Abstract
In a turning machine or the like having a tool for simultaneous axial and radial profiling of work, that invention which includes a rotatable spindle having a forward end and work support means on the forward end, circumferential profiling means rotatably mounted on the spindle and a carriage support mounted on the machine adjacent the spindle, a movable tool support carrier on the carriage support movable in a direction generally parallel to the spindle axis, a tool holder mounted in the tool support carrier for movement parallel to and radially of said spindle axis and the tool holder including longitudinal profiling means and including tracking means mounted between the circumferential profiling means and the longitudinal profiling means for simultaneously tracking both of the profiling means. The invention includes means in a turning machine or the like in which the tool axially and radially profiles work with at least two different patterns including, a first set of cooperating circumferential and longitudinal profiling means for forming a first control pattern, a second set of cooperating circumferential and longitudinal profiling means for forming a second controlled pattern, means for rotating the work on its longitudinal axis, means for moving the tool into engagement with the work and in the direction of the works longitudinal axis, means for operatively connecting said first and second sets of profiling means with said tool, and means for positioning said first set of profiling means relative to said second set of profiling means whereby when the work is rotated and the tool moved into engagement therewith, the work is profiled with at least said two different patterns according to the positioning of said first and second sets of cooperating circumferential profiling means.
