THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE INVENTION AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE USED.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a machining fixture used during manufacturing operations. In particular, the invention relates to a safe and user-friendly machining fixture.' More particularly, the invention relates to a machining fixture for accelerate back spot facing, back chamfering and back counter boring operations of the work pieces.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A spot face or back spot face is a machined feature in which a certain region (a spot) of the work piece is faced for providing a smooth, flat and accurately located surface. This is especially relevant on cast or forged work pieces, wherein the smooth, flat and accurately located surface of the spot face stands in distinction to the surrounding surface, the roughness, flatness, and location of which are subject to much wider tolerances and thus not assured with a precise level of machining. The most common application of spot facing is while facing an area around the bolt hole, where the head of the bolt sits. This is often accomplished by cutting a shallow counter bore, just deep enough "to clean up", i.e. only that much material is removed to remove any irregularity and to make a flat surface.
Some other common applications of spot facing include: facing a pad on a boss, creating planar surfaces in known locations which can orient a casting or forging in position in the assembly or allowing part marking, such as stamping or nameplate riveting; or even offering machine-finish visual appeal in spots, without any need for finishing all over (FAO).
Prior Art
US4710070 A discloses a device in back spot facing tools of the kind comprising a spindle 11, at one front end portion 12 of which, at least one wing 14 is arranged in a recess 13 and pivotaJly mounted parallel with and eccentrically with respect to the spindle about an axle 15, 16. The wing is at the rotation of the spindle arranged to pivot from an inactive position within the circumference of the spindle to an active position outside it. It is at the part of the wing located outside of the spindle provided with at least one cutting edge and/or a cutter 17. The pivoted part of the wing 14 outside the spindle 12 is at least at its one preferably its front end surface 21 designed with an inclined ramp 22, which in the extended position of the wing, has its maximum height, as seen in the axial direction of the wing, in a portion located closest to the circumference of the spindle 12 and is arranged to incline towards the externa!, curved envelope surface 23 of the wing. The transition section 29 of the ramp 22 in the envelope surface 23 of the wing is slightly chamfered, so that at the insertion of the spindle in a boring 20 of a work piece 19, the portion of the wing 14 which during the rotation is pivoted outwards is in contact with the hole edge 27 of the boring and is pivoted to the inactive position at the continued displacement in the boring.
US3381579 A discloses a self-powered tool for spot facing the far side of a work piece including an axially movable motor-driven pilot shaft adapted to have a tool demountably secured to its outer end, a piston for retracting the shaft, a casing with an adjustable foot-piece tp bear against the near side of the work, and an adjustable stop means for limiting the stroke of the piston.
US3827821 A pertains to a back spot facing tool whose cutting blade is pivotally . mounted on a spindle body and is axially actuated by a plunger rod so as to be moved to either a cutting or a concealed condition in response to either a manual manipulation or to a hydraulic actuation of this rod. The back spot facing cutting blade is mounted with its retaining pivot point offset so that one side of the blade in a cutting condition extends a greater distance from the spindle body causing a greater pressure to be exerted on this blade cutting portion than on the opposite side blade cutting portion. The blade portion developing the greater pressure is supported by an adjustable set screw which is adjusted to provide means to establish the exact face angle of back spot face cutting desired by the tool. A precise grinding fixture is also disclosed and carries the blade at a determined condition to its support surface so as to establish the desired cutting blade angles.
US3017791 A relates to improvements in tools used for debarring, chamfering, back spot facing, grooving and similar operations. It discloses a device comprising a pilot adapted to be inserted into a hole in a piece of work and rotated therein, a cutter normally occupying a recess in the pilot and rotatabie therewith, means engageable with the work for holding the cutter against longitudinal movement relatively thereto, means for' moving the pilot longitudinally relatively to the cutter, and mutually engaging means between the -.. cutter and the pilot located closely adjacent the cutting edge of the cutter for moving the cutter laterally relatively to the pilot so as to project the cutting edge therefrom into engagement with the work.
JPS60259302 A discloses a rod 16 is press-moved by the cooperation of an operating ring 17, lead ring 18, and a slidable pin 15, through the revolution of a tapered shank 49 by the main shaft of a drilling machine, and a slidable rod 25 moves in slidable ways leftward in a guide bar 23, and the tapered surface 24 at the top edge contacts with the tapered groove 27 of a cutting tool 28. When the slidable rod 25 shifts further leftward, the cutting tool 28 shifts leftward against a cutting-tool pressing elastic body 32, and the cutting tool 28 is advanced to the work A side by the operation of the tapered surface 24 and a tapered groove 27, and set onto the back spot-facing surface on the work A. With such constitution, the vibration of the cutting tool due to the impact during cutting can be prevented.
GB2399781 A discloses a method for machining a flat area in a surface surrounding an aperture through a work piece, where the surface is located at the rear of the work piece, includes a machine tool comprising a shaft 7 adapted to be mounted to a mechanism for rotating the tool about a longitudinal axis 11 and a tip 9 having a cutting edge 10 extending outwardly from the axis, inclined to the axis by an acute angle, and facing towards the rear face of the work piece when the tool is inserted through the aperture. The method comprises the steps of: inserting the tool through the hole; rotating the tool about its longitudinal axis; tilting the longitudinal axis of the tool through the acute angle so as to engage the cutting edge with the rear face of the work piece; recessing the longitudinal axis of the tool around the hole so that the longitudinal axis describes the surface of a cone, whereby the cutting edge cuts a flat region in the rear face of the work piece around the periphery of the hole; returning the axis of the tool to substantially normal to the said flat region; stopping rotation of the tool about its longitudinal axis; and extracting the tool from the work piece.
All above patents disclose different arrangement for the back spot facing tools, however none discloses a fixture for safe and accelerated back spot facing, back chamfering and back counter boring operation for work pieces being machined. Back spot facing means that the tool reaches the far side of the work piece away
from the driving spindle side and cuts back towards the spindle. Such operations
can be done with the help of following options:
a) Back spot facing with boring bar, wherein boring bar reaches through a
hole while kept off-center, then brought to center for spot facing.
Disadvantages:
1. Requires a large hole to spot face diameter ratio.
2. Higher cycle time.
3. No practicable on conventional machines.
b) Back-deburring type tools (e.g. automatic back spot facing tool), the cutting
edges of which open and close like an umbrella or a check-valve.
Disadvantages:
1. Inefficient on hard and large work pieces.
2. Efficiency decreases with increase in hole to spot face ratio.
3. Costly as compared to all other processes.
c) Inverted spot face cutter and tapered/straight shank pilots.
Disadvantages:
1. Restricted to conventional machines.
2. Requires higher cycle time as compared to other processes.
3. Needs human intervention, thereby making the process hazardous.
However, this process is highly useful for heavy and hard work pieces. Moreover, it efficiently works at higher hole to spot face ratio, and therefore, it is the cheapest solution.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONVENTIONAL PROCESS
As indicated above, the conventional inverted spot face cutter with tapered/straight shank pilot is most suitable for large and hard equipment industry having conventional Radial drilling machines, where other methods are difficult , to carry out. An inverted spot face cutter (Figure 1A) along with tapered/straight shank pilot (Figure 1B) is employed in accordance with the present invention and this cutter is retained by a solid shoulder on the pilot (Figure 1C). For the removal of this cutter, it is necessary to return the cutter backward on the pilot by a small distance, thereby detaching it from the pilot. According to the presently used method, the operator does not use hand gloves at all to avoid his hand gloves from getting trapped between high speed rotating cutter and work piece. This also causes serious safety concerns because the operator has to handle very hot cutter using his naked hands.
Normally back spot facing is preferred when there is no possibility of carrying out normal spot facing operation. In most of such situations, the regions to be back spot faced are inaccessible to operator's hands. Due to this inaccessibility of such machining locations, there is an alarming increase in human injuries. This
manual back spot facing operation also causes extreme fatigue to the operator and slows down the production process as well. In order to overcome this safety and concerns of slow production, the production department has to use auxiliary machines, which also lead to higher production costs.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Accordingly, the' present invention provides a machining fixture for back spot facing, which makes this process not only safe but also user-friendly. Since this machining fixture ensures the operator's safety, the production of back spot faced work pieces is accelerated.
According to the present invention, a back spot facing tool holding fixture is configured such that the cutter throughout is held during the back spot facing operation and therefore, completely eliminates any human intervention during this machining process.
Therefore, the safety afforded to the back spot facing machine operator by the use of the machining fixture in accordance with the present invention automatically results in a reduced cycle time as well and avoids any need for auxiliary machines necessary until now, discussed above.

Here, the cutter holder 10 for holding the inverted back spot facing cutter shown in Figure 1A is clearly visible. A through hole provided on the guide plate 20 on top is used for guiding the pilot, for engaging the cutter and for facilitating downward and upward movement of the inverted spot facing cutter to carry out back spot facing operation on the work piece. The inner wall of the supporting plate 30 is made to closely touch the face of the work piece to be spot faced. This way, any direct contact of the operator's hand with the cutter becoming hot after the back spot facing operation is safely avoided. This enhances the safety during the back spot facing operation. Moreover, because of this enhanced safety, the operator is more confident of the operation and thus, in a position to conduct back spot facing operation at much
higher rate, thereby also increasing the production of back spot faced work pieces.
Fig. 3 shows the perspective view of another machining fixture for back spot facing in accordance with the present invention to accommodate a plurality of inverted spot facing cutters shown in Figure 1A. In particular, the machining fixture of Figure 3 includes four holes for passing through four respective tapered shank pilots on the guide plate 20 and four numbers of cutter holders 10 for holding or accommodating four respective inverted spot facing cutters. This multi-cutter configuration of the machining fixture facilitates in increasing the speed of the back spot facing operation. In another configuration, a number of such machining fixtures used together in specific layout, e.g. two such machining fixtures may be used for back spot facing a plurality of work pieces, which fixtures may be placed opposite each other. Therefore, multiple back spot facing operations can be done by the operator in one single run. This configuration also . substantially increases the production of the back spot faced work pieces.

Working Principle of the invention
In principle, the machining fixture in accordance with the invention can be made of any light weight material. Preferably, a synthetic material, polymer or hard plastic material is used for making the same. Accordingly, the present invention provides a machining fixture, which makes this process not only non-hazardous but also user-friendly. Figure 3 shows a machining fixture to hold the spot facing cutter throughout the back spot facing operation, which results in complete elimination of any human intervention during this operation. This novel machining fixture also automatically results in reduced cycle time and eliminates . conventionally required auxiliary machines. At least one cutter holder pocket 10 is made, which is joined to the guide plate 20 with the help of the supporting plate 30. An adequate chamfer along with a counter bore is provided in each cutter holder pocket for holding a respective inverted back spot facing cutter after conclusion of the back spot facing operation in a proper position.
Other alternate design can also be used adopted in place of this chamfer, e.g. radius or fillets. A concentric hole is also provided in to each pocket to allow extended entry of a respective tapered or straight shank pilot. This cutter holder can be made in any shape to suit work piece and it also can be arrayed for multiple back spot facing operation requirement as shown in Figure 3. Guide
plate 20 helps to rest the machining fixture on the work piece and to facilitate the entry of the guide tapered or straight shank pilot in the machining fixture. Guide plate 20 is configured bulky in comparison to the cutter holder 10 and the supporting plate 30, so that the overall center of gravity of the machining fixture shifts upwards, which results in self-balanced nature of the machining fixture on the work piece. Supporting plate 30 basically links the guide plate 20 and the cutter holder 10. The dimensions of supporting plate can be varied according to the work piece to be back spot faced.
For adequate support of the machining fixture on the work piece, two dowels are also provided to hold and align the cutter in a proper position. For further improving the operational effectiveness the machining fixture, it is made in cast nylon for making this much lighter. There are further alternative materials like plastic, carbon fiber, etc. in which this machining fixture can be made. The machining fixture is cast in a single body, which provides rigidity. However, the machining fixture can also be made in separate pieces according to the work piece to be back spot faced, which can be assembled at the time of operation.
Technical Advantages & Economic Significance
1. Hazardous back spot facing operation is converted into a user friendly and safe back spot facing operation.
2. Cycle time for back spot facing operation is greatly reduced, which in turn results in increasing the production of work pieces with back spot faced profiles.
3. Auxiliary radial drilling machine currently required for spot facing operation is totally eliminated.
4. Uses a very simple arrangement requiring no special purpose machine, thereby providing huge capital cost savings.
5. Enhances the confidence of the operator by providing greater safety during the back spot facing operation, which was very hazardous until now.
