ABSTRACT:
A crankshaft (6) is rotated about its axis (7), and all of its crankpins (28, 29, 30), which each respectively have an eccentricity (e) relative to the axis (7), and all of its main bearing pins (62, 63, 64, 65), which each have non-eccentric cylindrical surfaces, are simultaneously rotary milled by respective first and second allocated rotary milling cutters (34, 35, 36, 70, 71, 72, 73) of a milling cutter set (12). The individual first milling cutters (34, 35, 36) each respectively have an eccentricity (e) corresponding to the eccentricity of the respective crankpin that is to be machined by the respective first milling cutter, while the second milling cutters are non-eccentric circular cutters. The milling cutter set (12) is rotated at the same rotational speed, i.e. with a rotational speed ratio of 1:1, relative to the rotating crankshaft, while simultaneously the milling cutter set is moved in the X-direction toward the crankshaft axis to achieve a feed advance. A rotary milling machine for carrying out the method includes a milling cutter set having the above described first eccentric and second non-eccentric milling cutters, and a drive apparatus for achieving the 1:1 rotation as well as the feed advance motion of the milling cutter set relative to the crankshaft. In this manner, the milling cutters automatically follow the eccentricity of the crankpins, and the non-eccentric rotation of the main bearing pins, without requiring a complicated individual guidance.
