  • reference character 7 indicates the base of a production machine having ways 12 and a reciprocating head 13, on which is mounted a conventional electric motor 14, gear reduction 15, tool-holding spindle 16, bushing plate carrier 17, and a work-holding fixture 18 in which is mounted a workpiece 19 which is being drilled by the drill bit 20, which rotates with the tool spindle 16. In other types of machines the work may rotate while the tool bit remains stationary.
  • the bushing plate carrier 17 has an opening 23 therein in which is mounted a tool guide bushing 24 in which the tool 20 reciprocates during its normal cycle of operation.
  • the guide bushing 24 is held in position by means of a retainer 25 and a machine screw 26.
  • a combined valve housing and feeler support body 21 is secured by machine screws 22 (FIGS. 2 and 3) to the bushing plate carrier 17.
  • the assembly 21 is preferably made of two parts, comprising a blocklike body 27 and a cover plate 28.
  • the body 27 (FIG. 2) is provided with a rectangular valve chamber 29, an extension 30 of which defines an opening and slideway for a feeler arm 33 integral with a valving element 31 slidable in chamber 29.
  • Arm 33 is movable radially across the path of the drill 20.
  • the valving element and feeler arm are biased away from the drill path by spring 32.
  • the feeler arm 33 Near its free end the feeler arm 33 is provided with a bore 34 through which the tool bit 20 slidably extends during normal operation of the machine so that under normal conditions, when the tool bit 20 is unbroken, its periphery will hold the feeler and valve element 31 against the pressure of the spring 32.
  • Port 35 is illustrated as the air inlet port and 36 as an exhaust port open to the atmosphere ('FIG. 3), although these connections can be reversed where such is more convenient.
  • a third opening 37 communicates with the chamber 29 at the end opposite the feeler arm 33 and serves as a reset air inlet, the purpose of which will appear hereinafter.
  • the ports 35 and 37 are supplied with air under pressure from a suitable source (not shown).
  • the tool bit 20 will reciprocate in the guide bushing 24, and in an antideflection bushing 38 carried by an extension portion 28' of top plate 28.
  • the normal retracted position of the tool bit indicated at X in FIG. 2, only the end of the bit overlaps the feeler. If breakage of the bit occurs, when the portion attached to the spindle 16 is thereafter withdrawn, on the next cycle, there will be nothing to hold the feeler in its normal position, and the feeler and valve will be moved away from the tool by spring 32, unblocking ports 35, 36 and venting the main air supply line 35A connected to port 35.
  • the operator may manually control the head 13 through the control panel (not shown) in such manner as to cause the head 13 to bypass the limit switch 41 which limits the normal full retract position so that the head 13 will move farther back and actuate the switch 42, which in turn actuates the reset air supply, returns the feeler to projected position, and reblocks port 35. in this position the head 13 and the spindle are retracted far enough so the tool may be replaced.
  • the head is again manually operated forwardly to bypass the switch 41 and resume its normal position wherein its switch-actuating shoes 40A, 41A are between and controlled by the limit switches 40 and 41 for automatic cycling.
  • switch 40 When the head has moved forwardly far enough so that the cam 40A strikes, switch 40, the tool bit, if present and unbroken, is in the feeler opening, and so is in position to restrain movement of the feeler.
  • the position of switch 40 corresponds to the full-in position of the tool bit, and it is so connected as not only to reverse the head but also to return the circuit of reset air switch 42 to the air off position and so cut off the reset air supply to port 37.
  • the tool bit then restrains the feeler and the reset limit switch 42 remains inactive and the reset air off until the head is again moved all the way to the rear after another broken tool is encountered or when it is desired to remove a dull tool.
  • FIG. 4 I show a modified form of the device in which the cover plate 28A of the housing 21A is secured to the body 27A by means of one long machine screw 22A, hollow dowel 45, and three short machine screws 228.
  • the long machine screw 22A is threaded into a suitable tapped hole in the bushing plate carrier 17, so that upon removal of the short machine screws 22B, the cover 28A may be pivoted around the long machine screw 22A, so the broken tool may be removed and replaced with another.
  • the device functions in other respects as herein previously described.
  • FIGS. 7-9 Another modified sensing mechanism, shown in FIGS. 7-9, is similarly adapted to be attached to the bushing plate of a machine by machine screws 51, 51 positioned at three of the comers of the rectangular body 54 and a spring-pressed latching and locating pin 52 at the fourth comer, which is one of the corners closest to the bit path.
  • Screws 51, 51 extend through and retain the cover plate 55 as well as serving to attach the assembly to the bushing plate.
  • the screw 51' which is the pivot screw, extends through a hollow dowel 56 which is accurately fitted in the bushing plate and in the bottom of the body 54.
  • the screws 51 are removed, pin 52 is lifted, and the assembly is pivoted around screw 51' and dowel 56.
  • the cover plate 55 similarly extends outwardly across the path of the tool bit where it carries an antidefiection bushing 58 closely overlying the feeler tip 60.
  • the feeler tip 60 is formed as a separate and renewable element removably secured to the feeler stem 64 of the valve element 62.
  • the feeler stem 64 is of reduced diameter and the valve element 62 is formed as a piston which is movable upwardly, as viewed in FIGS. 7 and 8, by resetting air introduced through one of the opposed side ports 68, 69 or cover port 67, the other two of such ports being permanently blocked.
  • cover plate 55 contains an additional port 67 usable in place of the side ports 68, 69, as noted above, and the cover plate is also provided with a port 73 usable, in place of one of the ports 71, 72, as a control air or vent port.
  • FIG. shows in diagrammatic form a preferred control system adapted to be used with the sensing mechanism of FlGS. 7-9.
  • a source of air under pressure delivered by a conduit 75 through suitable filtering an regulating means 76 and 77 is connected through an adjustable pressure regulator 78 and via conduits 79, 80 to a pressure switch 82 which by such pressure is normally held closed to maintain operation of the machine in the normal manner under the control of the electrical master control panel 84.
  • a pressure gauge 81 is preferably provided in the line 79 beyond the regulator 78. Line 80 is also connected to the side port 72 of the sensing unit.
  • the main air supply upstream of the regulator 78 is also connected by a conduit 85 to an air limit valve 86 and a time delay valve 88.
  • the time delay valve is in series with the reset air port 69 of the sensing unit, to which it is connected by a conduit 89.
  • Conduit 85 is connected to a side inlet port 90 of the time delay valve, which port is during normal operation of the machine maintained in communication with conduit 89 and reset air port 69 by the valve 88.
  • the machine is equipped with a cam 92 for actuating the air limit valve 86 at the same time the rear reversing switch corresponding to the switch 41 of the first embodiment is actuated.
  • the valve 86 is held closed by its biasing spring, and the biasing spring of time delay valve 88 therefore maintains the latter valve in the aforementioned position to constantly supply air to the reset port 69 and maintain the sensing tip 60 slightly spaced from the tool bit.
  • valve 86 At each retraction of the slide in normal operation of the machine, the cam 92 opens the normally closed valve 86, which then supplies air through branch lines 94, 95 to one end of the valve spool of valve 88.
  • Valve 88 is thereby immediately shifted to closed position, by air pressure delivered to its right end, as the parts are shown in FIG; 10, interrupting the supply to the reset port 69 and permitting the feeler tip to move into engagement with the tool bit under the influence of the biasing spring 70.
  • the feeler tip Assuming the tool to be unbroken, the feeler tip, by engagement with the tool bit, arrests movement of the valve piston 62 before the latter is moved far enough to unblock the air inlet port 72, and the machine accordingly continues operation, the head reversing and moving forwardly in the normal manner.
  • the normal travel of the tool bit with relation to the work is such that, at full retraction, the tip of the tool bit remains in overlapping relation with respect to the tip of the feeler.
  • the feeler moves across the path of the tool bit far enough to permit the valve piston 62 to unblock ports 71 and 72.
  • the air pressure in line 80 thereupon drops, and the pressure switch 82, being biased to the position to interrupt the circuit to the machine, is actuated to stop the machine. Thereafter the head may be moved back and the tool replaced as described above in connection with the first embodiment.
  • the air pressure delivered via line 85 and the time delay valve to the reset port will be substantially higher than the pressure delivered through regulator 77 to the control line 80 leading to the pressure switch and to the main air inlet port 72 of the sensing unit.
  • the regulated air pressure in the control line may nevertheless be substantial (e.g.: 25-90 p.s.i.) so that the pressure drop when line 80 is vented through the sensing unit will be substantial and actuation of the pressure switch 82 correspondingly positive. Due to the quick dumping of the reset air, the feeler spring may be relatively light, but the actuation of the feeler is rapid. if the pressure differential between the supply and the control line 80 established by the regulator 77 is sufficient the adjustable orifice 78 may be entirely omitted.
  • the cylinder is suitably mounted over the button as by bracket 112, and its piston is biased to the stop position by a spring 114 but normally held off by the main air supply which acts upon the opposite side of the piston, to which it is delivered by a branch line 115 connected to the air supply conduit 80A, and which corresponds to the line 80 shown in FIG. 10.
  • Other parts of this embodiment corresponding to parts of the embodiment last described are designated by like reference characters distinguished by the letter A and will not require detailed redescription. It will be seen that in event of tool breakage and the consequent venting of the pressure in lines 80A and 115 through the sensing unit, the fall of pressure on the left side of the piston 110 permits the spring 114 to stop the machine by depressing the button 105.
  • the plunger 120 moves the valve 121 through its full stroke, which is relatively short, and the plunger is thereafter restrained by the bottoming of the valve as the head and tool bit continue their forward movement.
  • the reset air is conducted from the inlet port 723 through a branch passage 125 to a side port 126 in the valve chamber bore 130.
  • the valve 121 is biased outwardly by a compression spring 128 beneath its inner end.
  • a cross-connecting passage 131 in the valve is aligned with port 126 and with an opposite port 132 which communicates via a branch passage 133 with the space below a valve spool 628 on the inner end of the feeler stern 648.
  • the valve 121 also contains a second cross-connecting passage 134 so spaced from the passage 131 that when the valve is fully depressed, the passage 134 reestablishes communication between passages 125 and 133 to permit resumed conduction of reset air.
  • the rate of travel of the valve 121 is variable by an adjustable needle valve 122 which imparts a controllable dashpot effect to the chamber space beneath valve 121.
  • the stem 64B also acts as a valve which normally blocks communication between inlet port 728 and a vent port 718 in the opposite side of the body.
  • a cross-communication passage 137 in stem 64B is so positioned that if the feeler moves all the way down during the interruption interval, due to the absence of the blocking effect of the tool bit, passage 137 registers with ports 72B-71B, vents the main air supply line connected to port 728 and stops the machine in the manner previously described.
  • FIGS. 15-17 disclose another modified sensing mechanism wherein the feeler tip 60C is attached to an ejectable feeler stem portion 64C which also acts as a piston and as a blocking valve for the main air line connected to the side port 72C.
  • the portion 64C is of circular cross section and together with the feeler tip 60C is also rotatable about its longitudinal axis in the body 54C.
  • the feeler is normally urged against the side of the tool bit by a compression spring 70C behind the stem 64C.
  • a loose chain 144 may connect the sensing tip and stem assembly to the body to prevent loss, as in the construction shown, or these assemblies may be treated as expendable, and a new one substituted whenever a tool breaks.
  • the wall of the stem 64C is provided with an L-shaped slot 145.
  • Pin 148 which also anchors the chain 144 extends into the slot 145.
  • Slot-145 has a straight longitudinal portion extending to the free end of the stem and a short peripheral leg at a position corresponding to full insertion of the feeler assembly. The straight portion of slot 145 is so located that when such part of the slot overengages the pin 148 the feeler tip is perpendicular to the path of the tool bit 20C as required in the normal operative position shown in full lines in FIG.
  • the feeler tip assumes the angular position shown in broken lines in FIG. 17 wherein it is tipped approximately 45. After a tool breakage, the feeler assembly is inserted and turned to such angular position, so that the peripheral leg of the slot overengages pin 148 to prevent the feeler assembly from being immediately blown out of the sensing unit by the control air.
  • the tool advances on the first operative stroke, it strikes the tilted feeler tip, as shown in FIG.
  • a single time delay valve may serve the sensors for all of such bits.
  • only a single plunger and valve 121 will be required for each head.
