  • the invention relates to a control arrangement for a nosepiece of a work tool and a method for working of a workpiece using a work tool, according to the appended claims.
  • a reliable and repeatable hole quality may be essential, for instance in structurally important, load bearing, aerospace applications.
  • the hole quality may depend on type of work tool, such as a hole making apparatus, type and quality of the cutting tool, process parameters, tool wear and type of material in which the hole is pro- cuted.
  • Such a special hole making apparatus may use the twist drill technique where the cutting tool rotates around its own axis while axially being fed through the material.
  • the twist drilling method may also be vibration assisted where the feeding motion fluctuates somewhat in the axial direction with a chosen frequency and ampli- tude.
  • Such a special hole making apparatus may also use the orbital drilling tech- nique.
  • Orbital drilling is based on machining the material both axially and radially by rotating the cutting tool about its own axis as well as eccentrically about a principal axis while feeding the cutting tool through the material.

  • the X-axis shows the extraction/position of the moveable rod 114. Furthest to the right on the X-axis, the rod 114 is in a fully extracted position where no force F by the control arrangement 100 is acting on the clamping sleeve 22 and the clamping sleeve 22 is thus in a normal first position where it is not extended.
  • A is the length of the first link element 122/the second link element 124
  • B is the height of the triangle and thus the distance between the first joint J1 and the im- aginary line crossing the first fixed point FP1 and the second joint J2
  • C is the length of the base of the right-angled triangle, the base being half the length of the imaginary line 2C extending between the first fixed point FP1 and the second joint J2. From this expression, it is given that the length C is dependent of the height B. Since the height B changes depending on the movement of the moveable rod 114, the dif- ference in length between A and C will also change depending on the movement of the moveable rod 114.
  • A is the length of the first link element 122/the second link element 124; B is the height of the triangle and thus the distance between the first joint J1 and the im- aginary line crossing the first fixed point FP1 and the second joint J2; D is the length of the second leverage arm and E is the length of the first leverage arm of the fourth link element 130.

  • the work tool 1 thus comprises a nosepiece 20 com- prising a clamping sleeve 22 configured for fixating the work tool 1 relative guide openings 8 in a template 6 by exerting a clamp force between the nosepiece 20 and an interior wall 54 of the respective guide opening 8.
  • the work tool 1 further corn- prises a control arrangement 100 for the nosepiece 20 as disclosed in figure 2a, 2b or 3.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un agencement de commande (100) destiné à un embout (20) d'un outil de travail (1), l'agencement de commande (100) comprenant : un dispositif actionneur (110); et un agencement de liaison (120) relié au dispositif actionneur (110), l'agencement de liaison (120) comprenant un premier ensemble de liaison (120') avec une pluralité d'éléments de liaison, reliés à un manchon de serrage (22) de l'embout (20), de sorte que le mouvement du dispositif actionneur (110) dans une direction axiale entraîne un déplacement du manchon de serrage (22) dans une direction axiale, le premier ensemble de liaisons (120') comprenant un premier élément de liaison (122) et un second élément de liaison (124) reliés de manière pivotante l'un à l'autre au niveau d'une première articulation (J1) formant une articulation de genou, le premier élément de liaison (122) étant en outre relié de façon pivotante à un premier point fixe (FP1) sur l'outil de travail (1), la première articulation (J1) entre le premier élément de liaison (122) et le second élément de liaison (124) étant reliée au dispositif actionneur (110), de sorte qu'un mouvement linéaire de la première articulation (J1) traverse la direction axiale du dispositif actionneur (110).
