Vibration-Free Machining of Pilgrim Mandrels

摘要

A support collar plate for vibration-free holding of workpiece, i.e., pilgrim mandrel, clamped at both ends and to be processed between its ends by means of a grinding wheel, comprised of a base, arranged fixed in place in respect to the workpiece, and a clamp, which extends around the workpiece on at least two oppositely located sides. The workpiece can be clamped by a clamping force, wherein the clamp extends around the workpiece so that it is possible to perform processing in the area of the clamp on the side facing the grinding wheel, and wherein the clamp is floatingly seated in at least one direction perpendicularly in respect to a longitudinal axis of the workpiece, so that the clamp is self-centering in respect to the workpiece. By means of the floatingly seated clamp, the workpiece is maintained independent of exterior forces which change the spatial position of the workpiece.
