  • An object of this invention is to-provide an improved form of hydraulic transmission capable of more efficiently translating a movable member, such for example as the toolhead of a multiple spindle drilling machine, than have prior constructions.
  • This object has been attained by the provision of duplicate hydraulic power transmitting devices acting upon opposite sides of the tool-head in the direction of the length of the guide- Ways therefor.
  • An important feature of this invention resides in the particular location of the hydraulic transmitting devices and the points at which the power is applied to the tool-head to efiect its translation. lln certain prior machine tools power to translate the tool-heads has been applied in line with the geometric centers of the heads. In others it has been applied back of the geometric center at a point between the guideways. I have found, however, by careful observation and experiment that better results are obtained by applying the translating power to the head at opposite sides thereof and approximatcly midway between the geometric'center and the back of the head where it engages the guideways.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved control mechanism for the hydraulic transmission, whereby movement of the tool-head may be initiated and thereafter it will ,continue through a predetermined cycle and finally come to rest after having completed an operation on the work.
  • This improved control includes an automati cally actuated master valve adapted'to control the rate and direction of movement of the tool-head.
  • a valve of this nature In prior machines it has been customary to provide a valve of this nature and manually to set the valve initially (in opposltion to a valve-shifting spring) through the action of a suitable lever. Then during the cycle of the machine the valve was, at certain times, released and permitted to move, under the influence of the spring, to
  • This invention proposes to efiect the initial setting of the valve, and also its subsequent movement, by. fluid pressure, whereby the use of levers and springs for this pur ose is obviated.
  • to efi'ect initial setting of the master valve and thereafter a complete cycle of the machine it is proposed to efiect the initial setting of the valve, and also its subsequent movement, by. fluid pressure, whereby the use of levers and springs for this pur ose is obviated.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved safety control for the machine whereby in any emergency, such for example as the breaking of a tool, the operator readily may cause the machine immediately to discontinue its cycle of operation and to return the head to its initial inoperative position.
  • lhis object has been attained by the provision of a fiuid controlled emergency release for withdrawing certain valve retaining members, later to be described, which causes the valve to be moved to a position wherein it efi'ects withdrawal of the tool-head.
  • A. push button (controlling the release) is supported adjacent the starter button and is more readily accessible than the latter whereby, in case of emergency, the operatorqui'ckly may press the emergency stop button without danger of confusion. This relative accessibility of the starter button and the emergency stop button is one of the features cfif this invention.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide an improved hydraulic transmission and a hydraulic control therefor and to provide a single fluid pressure system embodied in the machine to provide fluid pressure for vide an improved lever mechanism adapted selectivel to effect either operation or inoperation o the machine.
  • This object has been attainedthrough the provisionof an improved construction including a manually actuable lever accessible to the operator (and suitable cooperating mechanism) which, when moved in one direction, will shift the master valve to start hydraulic translation of the head and which when shifted in another direction Will actuate the emergency release, thereby to cause the head to be retracted from the work and brought to rest.

  • the head and the tools carried therewithdrawn from the workand inasmuch as this is an idle movement it also may be effected at a relatively rapid'rate.
  • the rate and direction of movement of the tool-head is controlled by the action of an automatically actuated master valve V (see Figs. 1, 3 and 8) which serves to direct fluid under pressure from the pressure line 29, extending from the exhaust port of the pump, either to the upper end of the cylinders through a main conduit 30 having branch lines 31 and 32 connected with the cylinders 17 and 18 respectively, or to the lower ends of the cylinders through a conduit 33 and suitable branch lines, not shown.

  • the -master valve is designed and actuated first to transmit to the conduit 30, through abranch 34, a relatively large volume of fluid and then, through a branch 35, a relatively small volume of fluid.
  • the pump P draws fluid, preferably oil, from a sump S, supported upon the column at the foot thereof, through an intake pipe 36 and exhausts it under pressure through a pressure line 29 connected with the master valve V and also with certain valve controlling mechanism later to be described.
  • the master valve V is shifted automatically during the operation of the machine to vary the rate and direction of movement of the tool-head in accordance with the nature of the operation being performed.
  • the master valve V comprises a casing 37 provided with an intake port 38 with which the pressure line 29 is connected.
  • This casing also provides ports 39, 40 and 41 connected respectively with the rapid traverse down conduit 34, the slow feed conduit 35 and the rapid traverse up conduit 33.
  • Fluid underpressure entering the d valve casing. 37 through the port 38 is intermittently admitted to the ports 38, 39 and 40 by movement of a piston valve 42 slidingly fitted within a cylindrical bore 37 formed in the casing 37 and provided intermediate its ends with a reducedportion 4200 which interference members as now will be described.

  • the upper end of the rod 43 (as shown in Fig. 3) is provided with a differential piston 49 slidingly fitted within a cylinder 50 supported by the bracket 48. Fluid pressure is transmitted to the cylinder 50 at that end of the piston having the lesser area, by a pipe 51 connected with the pressure line 29, thereby permanently maintaining fluid pressure on the piston 49 and normally tending to move the rod 43 and valve 42 in the direction indicated by the arrow t. This movement, however, is prevented at certain times by the'interference members 45 and 46 normally maintained in the path of movement of the collar 44 by expansile springs 45 and 46 each having one end acting on its respective member and its opposite end on a plate 52 supported by the housing 47.
