Abstract

The provided method and material-removing tool serve for producing an exact-fit cylindrical bore with a high degree of surface quality and a length that may be a multiple of the diameter from an existing bore with a finishing allowance. In order to reduce the time taken for the finishing by means of a reamer to be performed, it is proposed to use a tool in the form of an impact die, which is formed at the front end with a circular or substantially circular cutting edge, the diameter of which corresponds to the nominal diameter of the bore to be produced, and which tapers from directly behind the cutting edge or behind a front region of a certain length.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for material-removing machining of a cylindrical bore having a length that is a multiple of a diameter of the bore, the method comprising:
providing the cylindrical bore, which cylindrical bore is a pre-processed bore which includes a finishing allowance,
peeling off the finishing allowance to a nominal diameter of a finish-machined bore with an impact die that has at its front end a circular or substantially circular cutting edge and that performs an axial stroke in the direction of the length of the cylindrical bore,
wherein the cylindrical bore is a blind bore, and wherein the impact die is provided with a milling or drilling head attached axially forwardly of the circular or substantially circular cutting edge,
the method further comprising rotating the impact die to prepare a bottom of the blind bore via the milling or drilling head.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising superimposing a rotary motion of the impact die on the axial stroke of the impact die, wherein the ratio of the feed speed of the impact die during the axial stroke to a rotation speed of the impact die during the rotary motion is either constant or varies.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the rotary motion of the impact die superimposed on the axial stroke of the impact die has a rotation speed of at least 1 rpm.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a rotation speed of the rotary motion is at least 2,000 rpm.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the rotation speed is at least 30,000 rpm.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cutting speed during the axial stroke is 5 m/min to 150 m/min.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cutting speed during the axial stroke is 30 to 90 m/min.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cutting speed during the axial stroke for bore diameters of up to 20 mm is 50 to 80 m/min.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein during the axial stroke and a return stroke, friction between the bore wall and the impact die is limited by a taper of the impact die at its front end.

10. The method of claim 1 , characterized in that during the axial stroke, the front end of the impact die is guided on a bore wall behind the cutting edge.

11. The method of claim 2 , wherein the rotary motion of the impact die superimposed on the axial stroke of the impact die produces rifling with a twist in a bore wall.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the rifling has a slope of between 1° and 75°.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the rifling has a slope of between 10° and 15°.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the milling or drill head is less than the diameter of the cutting edge.
