Abstract

A boring and turning mill, comprising a nonrotatable tool ram, a rotationally drivable tool spindle in the tool ram, an auxiliary head which can be attached to the tool ram in a nonrotatable manner, two work slides arranged in opposition to each other and displaceable and movable in a radially adjustable manner in the auxiliary head, each slide having a respective tool receptacle, and a drive connection to the slides for effecting a radial infeed movement of the work slides, between the tool spindle and the work slides. The drive connection is a threaded spindle which engages threads on the work slides, so that axial movement of the threaded spindle causes radial movement of the work slides.

Claims (16)

1. A boring and turning mill, comprising

a nonrotatable tool ram;

a rotationally drivable tool spindle in the tool ram;

a auxiliary head which can be attached to the tool ram in a nonrotatable manner;

two work slides arranged in opposition to each other and displaceable in the auxiliary head in a radially adjustable manner, and each having a respective tool receptacle, and

a drive connection to the slides operable thereon for effecting a radial infeed movement of the work slides, between the tool spindle and the work slides.

2. The boring and turning mill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drive connection comprises a drive spindle, which can be coupled to the tool spindle in the auxiliary head, a gear on the drive spindle and located in the region of the work slides, and tooth systems on the work slides and in engagement with the gear.

3. The boring and turning mill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drive connection comprises

a nut which can be coupled to the tool spindle;

an axially adjustable threaded spindle interacting with the nut such that rotation of the nut with respect to the threaded spindle causes axial movement of the threaded spindle;

opposed first helical tooth systems on the threaded spindle;

corresponding second helical tooth systems on the work slides for being acted upon by the first tooth systems for causing the threaded spindle to move axially.

4. The boring and turning mill as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the rack includes a flatted toothed rack part of the threaded spindle and the first tooth systems engage the toothed rack part.

5. The boring and turning mill as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the angles of the second helical tooth systems on the work slides and the first tooth systems on the toothed rack part are such that a radial adjusting travel of the work slides of 0.5 mm corresponds to an axial movement of the threaded spindle of 1 mm.

6. The boring and turning mill as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a tool receptacle on the tool ram set up for automatically accommodating a correspondingly adapted retaining part of the auxiliary head and a machine taper for coupling between the tool ram and a corresponding element of the drive connection.

7. The boring and turning mill as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a direct displacement measuring system arranged in the region of the work slides.
