ABSTRACT:
A contour head apparatus for effecting a radial adjustment of a cutting edge tool is disclosed. The contouring head apparatus is adapted for use with a numerically controlled spindle and sleeve, the sleeve capable of rotation about a first axis and the spindle capable of longitudinal movement along the first axis. A housing is rotatable about the first axis when driven by the sleeve and is held longitudinally stationary with respect to the first axis. The housing has a longitudinal aperture therethrough coaxial with the first axis allowing access to an outer end of the spindle. A yoke is disposed within the housing and pivotally connected to the housing for pivotal movement between first and second end limits of travel. The yoke is connected to the spindle at a first end and has a second end driven in rotation about the pivotal connection in response to longitudinal movement of the spindle. A slide is connected to a second end of the yoke and is supported by the housing for movement radially with respect to the first axis in response to longitudinal movement of the spindle, while the housing, slide and yoke are rotated about the first axis during rotation of the sleeve. The slide supports the cutting edge tool, preferably through a tool supporting pot.
