Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine tool, in particular a table saw, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • This comprises a rip fence for guiding a workpiece in the feed direction of the workpiece with respect to a machining tool of the machine tool, a machine-fixed guide rail on which the rip fence is guided and displaceable an adjustment mechanism comprising a coarse adjustment for adjusting the rip fence relative to the machining tool in a direction transverse to the infeed direction and a fine adjustment for correcting the coarse adjustment in a direction transverse to the infeed direction.
  • circular table saws are generally equipped with a rip fence, which enables a workpiece to be cut parallel to the sides with the saw blade.
  • a rip fence is usually attached to the support surface of the saw table, its longitudinal axis being aligned parallel to the cutting plane of the saw blade.
  • the workpiece is guided along a stop surface of the rip fence that is aligned with the saw blade and is guided to the saw blade in a feed direction.
  • the cutting width of the workpiece is specified with the help of the rip fence.
  • the publication describes DE 10 2004 022 088 A1 a corresponding stop which can be adjusted relative to a guide rail by means of a coarse adjustment, the guide rail itself in turn being adjustable relative to the saw blade by means of a device for fine adjustment.
  • the stop is moved relative to the guide rail in a first step until roughly the position that corresponds to the desired cutting width is reached. Then the stop is fixed in its position relative to the guide rail by means of a clamping screw and, in a further step, the guide rail together with the stop attached to it is fine-tuned again relative to the saw blade plane with the aid of the fine adjustment.
  • a disadvantage of such solutions known from the prior art is, in particular, that separate adjustment and fixing means are provided for the coarse adjustment and the fine adjustment. As a result, it is necessary for the user to actuate several adjustment means and several fixing means before the desired end position of the rip fence relative to the cutting plane of the machining tool can be reached. This makes the setting time-consuming and burdensome for the user, since a large number of individual steps are necessary. Furthermore, the multiple adjustment means and multiple fixing means lead to a comparatively large structure of the adjustment mechanism, which makes it unwieldy to operate and expensive to manufacture.
  • One object of the present invention is thus to provide a simple and quick setting option and fixing of a rip fence for a machine tool, which at least partially eliminates the disadvantages described above.
  • the present invention proposes a machine tool having the features of claim 1.
  • the adjustment mechanism comprises a fixing means that is able to block both the coarse adjustment and the fine adjustment in order to fix the rip fence in a desired end position relative to the machining tool on the guide rail, and in a released position both able to release both the coarse adjustment and the fine adjustment of the rip fence (12), so that after the single fixing means has been released, an adjustment by means of the coarse adjustment and / or by means of the fine adjustment is made possible. Since the coarse adjustment as well as the fine adjustment of the rip fence can be blocked by means of a single fixing means, it is also sufficient to provide a single fixing means. This in turn allows work steps for the user can be saved.
  • the adjustment mechanism is simplified compared to the solutions known from the prior art, which enables a reduction in manufacturing and assembly costs and a more space-saving construction of the adjustment mechanism.
  • the adjustment arrangement for fine adjustment can be moved freely with a coarse adjustment by the user or at least partially can be switched from an active state during the fine adjustment to an inactive state during a coarse adjustment by the user.
  • both the coarse adjustment and the fine adjustment of the rip fence can be effected either by means of a single adjustment arrangement.
  • the adjustment arrangement can be put into an inactive state during the coarse adjustment.
  • the adjustment arrangement comprises at least one setting wheel.
  • the setting wheel can be rotatably mounted on the rip fence and, at least in an active state, have a non-positive and / or positive connection with its outer surface with a machine-fixed component, in particular with the guide rail.
  • the setting wheel is attached to a component that is fixed to the machine, in particular to the guide rail, is rotatably mounted and is at least in an active state with its outer surface in a force-locking and / or form-locking connection with the rip fence.
  • connection can be made directly or indirectly, ie with components or parts connected in between, regardless of the design variant. All the parts that are fixed relative to the machine housing and, in the case of a machine tool with a machining table or machining surface, relative to this machining surface, are defined as machine-fixed components.
  • the setting wheel is rotatably mounted directly or indirectly on the rip fence and is moved along with it in the event of an adjustment of the rip fence. It runs with its outer surface on a machine-fixed component, for example on the guide rail.
  • the setting wheel can also be provided on a machine-fixed component, for example on the guide rail and roll with its outer surface on the rip fence when this is moved relative to the machine-fixed component.
  • a machine-fixed component for example on the guide rail and roll with its outer surface on the rip fence when this is moved relative to the machine-fixed component.
  • An indirect connection can consist in that a component firmly connected to the rip fence, e.g. a guide saddle for guiding the rip fence on the guide rail, is in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection with the outer surface of the setting wheel.
  • the adjustment arrangement in particular the setting wheel, from an active state, in which it is in a force-fitting or form-fitting connection with the rip fence or a machine-fixed component and is able to roll on this or this, into an inactive one State in which there is no longer such a connection.
  • the setting wheel can be mounted displaceably between an active position and an inactive position on the component which rotatably supports the setting wheel, and can be placed in an active or inactive state as a result of a displacement movement.
  • the adjusting arrangement in particular the adjusting wheel, can be preloaded in one position by means of an elastic element such as a spring, for example in an inactive position in which it is in its inactive state and no frictional and / or positive connection with the rip fence or a produces component fixed to the housing.
  • an elastic element such as a spring
  • the spring force it moves quasi-automatically back into the inactive position when the fine adjustment by the user is finished.
  • the adjusting wheel can furthermore have a rubber coating, a toothing and / or a knurling on its outer surface to produce the non-positive and / or positive connection.
  • a rubber coating can be used to achieve a friction fit between the contact surface and the jacket surface.
  • a toothing on the lateral surface of the setting wheel can engage in a counter-toothing on the contact surface of the machine-fixed component or the parallel stop to produce a form-fitting connection.
  • a knurling on the outer circumferential surface or lateral surface of the setting wheel can enable a combined non-positive and positive connection in the case of a corresponding counter-structure. If such a counter structure is dispensed with, a non-positive connection is primarily achieved.
  • the setting wheel can also serve as an actuating means of the adjusting mechanism, so that knurling or rubber coating is particularly advantageous for manual actuation by the user.
  • the setting wheel can also be connected non-rotatably to an additional actuating element, such as a rotary knob, so that it then has a surface design that is pleasant for the user The outer surface does not matter and a toothing may be preferable if necessary.
  • the rip fence comprises a guide saddle for the displaceable mounting of the rip fence on the guide rail.
  • the fixing means can be designed in the manner of a clamping screw which achieves a direct or indirect clamping of the guide saddle against a machine-fixed component, in particular the guide rail.
  • a clamping screw acts directly on the guide rail or a machine-fixed component or that it causes a component, for example a leg of the guide saddle, or an additional component, against the machine-fixed component, in particular the guide rail.
  • the fixing means interacts with the adjustment arrangement for fine adjustment and blocks it.
  • This refinement is particularly advantageous when the adjustment arrangement for fine adjustment also effects the coarse adjustment at the same time or is at least able to rotate freely with it, but remains in its active state.
  • the coarse adjustment is also blocked and fixing is achieved by means of a single fixing means.
  • the adjustment arrangement in particular the setting wheel, is rotatably mounted on the guide saddle.
  • the guide saddle can be made somewhat wider than the rip fence in order to ensure better guidance. The widened section can then also be used to accommodate the adjustment arrangement.
  • the adjustment arrangement can also comprise several adjusting wheels. This can be advantageous, for example, when the adjusting wheels are rotatably arranged on the guide saddle of the rip fence and in this way at the same time enable the rip fence to be guided on the guide rail.
  • the misunderstanding in the manual coarse adjustment which is also known from the prior art, can thereby advantageously be avoided or at least reduced.
  • a recess is provided on the guide saddle, through which the adjustment arrangement, in particular the at least one setting wheel, partially extends in order to be manually operated by a user.
  • This embodiment variant is particularly advantageous when the setting wheel is to serve as an actuating element at the same time.
  • FIGS. 1A to 3B show an embodiment of a machine tool according to the invention in an isometric overall representation and in a detailed view.
  • This machine tool is a table saw T, where in Figure 1B only that section (detail B of Figure 1A ) is shown in an isometric view, in which an adjusting mechanism of a stop device according to the invention, which is indicated with the reference numeral 10, is shown.
  • This stop device 10 comprises a parallel stop 12, which extends in a longitudinal direction L (cf. Figure 2 ) extends.
  • the rip fence 12 comprises a stop carrier 12a, a stop surface 12b which is detachably attached to it, and fastening screws 12c for fastening the stop surface 12b to the stop carrier 12a.
  • the rip fence 12 can also be moved in a direction transverse to the infeed direction of a workpiece with respect to a machining tool of the machine tool, indicated by the arrow R (cf. Figure 1A and 1B ), can be moved back and forth.
  • the rip fence 12 can be displaced along a machine-fixed guide rail 14 and is guided on it.
  • the guide rail 14 is on a machining table BT (cf. Figure 1A ) the table saw T is held firmly in place. For example, it can be fastened to the latter via fastening screws (not shown) in order to be exchangeable in the event of damage.
  • the stop device 10 furthermore comprises an adjustment mechanism 20 with a coarse setting for adjusting the parallel stop 12 relative to the machining tool S (cf. Figure 1A ) in the R direction and with a fine adjustment to correct the coarse adjustment in the R direction.
  • the adjusting mechanism 20 As in FIG Figure 1B can be seen, an adjustment arrangement comprising an adjusting wheel 22.
  • This is rotatably held on a guide saddle 24, which is firmly connected to the rip fence 12 and rests on the guide rail 14 for its guidance.
  • the guide saddle 24 engages over the guide rail 14 in a known manner, so that it can only be released from the guide rail 14 by a movement in the direction R beyond the guide rail 14.
  • the adjustment mechanism 20 further comprises a fixing means which blocks an adjustment by means of the adjustment arrangement and thus fixes the guide saddle 24 and the parallel stop 12 connected to it in a desired end position relative to the machining tool on the guide rail 14.
  • the fixing means is designed as a fixing lever 26 which, by means of a pivoting movement, brings a rotation of an eccentric (not shown) that is received in the interior of the arrangement into clamping engagement with the guide rail 14.
  • alternative configurations of the fixing means are also conceivable, for example in the form of a clamping screw which, by turning, causes a direct or indirect clamping on the guide rail 14.
  • the adjusting arrangement comprises an adjusting wheel 22 which is rotatably mounted in the guide saddle 24.
  • the guide saddle 24 has a recess 28 through which a user can touch part of the lateral surface 22a of the setting wheel 22 and by touching it can cause a rotary movement of the setting wheel 22 about its axis of rotation 22b.
  • the setting wheel 22 is rubberized on its outer circumferential surface 22a and is located opposite the housing surface of the saddle 24 as well as that facing the guide rail 14 Surface of the rip fence 12 (see in particular Figure 3B ). In this way, manual actuation by the user is facilitated and the setting wheel 22 is in contact with the guide rail 14.
  • a variant, not shown, as an alternative to the embodiment shown in the figures, consists in providing two adjusting wheels 22 on the left and right of the parallel stop 12 in order to enable the guide saddle 24 to be supported on both sides of the guide rail 14.
  • the adjusting wheel 22 not only takes on the function of an adjusting means of the adjusting arrangement and an actuating means of the adjusting arrangement but also of a bearing means for the guide saddle 24.
  • the fixing lever 26 is released by pivoting in a first step. Subsequently, in a further step, the rip fence can be brought into the desired coarse position directly, i.e. by manually adjusting the rip fence, or indirectly by adjusting the rip fence 12 using the adjusting wheel 22. In a further step, the desired fine adjustment can be made by means of the setting wheel 22, the scale ruler 30 provided for this purpose being able to be used. If the desired end position has now been reached, it is sufficient to pivot the fixing lever 26 back again in order to fix the rip fence 12.
