Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and an apparatus for manufacturing a stepped member are provided. An intermediate portion of a shaft workpiece is radially enlarged while being compressed in an axial direction by applying alternating load to the intermediate portion in a direction intersecting the axial direction in a state in which pressure that compresses the shaft workpiece in the axial direction is applied to both ends of the shaft workpiece. The enlarged intermediate portion of the shaft workpiece is cat in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction so that the shaft workpiece is divided into two stepped members. Each of the stepped members has a shaft portion and a head portion provided at an axial end of the shaft portion, and the head portion has a larger diameter than the shaft portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a stepped member having a shaft portion and a head portion provided at an axial end of the shaft portion, the head portion having a larger diameter than the shaft portion, the method comprising: radially enlarging an intermediate portion of a shaft workpiece while compressing the shaft workpiece in an axial direction of the shaft workpiece, the radially enlarging including applying alternating load to the intermediate portion of the shaft workpiece in a direction intersecting the axial direction in a state in which pressure that compresses the shaft workpiece in the axial direction is applied to both ends of the shaft workpiece; dividing the shaft workpiece into two stepped members, the dividing including cutting the enlarged intermediate portion of the shaft workpiece in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction; and machining outer surfaces of the two stepped members, into which the shaft workpiece has been divided, concurrently by using two outer machining tools, wherein a cycle time of the machining is longer than half of a cycle time of the radially enlarging. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft workpiece has a pipe shape, and wherein the cutting includes cutting the enlarged intermediate portion of the shaft workpiece at a center of the intermediate portion such that the intermediate portion is divided equally with respect to the axial direction.
