Abstract
Abstract The cross-slide of a turning lathe wherein round workpieces are treated by tools mounted in toolholders movable in the crossslide radially of the work spindle is pivotable in a plane extending at right angles to the work spindle about an axis which is parallel to the axis of the work spindle. The cross-slide is further movable in parallelism with the axis of the work spindle. The apparatus for properly positioning the cross-slide with reference to a round workpiece in the work spindle comprises a first positioning device including caliper which can facilitate adjustment of the cross-slide in a sense to place the cutting edge of a tool in the toolholder of the cross-slide on the axis of the workpiece, and a second positioning device which facilitates movement of the cross-slide to a position in which the cutting edge of the tool in the toolholder on the cross-slide is located at a desired distance from the front end face of the workpiece in the work spindle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
209 words
A setting arrangement, comprising a support; a headstock mounted on said support and including holding means; a stand carried by said support; a setting member supported by said stand and having a cylindrical peripheral surface provided with at least one abutment; a toolholder including a cutting tool having a cutting edge, said toolholder being adapted to be mounted in the holding means of said headstock, said setting member being adjustable with reference to said stand and said stand being adjustable with reference to said support to place said setting member into an adjusting position in which the cutting edge of the tool in the holder mounted in said holding means engages said abutment; and a caliper including a carrier portion adapted to be mounted in the holding means of said headstock upon removal of said toolholder therefrom, a sensing portion mounted on said carrier portion and having two legs making an angle of less than 180*, said sensing portion being movable with reference to said carrier portion to an adjusted position in which said legs thereof engage the peripheral surface of said setting member in said adjusting position of the setting member, and means for holding said sensing portion in said adjusted portion with reference to said carrier portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
209 words
A setting arrangement, comprising a support; a headstock mounted on said support and including holding means; a stand carried by said support; a setting member supported by said stand and having a cylindrical peripheral surface provided with at least one abutment; a toolholder including a cutting tool having a cutting edge, said toolholder being adapted to be mounted in the holding means of said headstock, said setting member being adjustable with reference to said stand and said stand being adjustable with reference to said support to place said setting member into an adjusting position in which the cutting edge of the tool in the holder mounted in said holding means engages said abutment; and a caliper including a carrier portion adapted to be mounted in the holding means of said headstock upon removal of said toolholder therefrom, a sensing portion mounted on said carrier portion and having two legs making an angle of less than 180*, said sensing portion being movable with reference to said carrier portion to an adjusted position in which said legs thereof engage the peripheral surface of said setting member in said adjusting position of the setting member, and means for holding said sensing portion in said adjusted portion with reference to said carrier portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said support comprises a horizontal top surface and said stand includes a vertical upright movable along said top surface, said setting member being movable up and down along and being rotatable with reference to said upright about a horizontal axis, said stand further comprising means for fixing said setting member to said upright in such position of said setting member in which said abutment contacts the cutting edge of the tool of the toolholder which is mounted in the holding means of said headstock.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said setting member comprises two radial abutments located in a common plane diametrically opposite each other with reference to the axis of said setting member and two peripheral notches, each of said notches being flanked by one of said abutments and by a facet making a right angle with the corresponding abutment, said facets extending to the opposite sides of the common plane of said abutments.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said caliper further comprises supporting means supporting said sensing portion for axial movement with reference to said carrier portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 4, wherein said carrier portion is a tube and said supporting means comprises a shank reciprocably received in said carrier portion and supporting said sensing portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 4, wherein said caliper further comprises means for biasing said sensing portion axially of said carrier portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 6, wherein said holding means comprises locking means for fixing said sensing portion in selected axial position with reference to said carrier portion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing portion is movable with reference to said carrier portion in two directions at right angles to each other.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
48 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 8, wherein said caliper further comprises a cheek supported by said carrier portion and supporting said sensing portion for movement in one of said directions, said cheek being movable with reference to said carrier portion in the other of said directions.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
A setting arrangement as defined in claim 8, wherein the legs of said sensing portion remain in a predetermined plane during movement of said sensing portion in said directions.
