Oscillating grinding machine
The present invention relates particularly to an oscillating grinding machine. The grinding machine comprises a driving motor ( 3 ) surrounded by a body ( 3 ), and a drive shaft ( 4 ) cooperating with the driving motor. The drive shaft comprises a grinding head ( 5 ) that constitutes a support for a grinding product ( 8 ). The drive shaft ( 4 ) is arranged in two pieces and comprises a main shaft ( 11 ) and an eccentric shaft ( 10 ) arranged rigidly thereto. The eccentric shaft comprises a centre line ( 12 ) that assumes an angle (α) against a corresponding centre line ( 13 ) of the main shaft, and thus the grinding head ( 5 ) will assume an eccentric placement in relation to the main shaft ( 11 ). Thus, the grinding head is arranged to oscillate in a substantially spherical plane provided by the rotation of the main shaft and the eccentricity and inclination of the eccentric shaft in relation to the main shaft.
1. An oscillating grinding machine, comprising:
a driving motor surrounded by a body; and
a drive shaft that cooperates with the driving motor and comprises a grinding head as a support for a flexible grinding product, the grinding head being mounted in bearings for free rotation around the drive shaft;
wherein the drive shaft is in two pieces, comprising a main shaft and an eccentric shaft arranged rigidly thereto in such a manner that the eccentric shaft comprises a centre line that assumes an angle against a corresponding centre line comprised by the main shaft and that the grinding head is arranged to the eccentric shaft for an eccentric placement in relation to the main shaft;
whereby the grinding head is arranged to assume an oscillation in a substantially spherical plane created by the rotation of the main shaft and the eccentricity and inclination of the eccentric shaft in relation to the main shaft;
wherein the drive shaft of the grinding machine is replaceable; and
wherein the centre line of the eccentric shaft assumes an angle against the centre line of the main shaft that differs from the angle before the replacement.
