting angle of the tool. The vertical screw is a nut screw.
