摘要： A toolholder for holding a cutting insert having an axial hole is disclosed having a pocket therein for seating of the insert and a hole in the toolholder extending transversely through the bottom of the pocket. A pin having a head for engaging the insert and a pivotal shoe member cooperate in the hole such that, as the rotatable pin is tightened, the shoe member forces the head of the pin to tilt toward a side wall of the pocket and clamp the insert to the toolholder.

摘要： A tool holder assembly includes a tool holder with a shank and a key slot having a surface with an angled portion that forms a non-zero angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the tool holder assembly. A clamping mechanism includes a support block, a ball canister including a key, and a lock rod. An interference fit key arrangement is provided between the tool holder and the clamping mechanism by an abutment surface located along the first side wall of the key. The abutment surface contacts the angular portion of the key slot to cause the key slot to undergo elastic deformation and allow simultaneous contact between the abutment surface and the angular portion of the key slot and the second side wall of the key and the second surface of the key slot, thereby providing for an interference fit key arrangement between the tool holder and the clamping mechanism when the tool holder assembly is placed in the locked position.

摘要： A tool holder (20) comprises a body portion (32), a support member assembly (33) mounted to the body portion and an insert-receiving cartridge (36) removably received in the support member. The insert-receiving cartridge (36) includes a pocket (38) for mounting a cutting insert (40) thereon. The support member assembly (33) includes a bore and the insert-receiving cartridge (36) includes a shank capable of being received in the bore. The combination of the insert-receiving cartridge (36) and the cutting insert (40) forms a cutting tool for a particular cutting operation. In one embodiment, the cutting tools are radially mounted to a side periphery of the body portion (32) such that the vertical axis of the cutting tool is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the toolholder (20).

摘要： An apparatus and method for clamping an insert in a tool holder includes a recess and a clamp pin with a lever portion having a curved surface at each end thereof. The recess includes an angled wall for engaging one of the curved surfaces of the lever portion. A wedge portion is disposed within the recess and operatively coupled to a lock screw such that rotation of the lock screw causes movement of the wedge portion in a first direction. A biasing force is applied to the lever portion to cause the clamp pin to move in a second direction that is different than the first direction. The wedge portion includes one or more angled walls for engaging one of the curved surfaces of the lever portion. Movement of the wedge portion in the first direction causes the angled wall of the recess to act as a cam surface to cause the clamp pin to pivot about a pivot point, P, located along a central axis of the clamp pin.

摘要： A quick-change tool holder includes a center-height adjustment mechanism for adjusting the center height of the cutting tool. The quick-change tool holder includes a tool support member which is adapted to be mounted on a lathe turret or mounting block of a machine, a cutting head formed with a seat for receiving a cutting tool, and a clamping mechanism for clamping the cutting head to the support member. The tool support member includes an axial bore which receives a tubular shank of the cutting unit. The clamping mechanism is disposed within the axial bore and includes a pair of radially expandable locking elements to engage the tubular shank of the cutting unit. The clamping mechanism includes a key which engages with a corresponding keyway on the tubular shank for angularly locating the cutting unit. An adjustment mechanism is provided for rotating the clamping means about a longitudinal axis of the support member to change the angular location of the cutting unit. The center height of the cutting tool is determined by the angular location of the cutting unit.

摘要： A clamping assembly for releasably holding a tool holder having a shank includes a tool support member having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis. A locking mechanism is disposed in the axial bore for securing the tool holder to the support member. The locking mechanism includes a lock rod having first and second contact surfaces mounted in the support member. The lock rod moves along the longitudinal axis between a locked position and a release position. A wedge rod is mounted in the support member for reciprocal movement along an axis angularly disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis. The wedge rod has first and second wedge surfaces which incline in parallel fashion from opposite edges of the wedge rod. First and second force transmitting elements are interposed between the wedge surfaces of the wedge body and the contact surfaces of the lock rod. When the lock rod is moved in first direction, the first force transmitting element is moved outward with respect to the transverse axis into contact with the first support surface and pushes the lock rod towards a locked position. When the wedge rod is moved in a second direction, the second force transmitting element is moved outward with respect to the transverse axis into engagement with the second contact surface of the lock rod and moves the lock rod towards a release position.
