Abstract

The invention relates to an orbital apparatus (20) for machining of a revolution metallic wall, of the type comprising a fixed annular plate (30) coaxially mounted on a universal support and having a peripheral annular electric collector (35) and an annular plate (50) rotationally mobile and coaxially mounted on the fixed annular plate (30). The mobile annular plate (50) carries a set of electrical contacts (55) cooperating with the electrical collector (35), means (60) for rotationally driving the plate (50), means (70) for machining the metallic wall and pneumatic feeder means (80) to apply and maintain the machining means (70) on the metallic wall.
