AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing pick-up vertical lathes are limited by fixed angular positions due to circumferential uprights, requiring separate control for each tool and restricting configurability and precision in material-removal operations.

Method used

A pick-up vertical lathe design featuring a drum with a combined radial-axial bearing and torque motor control, allowing continuous orbital motion and precise control of cut depth, with tool-holder devices that can rotate and move radially for flexible operation and high automation.

Benefits of technology

Enables precise and flexible material-removal operations with high automation, compact size, and efficient handling of semifinished products between infinite angular positions, improving configurability and reducing the need for separate control devices.

Abstract

An automatic working station for material-removal operations comprises a base (2), a drum (3) rotatable about a vertical axis (A) and supported by said base (2), at least one rotating piece-holder spindle (16) and a tool -holder device (6) cooperating with the spindle (16) for performing material -removal operations, at least one of the tool-holder devices (6) and spindle (16) being connected to the drum (3) in a mobile manner along a straight line, the working station further comprising at least one operative device (16) mounted on the drum (3) and angularly spaced with respect to the tool-holder device (6) or spindle (16) mounted on the drum (3).
