ABSTRACT:
The cutting tool for machining valve seats comprises a driving system, a machining head, a pilot, a depth gauge, and a system controller. The driving system provides rotational movement and vertical movement for the machining head which is controlled by the system controller. The machining head further comprises a pinion feed driving assembly and a universal cutting blade. The pinion feed driving assembly causes the cutting radius of the cutting tool to decrease as the machining head rotates. The pilot is attached to the bottom of the machining head to provide a means for centering the cutting tool. The depth gauge is disposed on the driving system and is electrically connected to the system controller. The depth gauge measures the distance between a valve seat and the cutting blade. The system controller includes memory and programming for controlling the operation of the cutting tool. An operator can input the parameters that define the geometry of the valve seat profile. These parameters are used by the system controller to determine the rotational speed and the vertical feed of the machine spindle. The method for machining valve seats comprises four steps. First, a cylinder head is secured beneath the cutting tool and a valve seat is centered using the fixed pilot of the cutting tool. Second, the vertical feed rate of the machine spindle, the length of the vertical displacement of the spindle to machine the segment, and the number of rotations needed to machine a segment of the valve seat profile are calculated by the system controller from input parameters of the valve seat profile. Third, the system controller adjusts the vertical feed rate to cut each segment according to the desired valve seat profile. Fourth, the system controller returns the cutting blade to its original position.
