Abstract
Abstract A testing machine for bevel gears and hyperboloidal gears comprising a machine bed upon which there are displaceably arranged two headstocks each having a work spindle, and a manually actuatable device for displacing at least one headstock. The testing machine can be used as a lapping machine by the addition of a first automatic device for displacing at least one headstock, by the addition of a second automatic device for displacing at least one work spindle in its axial direction and by disconnecting the manually actuatable headstock displacing device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A machine for testing bevel and hyperboloidal gears comprising: a machine bed; a carriage displacebly mounted on said machine bed; two headstock beds, each having a rear wall and two endwalls; two headstocks, each headstock being displaceably mounted on one of said headstock beds, said headstocks with their headstock beds being constructed as identical components defining a first component interchangeable with a second component, the headstock bed of said first component being mounted with the rear wall thereof at the machine bed, the headstock bed of said second component being mounted with an endwall thereof at said carriage; and manually actuable means for displacing said headstocks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A machine for testing bevel and hyperboloidal gears comprising: a machine bed; a carriage displacebly mounted on said machine bed; two headstock beds, each having a rear wall and two endwalls; two headstocks, each headstock being displaceably mounted on one of said headstock beds, said headstocks with their headstock beds being constructed as identical components defining a first component interchangeable with a second component, the headstock bed of said first component being mounted with the rear wall thereof at the machine bed, the headstock bed of said second component being mounted with an endwall thereof at said carriage; and manually actuable means for displacing said headstocks.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
119 words
The machine according to claim 1, including means for adapting said machine for use as a lapping machine, said means comprising an automatic device for displacing one of said headstocks on its associated headstock bed, said automatic device including: a cylinder secured in an easily disconnectable manner at said one headstock; a piston arranged in said cylinder; a piston rod connected with the piston and secured via an attachment member in an easily disconnectable manner at said associated headstock bed; a control valve secured to a block which in turn is attached in an easily disconnectable manner at said one headstock; fluid conduit connections and fluid conduits connecting said control valve with said cylinder in an easily disconnectable manner.
