According to the present apparatus work pieces such as railroad wheels are power clamped on a cone shaped inwardly facing side. In a first clamping step clamping areas are impressed into the side or surface of the work piece said clamping areas having a suitable inclination. In a second clamping step the actual power clamping is performed at these clamping areas. For this purpose a plurality of radially moving clamping jaws are arranged to carry at least one clamping tooth. Each clamping tooth in turn is adjustable in its position in an axial direction along its respective radially moveable clamping jaw.

Apparatus for power clamping work pieces

The present method relates to finish boring of prebored bores in a work piece such that an operative fit with a counterpart or further work piece is achieved. The finishing of the bore may be accomplished independently of the instantaneous temperature of the work piece and of the counterpart by operating a tool carriage, for example, on a lathe, with a stepping motor controlled by a correction value computer which generates a control signal in response to a temperature difference between the work piece temperature and a reference temperature. The reference temperature may be that of the further work piece.
