Patent ID: 8419323

Claim:
A method for fine-machining crankshafts ( 23 ) which has at least a first and a last centric bearing ( 35 , 36 ), at least one eccentric bearing ( 48 ), a first end ( 27 ) and an opposite end ( 72 ), comprising the steps of: fine machining in a first machining sequence, the roughly machined or roughly machined and hardened crankshaft ( 23 ), the centric bearings ( 35 , 36 ) and the eccentric bearing ( 48 ) with a geometrically determined cutting edge ( 32 ) of a milling cutting tool ( 30 ) with a single mounting of the crankshaft ( 23 ); and, in a second machining sequence, fine machining the crankshaft whose centric bearings ( 35 , 36 ) and eccentric bearing ( 48 ) have been fine-machined, in a single mounting the ends of the crankshaft ( 23 ) using a geometrically defined cutting edge ( 32 ) of the milling tool ( 30 ) for the fine cutting of the crankshaft surfaces.
