摘要:
An collet and lock nut assembly includes a collet for receiving a cutting tool shank and a lock nut for creating a gripping force between the collet and the shank. The collet has a nose portion and a body portion separated by an annular groove. The lock nut has a plurality of retention tabs and a corresponding number of clear portions. The collet and lock nut assembly can be easily assembled by inserting at least one retention tab within the groove of the collet, and then applying pressure to the collet such that the remaining retention tabs of the lock nut are received within the groove of the collet to place the assembly in a locked position. The collet and cutting tool shank can be drawn from the tool holder by applying rotational torque to the lock nut. The collet is easily removed from the lock nut by applying pressure in any circumferential, lateral direction against the collet.

A cutting tool assembly (1) clamping mechanism (5) which secures a cutting insert (3) for performing cutoff, grooving, slotting, and profiling operations. The clamping mechanism (5) has resilient upper and lower clamping jaws (7, 9) for receiving and securing the insert (3). The cutting insert (3) has front and top faces (13, 15) that define a cutting edge (21) at an intersection thereof, a back face (25), and adjacent proximal and distal bottom faces (27, 29) contiguous with said front and back faces (13, 25) that define an angular lower seating portion (30). The lower clamping jaw (9) of the clamping mechanism (5) includes proximal and distal pocket surfaces (59, 67) forming an angularly recessed jaw portion that is complementary in shape to the angular seating portion (30) of the insert (3). The distal pocket surface (67) of the lower clamping jaw (9) is oriented with the proximal pocket surface (59) to form a stop for limiting the extent that the insert (3) may be received between the clamping jaws (7, 9). This orientation further redirects a component of the cutting force (F) on the insert (3) toward the top face (15) thereof in order to wedgingly engage the top face (15) of the insert (3) against the top pocket surface (45) of the upper clamping jaw (9), thereby enhancing the clamping force that the jaws (7, 9) apply to the insert (3).

An apparatus for adapting toolholders (10) which are specifically designed for use with machine tools having quick change tooling systems so that such toolholders may be used with machine tools not equipped with such systems. The apparatus secures to the toolholder shank (45) and provides an intermediate element enabling the toolholder (10) to be secured to such machine tools.

An assembly generally comprises a collet for receiving a cutting tool shank and a lock nut for creating a gripping force between the collet and the cutting tool shank. The collet has a nose and the lock nut has a front face that is substantially flush with the nose. The lock nut further has a fastening element that mates with a fastening element of a coolant sealing ring for attaching the coolant sealing ring to the lock nut so that the coolant sealing ring may be detached from the lock nut.

A rotary cutting tool that is composed of a tool shank with at least one chucking groove or chip flute and one exchangeable cutting insert. At the tip of the shank a recess for accommodating the cutting insert is provided. The tool shank, on its circumference, has a limb with a bearing surface that is inclined relative to the tool axis and that corresponds to a likewise inclined bearing surface on a wing of the cutting insert. The inclination of the bearing surfaces produces an axial force that retains the cutting insert on the tool shank.

A rotary tapered tool holder includes a body or shank including a front contact portion and a rear contact portion. An adapter sleeve is disposed about a portion of the shank. The adapter sleeve includes slits that allow radial expansion and contraction of the adapter sleeve. The adapter sleeve includes an inner surface formed at a first non-zero taper angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the shank, and an outer surface formed at a second non-zero taper angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shank. The second taper angle is different than the first taper angle such that an interference fit between the shank and the inner surface of the adapter sleeve forces the outer surface of the adapter sleeve into positive contact with a tapered bore of a spindle of the rotary tapered tool holder.

An adjustment device comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first and second portions are adjustably engaging one another. The adjustment device has an overall length that is adapted to be adjusted by adjusting the first and second portions relative to one another. The overall length is adapted to be adjusted to vary a distance between the drill motor and the work piece. Another embodiment of the invention comprises a slip fit member and a threaded member opposite the slip fit member. The adjustment device has an overall length that is adjustable to vary a spatial relation between the drill motor and work piece. Yet another embodiment of the invention comprises a drill motor, a support, and an adjustment device. The adjustment device comprises a slip fit member and a threaded member spaced apart from the slip fit member. One of the members is engageable with the drill motor and the other member is engageable with the support. The adjustment device has an overall length that is adjustable to vary the spatial relation between the drill motor and the support.
摘要:
An apparatus is disclosed for releasably holding a toolholder shank having a lockable surface and a releasable surface utilizing an actuating bolt with an associated threaded actuating nut. When the actuating bolt is rotated in a locking direction, the actuating nut is drawn onto the bolt thereby clamping against the lockable surfaces of the toolholder shank. When the actuating bolt is rotated in the releasing direction, a releasing segment acts upon the toolholder thereby ejecting it from the tool support member.
