ABSTRACT:
A cam controlled contour turning, facing, and boring machine tool having a frame on which a first slide is mounted for reciprocable movements along a generally horizontal path and a second slide mounted on the first slide for movements with the latter and for lateral movements relative to the first slide either normal to or at an inclination of less than 90.degree. to the path of movement on the first slide. On the frame is mounted supporting means for one or more workpieces and on the second slide is mounted tooling engageable with the workpieces. The movements of the slides are effected by two cams, one of which controls the movements of the first slide and the other of which controls the movements of the second slide, the cams being rotated simultaneously by driving means mounted on the first slide. Rigid motion transmission means acts between the first slide and its cam to ensure movements of the first slide in accordance with variations in the contour of the cam, and second motion transmitting means acts between the second slide and its cam for the same purpose. The cams are removable and replaceable through the rear of the machine frame to enable substitution of one set of cams for another without requiring removal or adjustment of either slide or of the tooling.
