Abstract
An orbital lathe for in situ resurfacing a fifth wheel kingpin, having a pin axis, where the orbital lathe includes a support column generally axially aligned with the pin axis of the kingpin, a cutting tool mounted to the support column for rotation about the pin axis and having a first positioning mechanism for moving the cutting tool at least radially relative to the pin axis, a second positioning mechanism for rotating the cutting tool about a centerline axis generally orthogonal to the pin axis, and a third positioning mechanism for moving the cutting tool parallel to the centerline axis, and a drive mechanism for rotating the cutting tool about the pin axis to cause the cutting tool to remove material from the kingpin. The position of the cutting tool in relation to the centerline axis determines a surface roughness of the kingpin. Another embodiment of the orbital lathe and a method are also disclosed.
