ABSTRACT:
Adjustable machining apparatus for machining a cylindrical workpiece, such as an electrical generator rotor or stator. The apparatus includes a spindle for holding a cutting tool, which spindle in turn is engaged by a motor for rotating the spindle and cutting tool. Attached to the spindle is a swivel for pivoting the spindle about a pivot point laying on a first axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece. A first translation mechanism is attached to the swivel for moving the swivel along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. A second translation mechanism is connected to the first translation mechanism for moving the first translation mechanism along a third axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece. A third translation mechanism is connected to the second translation mechanism for moving the second translation mechanism along a fourth axis paralle to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece. The apparatus is removably attachable to the workpiece, such as by electromagnets. Thus, the apparatus is removably attachable to the workpiece and operable to provide four degrees of freedom of movement to the cutting tool.
