Fixturing System For Holding And Aligning Engine Blocks During Rebuilding

US Patent:
6619645, Sep 16, 2003
Filed:
Nov 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/995958
Inventors:
Andrew Craig Rottler - Seattle WA
Donald Brooks Rottler - Seattle WA
Assignee:
Rottler Manufacturing Inc. - Kent WA
International Classification:
B23Q 300
US Classification:
269296, 269289 R, 292811
Abstract:
A fixturing system is provided for rigidly clamping an engine block while precisely orienting the engine block for accurate machining of selected engine surfaces during rebuilding process. The fixturing system is designed to be mounted on a working table to machine and/or inspect a variety of block surfaces. The fixturing system comprises a head stock assembly, tail stock assembly, a support member, and an indexing member. The engine block is placed between the head stock assembly and the tail stock assembly. The support member is inserted through the main bearing crankshaft bore and connects with the head stock assembly and the tail stock assembly to align and rigidly clamp the engine block to the tool table. The engine block may then be rotated to an indexed position by inserting the indexing cam bar through the cam bore and into locating slots in the head stock assembly.

Resurfacing Machine Tool

US Patent:
7726919, Jun 1, 2010
Filed:
Feb 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/344943
Inventors:
Donald Brooks Rottler - Seattle WA, US
Anthony R C Usher - Auburn WA, US
Ranjit (Robin) Chera - Chandigarh, IN
Andrew Rottler - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Rottler Manufacturing Inc. - Kent WA
International Classification:
B23C 5/00, B23C 5/26, B23B 41/12
US Classification:
409234, 409232, 409201, 408 835, 408127, 279 16, 811778, 8117775
Abstract:
A machine tool includes a driver, a tool holder, and a locking device in the form of, for example, an alignment collar. In use, the machine tool carries a tool, such as a surface refinishing bit, which may be lowered into a workpiece bore, such as a cylinder head valve seat, and subsequently rotated by a machine spindle for resurfacing the bore. The machine tool receives a pilot shaft placed in a reference bore associated with the workpiece bore. The pilot shaft functions to ensure general alignment of the machine tool cutting axis and the refinishing surface.

Apparatus And Method For Cutting A Bore Including Automatic System For Retracting The Cutting Tool

US Patent:
6176650, Jan 23, 2001
Filed:
Jul 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/346260
Inventors:
Andrew Rottler - Seattle WA
Donald B. Rottler - Seattle WA
International Classification:
B23B 3500
US Classification:
408 1R
Abstract:
An apparatus for cutting a bore in a device includes a boring assembly having a cutting device coupled to a housing. A control system selectively floats the housing above a mounting surface, thereby allowing the housing and associated cutting device to be moved along the mounting surface to a selected position. The control system also selectively clamps the housing to the support surface and selectively tilts the housing to move the cutting device away from a wall of the bore cut by the cutting device.
