This invention relates to a
machining apparatus and method for
machining grooves and holes in the inner cavity of an
inertial platform frame workpiece, belonging to the field of precision
machining technology. The machining apparatus includes a main spindle connecting rod, a small spindle connecting rod 8, and a small spindle, driven by a
machine tool spindle. The overall length of the machining apparatus can be adjusted to fit the inner cavity of the workpiece by moving bolts within a locking groove. During machining, the machining apparatus is first installed and adjusted to the required length. The verticality of the small spindle is then checked using a mandrel and a dial indicator. The workpiece is then clamped onto the worktable. By controlling the rotation angle of the
machine tool spindle, the small spindle and its
cutting tool are driven to sequentially
machine the cross groove at the bottom of the workpiece's inner cavity, the 45° inclined grooves on the bottom and top sides, and the holes at the bottom of each groove. This invention has a simple structure, good rigidity, and can complete the machining of complex features in multiple directions of the inner cavity in a single clamping operation, significantly improving machining efficiency, reducing the cost of specialized tooling, and offering strong versatility.
