Abstract:
A tool holder comprising a coupling shaft, a shrink chuck and a central member. The shrink chuck has a head and a base, the head having a tensioning portion with a carrier comprising an axial internal bore. The central member is interposed between the coupling shaft and the base. A surface contour connecting the front and rear diameters of the shrink chuck has at least two portions substantially even relative to a diameter course of the contour at the at least two portions. A first portion is disposed on the head and a second portion is disposed on the base, and a transition is interposed between the head and the base. A chuck diameter of the shrink chuck increases in a substantially discontinuous manner at the transition from the first portion to the second portion so that the head is slimmer than the base.
Abstract:
A tool holder is disclosed for a boring, milling or reaming tool that can rotate about an axis of rotation. At the end of its clamping shank that is located on the side of the tool, the tool holder has a bush part with a mounting opening, which is centered with regard to the axis of rotation and which is provided for accommodating a fixing shank of the tool. The mounting opening for a bush part can be radially expanded to a width, which enables the fixing shank to be inserted or removed, particularly by means of eddy currents that are magnetically induced inside the bush part by an induction coil. In addition, the mounting opening can, by cooling, be radially contracted to a width that holds the fixing shank with an interference fit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tool holder for receiving a tool, especially a boring, milling, or grinding tool, which can be rotated about a rotational axis and which comprises a clamping shank. In a preferred form of embodiment, said clamping shank comprises a receiving opening (9) which is centrically arranged in an end socket (7) in relation to the rotational axis, said end socket being closed in an annular manner and said receiving opening being used for the interference fit of a holding shank pertaining to the tool. The end socket (7) contains a plurality of pressure chambers which are distributed in the circumferential direction and which extend at least approximately in the direction of the rotational axis. Said pressure chambers (13) can be connected to a pressure means supply which is especially hydraulic, in order to radially expand the receiving opening (9).
Abstract:
The induction coil of a device that heats a toolholder (1) inductively for the tool change comprises a shielding collar (27) of magnetizable material which, firstly, concentrates the magnetic flux of the induction coil (13) in a sleeve section (5) of the toolholder (1) which holds the shaft (11) of a rotary tool with a press fit and, secondly, shields the part of the tool shaft (11) that projects out of the sleeve extension (5), in order to facilitate unclamping the tool from the toolholder (1). On its side facing the winding (19) of the induction coil (13) axially, the shielding collar (27) has an outer circumferential surface (31) which widens conically away from the sleeve extension (5) and an axial height (h) which is at least 1.5 times the diameter (d) of the tool shaft (11). The shielding collar (27) runs on all sides at a distance from a yoke shell (23) of magnetizable material which encases the winding (19) of the induction coil (13).
Abstract:
A presetting device is proposed for a tool holder (1) which holds the shank (23) of a rotary tool (3) in an interference fit in a locating opening (5) and releases said shank (23) during heating, in particular by means of an induction heating arrangement (7), and which has inside the locating opening (5) an axially adjustable positioning stop surface (21) for the tool shank (23). The presetting device comprises a holder receptacle (11), which holds the tool holder (1) in an axial position and has an opposing reference surface (25), and means (43) for measuring the axial overall length of the rotary tool (3). The presetting device also comprises a measuring device (27) which measures the axial distance between the positioning stop surface (21) of the tool holder (1) and the opposing reference surface (25) of the holder receptacle (11) and has a measured-value indicator (55), the indicated distance value of which can be increased by the measured value of the overall length of the rotary tool (3).
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the problem of compressing biomass, e.g., ripe grain or cereals, into solid pressed bodies 1, which are suitable for use as fuel, despite differences in the harvesting conditions, and whose strength no longer depends on the moisture content in the biomass. It was found that this problem can be solved without an essential expense by imparting a wavy structure 6 to the pressed body 1. As a result, the outer surface of the pressed body 1 is compressed more strongly by the extrusion than is the middle cross section area, in which long-fibered parts of the mass are readily oriented in a wave shape 21 and lead to elasticity of the pressed bodies 1, which is favorable for handling.
Abstract:
The multi-coordinate sensing gauge of the invention comprises a sensing arm 7 displaceable relative to a housing 3 in the direction of a main coordinate axis 5 and guided on the housing 3 to be omnidirectionally pivotable about a first pivot point 19 located on the said main coordinate axis 5 by means of a first universal joint 13. A linkage arm 23 is coaxially connected to the sensing arm 7 and the end of said linkage arm which is away from the first universal joint 13 is omnidirectionally pivotable by a second universal joint 25 about a second pivot point 27 and is connected to a drive element 29. The drive element 29 in turn is guided on the housing 3 so as to be omnidirectionally pivotable about a third pivot point 33 by a third universal joint 31 displaceable along the main coordinate axis 5. The drive element 29 comprises an annular shoulder 51 facing away from the first pivot point 19 and enclosing the main coordinate axis 5 resting against an opposite annular shoulder 45, also enclosing the main coordinate axis 5, of a coupling 41 displaceable inside the housing 3. A dial indicator gaige 11 measures the excursion of the coupling 41. By suitably dimensioning the distances between the pivot points, the radial displacement of the sensing tip 9 of the sensing arm 7 on one hand and the axial displacement of the sensing tip 9 shall result in equally large displacements of the coupling 41.
Abstract:
A clamping apparatus includes a spindle body and a nut element to be screwed together for decreasing a spacing between first and second clamping elements to clamp an object disposed therebetween. The nut element has roller bodies with a defined roller engagement structure axially rotatably secured on a receiving body of the nut element and distributed in circumferential direction. A plurality of engagement regions distributed and/or spaced apart on the spindle body each have one spindle body engagement structure. The roller engagement structures of the roller bodies engage or can engage the spindle body engagement structures of the spindle body. The nut element can be screwed to the spindle body by the mutually engaged engagement structures of the spindle body and of the roller bodies, in particular with rolling of the roller bodies on the spindle body. An apparatus and a vise having the clamping apparatus are also provided.
