Claims
- 1. In an incremental feed device for a tool or workpiece in a machine tool, wherein the machine tool has a rotatable shaft and feed of said tool or workpiece is effected by rotation of the rotatable shaft; the improvement comprising a circular disk mounted concentrically on said rotatable shaft for rotation therewith, lever means pivotally mounted on the axis of said shaft and adjacent said circular disk, stop means positioned to limit angular displacement of said lever in one direction, linear acting drive means having first and second ends, the first end thereof being coupled to move said lever means into and out of engagement with said stop means, adjustable position mounting means coupled to pivotally support the second end of said linear acting drive means, and selectively operable coupling means mounted to couple said lever means to said circular disk, and rotary drive means connected to said shaft.
- 2. The feed device of claim 1, wherein said coupling means comprises pressure-actuated clamping means on said lever means and positioned to engage said circular disk.
- 3. The feed device of claim 1, wherein said linear acting drive means comprises a pressure-actuated piston and cylinder device.
- 4. The device of claim 1, further comprising switching means mounted at the end position of movement of said lever means for providing a signal responsive to the engagement of said lever means with said stop means.
- 5. The incremental feed device of claim 1, wherein said drive means comprises a piston-cylinder, and further comprising means for adjusting the position of said piston-cylinder whereby the amplitude of said incremental feed may be adjusted.
- 6. The incremental feed device of claim 5, wherein said coupling means comprises a piston-cylinder means affixed to said lever adjacent the periphery of said circular disk with the piston thereof mounted for axial movement to engage said circular disk, whereby the periphery of said disk may be frictionally coupled to said lever means, and spring means for resiliently biasing said last-mentioned piston away from said circular disk.
- 7. The incremental feed device of claim 5, further comprising switch means positioned to engage said lever means at a position corresponding to the stop position of said lever means defined by said stop means.
- 8. The incremental feed device of claim 1 wherein said adjustable position mounting means comprises a threaded shaft coupled to adjust the position of said second end of said linear acting drive means.
- 9. The incremental feed device of claim 8 comprising manual feed means for said threaded shaft.
- 10. The incremental feed device of claim 9 comprising pivoted lever means coupling said second end of said linear acting drive means to said threaded shaft.
- 11. The incremental feed device of claim 8 wherein said rotary drive means comprises manually operable drive means coupled to rotate said rotatable shaft.
- 12. The incremental feed device of claim 1 wherein said adjustable position mounting means comprising continuously adjustable positioning means for said second end of said linear acting drive means, and manually operable means for adjusting said positioning means, whereby the relative incremental feed of said feed device may be adjusted to be of any magnitude.
