摘要:
A cutting insert is clamped in a pocket of a holder by a top clamp assembly which includes a clamp arm screwed to the holder, and a clamp plate interposed between the insert and a front part of the clamp arm. The clamp plate is formed of a harder and more wear-resistant material than the clamp arm and transmits clamping forces from the clamp arm to the cutting insert. The hard clamp plate shields the clamp arm from being impacted by chips generated during a machining operation, thereby minimizing wearing of the clamp arm.
摘要:
A tool for metal cutting comprising a first part, one or several cutting means (8) being detachably mountable on said first part, and an axially opposite male part (9) that is applicable in a seat in a clamping unit, through which a cooling medium for said cutting means (8) may be fed, via a channel, to at least one nozzle (28), through which the cooling medium is allowed to be ejected in direction towards said cutting means. The cooling medium channel communicates with an essentially radially directed hole (15) that emerges in an envelope surface (23) of the male part (9), said hole (15) due to its radial location guaranteeing that cooling medium of extra ordinary high pressure is allowed to be fed in without applying any axial forces worth mention to the tool.
摘要:
A tool assembly having a tool block (50) and a tool holder (12). The tool block has a fluid passage (92) having an outlet (93). A fluid passage (104) in the tool holder shank (14) has an inlet (102) including a shallow recess (99) configured to maintain fluid communication through a range of relative movement of the block and holder. The fluid passage terminates in a discharge orifice (114) to direct a fluid jet at the chip being removed from the workpiece.
摘要:
A toolholder (10) for use in a metalworking operation, with a body (105) extending along a longitudinal axis (110) and a recess (120) extending within the first end (115) of the body. Adjacent an insert pocket (125) adapted to receive a cutting insert (130) in the recess (120) is at least one wall (135) with a portion having a surface with multiple interruptions (142) to form a chip ejection segment (145). The chip ejection segment (145) may be an integral part of the toolholder body (105) or may be a discrete piece removably attached to the toolholder body. A method of imparting to a toolholder (100) such a chip ejection segment (145) is also disclosed.
摘要:
A metal cutting system with a tool holder (1), a shim (3), an insert (10) with a top depression (15), a top piece (18) and a clamp. A rake face cooling channel (21) for fluid delivery is formed between the top piece (18) and the depression (15) in the insert. A primary discharge slot (27) at the end of the rake face cooling channel (21) delivers fluid from below the cutting edge (16) of the insert. A second cooling channel (9) for delivery of fluid to the flank face (12) is formed between the insert (10) and the shim or is formed between the shim (3) and the tool holder (1) with a portion of the cooling channel passing through the shim (3).
摘要:
A metal cutting tool assembly (1) having an automatically adjustable chipbreaker (23) is provided that comprises a cutting insert (11) for cutting a relatively rotating workpiece, a holder (3) for holding the insert (11), an insert driver (5) for applying a cutting force between the insert (11) and the workpiece, a chipbreaker (23) having a surface (27) that is effective in breaking chips (55, 56) of different thicknesses when positioned at different distances from the cutting edge (19) of the insert (11), and a mounting mechanism (30) for movably mounting the chipbreaker (23) onto the holder (3). The mounting mechanism (30) includes a spring (50) for automatically adjusting the distance between the chipbreaking surface (27) of the chipbreaker (23) and the cutting edge (19) of the insert (11) in response to the forces applied to the chipbreaker (23) by the metal chips (55, 56) that result from the cutting operation. The mounting mechanism (30) may allow the chipbreaker (23) to either slidably reciprocate on the holder (3) toward and away from the cutting edge (19), or to pivotally move with respect to the cutting edge (19). In both cases, the deflection of the spring (50) is proportional to the thickness of the metal chips (55, 56) engaging the chipbreaking surface (27), which in turn automatically provides the appropriate chipbreaking geometry. The inventive tool assembly allows the same chipbreaker (23) to effectively break chips (55, 56) of widely varying thicknesses which are created when the cutting insert (11) is used to make a variety of different types of cuts in a machining operation.
摘要:
An indirect cooling system for a rotating cutting tool uses a cryogenic coolant that is delivered to a cavity formed on the back surface of the cutting element, providing cooling near the cutting edge of the element. Because the total flow rate of the working fluid is low (less than 0.08 Liters/min/cutting edge), the fluid can be safely vented to atmosphere from the cavity, and as a result, no specialized coolant recovery or ventilation equipment is needed. The cavity may be formed with fins to enhance the heat transfer between the cutting element and the coolant, and coolant may additionally be sprayed directly onto the exterior surface of the element to cool the tool-chip interface. The indirect cooling system may be used for hard to machine metals and composites, as well as the machining of conventional materials without the use of traditional cutting fluids.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a cutting insert (3) for chip removing machining, the cutting insert (3) comprising an elongate centre part (7), cutting edges (5A, 5B) being arranged at the opposite ends of the centre part (7), the cutting insert (3) being provided with engagement members(10) along two longitudinal, opposite sides, the cutting edges (5A, 5B) forming, in an end view of the cutting insert (3),a mutual angle(α). The invention also relates to a tool, which comprises a cutting insert according to the present invention. Characteristic of the cutting insert according to the present invention is that the rake faces (9A or 9B) associated with the respective cutting edge (5A or 5B) are facing the opposite direction in the vertical direction (H)of the cutting insert (3), and that the mutual angle (α) is in the interval of 10°
