SKIVING AND ROLLER BURNISHING TOOL

摘要

Apparatus is disclosed for finishing the inside of hollow work-pieces such as long hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. A rotatable skiving and roller burnishing tool is advanced into one end of the work-piece and advanced through the cylindrical interior of the work-piece. The skiving section is located at the front of the skiving and roller burnishing tool, and the roller burnishing section comprises the rearward section of the tool. The skiving section of the tool has a knife holding portion which holds a skiving knife to skive the interior from a start diameter to a larger, finish diameter. The skiving section also has a plurality of cavities, forward of the knife holding section, which are disposed circumferentially around the skiving section of the tool. A plurality of probe centering location finders are located in the respective cavities. The radial positions of the probe centering location finders are independently adjusted to properly center the skiving and roller burnishing tool as it is advanced through the cylinder.
