Abstract
Abstract Arrangement for working internal rotational surfaces of metal parts in a cylindrical cavity in a blind bore or in a throughgoing opening having a high slenderness ratio. For working, the arrangement uses an electrode connected to the negative pole of a source of burning electrical impulses, the positive pole of such source being conductively connected with the worked metal part. The electrode is fixed conductively on a supporting tube which is arranged rotatably and eccentrically in a cylindrical hollow space from which it is insulated. In the course of the working operation the electrode or the workpiece rotates, and the electrode performs an axial advance relative to the workpiece.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
An arrangement for working internal rotational surfaces of a metal part having a cylindrical opening or in a cylindrical through-going opening having a high slenderness ratio, comprising a working electrode connected to the negative pole of a source of burning electrical impulses, the positive pole of which is conductively connected with the metal part, and cylindrical guiding sleeve having a bore therethrough, a supporting tube and an electrode, the electrode being fixed conductively on the supporting tube, said tube being arranged rotatably and eccentrically in the cylindrical guiding sleeve from which it is insulated, the external diameter of the sleeve corresponding to the internal diameter of the cylindrical opening of the metal part, the cross-section of the electrode when the electrode is in its position for insertion in the opening of the metal part at the maximum corresponding to the diameter of the bore through the cylindrical guiding sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
An arrangement for working internal rotational surfaces of a metal part having a cylindrical opening or in a cylindrical through-going opening having a high slenderness ratio, comprising a working electrode connected to the negative pole of a source of burning electrical impulses, the positive pole of which is conductively connected with the metal part, and cylindrical guiding sleeve having a bore therethrough, a supporting tube and an electrode, the electrode being fixed conductively on the supporting tube, said tube being arranged rotatably and eccentrically in the cylindrical guiding sleeve from which it is insulated, the external diameter of the sleeve corresponding to the internal diameter of the cylindrical opening of the metal part, the cross-section of the electrode when the electrode is in its position for insertion in the opening of the metal part at the maximum corresponding to the diameter of the bore through the cylindrical guiding sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
An arrangement as in claim 1, wherein the insulation between the cylindrical guiding sleeve and the supporting tube is provided by an insulating filling of the cylindrical guiding sleeve, and the supporting tube in such filling is rotatably arranged.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
An arrangement as in claim 2, wherein a channel for the discharge of burned products of the working operation is provided in the insulating filling.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
An arrangement as in claim 1, comprising a drive for the supporting tube, such drive providing a rotational microadvance of the electrode, and a working drive for rotating the workpiece relative to the electrode.
