Abstract:
A screw-in tool and a tool holder for such a screw-in tool. The screw-in tool contains a tool head and a tool shank having an outer thread and a supporting region arranged between the tool head and the outer thread. The supporting region is formed by two conical bearing faces having different cone angles.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a material-removing machine tool, in particular a deep-hole drilling machine or lathe, having a workpiece holder (14) to holding a workpiece (30), a tool holder (16), a rotary drive (18), by means of which the tool holder (16) can be rotated relative to the workpiece holder (14), an adapter (20) which has a base (20) which is rotationally fixedly connected to the tool holder (16) and has a drive side facing the tool holder (16) and an output side facing away from the tool holder (16), an anti-rotation device (42) for preventing drill head (22) and adapter (20) from rotating relative to each other and a central, continuous channel (44), through which chips can be transported away counter to a machining direction (B) of the drill head (22), and a drill head (22) which is rotationally fixedly connected to the adapter (20). According to the invention, the drill head (22) has a drill head thread (48) and a tapered shaft (50), and the adapter (20) has a union nut (34) which is rotatably fixed to the base (20) and an adapter thread (36) to interact with the drill head thread (48), and a tapered bore (38) to receive the tapered shaft (50).
Abstract:
The tool shank contains a taper member, a flange member, a holder member, a clamped member, and a number of slits. The taper member has a conic shape extended along an axial direction with a top section and a bottom section. The flange member is beneath the bottom section of the taper member. The holder member is extended downward from a bottom side of the flange member along the axial direction. The clamped member is extended upward from the top section of the taper member. The slits are configured at intervals around the bottom section surrounding the axial direction. Each slit defines a slightly outwardly bulge. The bulges increase the contact area with and avoid gaps to a tapered socket of a spindle. As such, the tool shank is tightly jointed to the spindle during high-speed rotation without causing vibration and damage.
Abstract:
A balancing or measuring device has a main body which rotates about an axis of rotation and includes an opening for accommodating a coupling shaft of a rotor, and includes a centering element for centering the rotor in the opening. The centering element includes at least one support zone which rests against the coupling shaft and is resilient in the radial direction.
Abstract:
A retention knob for use with a tool holder that is less prone to distorting a tapered tool holder surface, especially if it is over-tightened. The retention knob includes a knob head, a flange engageable with an end of a tool holder shank, a pilot segment receivable by the counter bore defined by said tool holder shank and a threaded segment spaced from said flange by an undercut segment. The threaded segment is configured so that it has a length that is substantially the minimum length required to achieve maximum thread holding strength. The undercut segment is configured to space the threaded segment from its head so that a distal end of the threaded segment is substantially near the bottom of the tapered bore forming part of the tool holder.
Abstract:
A device and method for measuring the clamping force a machine tool exerts on a tool holder that includes a piston or cylinder body defining a bore that slidably receives a piston. A fluid filled pressure chamber is defined between the piston and the body and a pressure gauge carried by the piston communicates with the pressure chamber such that movement in the piston in at least one direction exerts compressive forces on the fluid in the pressure chamber which is communicated to the pressure gauge. A retention knob is coupled to the piston and is engageable by the machine tool such that the clamping force exerted by the machine tool is transmitted to the piston. Hex-shaped structure on the piston that is received by a complementally formed recess in the cylinder body inhibits relative rotation between the piston and the body and facilitates installation and removal of the retention knob. A pin forming part of the piston is engageable by a pin receiving recess in the piston body and ensures a predetermined orientation between a shank portion and the piston body, during assembly.
Abstract:
A clamping tool includes a holder, a connector and a tool. The holder has a rearwardly tapering bore and a holder thread having a first pitch. The connector has a cylindrical shape and a connector through bore. The connector further has a first connector thread having a pitch similar to the first pitch, and a second connector thread having a second pitch that is different from the first pitch. The tool has a rearwardly tapering rear portion and a tool thread having a pitch similar to the second pitch. In an assembled position, the rearwardly tapering rear portion of the tool abuts the rearwardly tapering bore of the holder, the holder thread is threadingly engaged with the first connector thread, and the tool thread is threadingly engaged with the second connector thread.

Abstract:
A tool holder, in particular for a measuring sensor, with an interface to a spindle of a machine tool is proposed. The tool holder comprises, as seen from the interface for the spindle, a material portion which differs from the customary basic material of a tool holder in a lower coefficient of linear expansion α and/or in a lower heat conductivity λ. According to the invention, the material portion affords thermal decoupling between the tool-side portion of the tool holder and a tool received therein from the tool spindle for reducing a length change on account of an introduction of heat coming from a comparatively hot tool spindle.
Abstract:
A tool holder for use in a rotating spindle of a milling machine. The tool holder comprises a conically tapered shank portion for insertion into the spindle and a cutting tool mounting portion. Disposed between the shank and mounting portions is a flange portion. The flange portion includes a continuous channel formed therein which circumvents the shank portion and is adapted to accommodate a dampening member. The dampening member is compressable between the flange portion and the spindle when the tool holder is inserted into the spindle, and is adapted to eliminate harmonic resonance attributable to the use of the tool holder with a cutting tool.
