Abstract:
The present invention is a rotary head tool that is a self-propelled rotary tool (SPRT) operable for round cutting involving hard turning. The rotary head tool comprises generally a toolholder, a tool that is removably or fixedly connectable to the toolholder, and an insert that that incorporates a cutting edge fittable into the tool. The toolholder is formed to hold the tool with the insert therein at a particular angle. Elements of the rotary head tool of the present invention, such as the insert, may be "off the shelf elements and consequently the present invention may be produced at a low cost. Embodiments of the present invention are designed so that the rotary head tool provides economical benefits and affordability for the user and to provide performance benefits of SPRTs.
Abstract:
A cutting insert rotated about its axis may be utilized during a metalworking operation and applied against the rotating workpiece to enhance tool performance. A method, including an assembly with a rotatable insert mounted to a toolholder may be utilized to achieve this result.
Abstract:
A tool holding system (200) has a tool holder (202) including a seat (208) and a clamping device (210) having a clamping end (212) aligned with a surface (214) of the seat (208), a shim (204) mounted in the seat (208) of the tool holder (202) and including a receiving surface (218) oriented to open toward the clamping end (212) of the clamping device (210), and a cutting insert (206) mounted in contact with the receiving surface (218). The cutting insert (206) has a plurality of cutting edges (220) arranged around a periphery of a first face (222) and a plurality of radially oriented features (224) on a mating face (226) in contact with the receiving surface (218). The receiving surface (218) has corresponding features to that of the mating face (226) of the cutting insert (206). A radius containing one of the plurality of radially oriented features (224) forms an acute angle, an obtuse angle or a right angle to a radius containing a second of the plurality of radially oriented features (224).
Abstract:
A cutting insert (100) rotated about its axis (105) may be utilized during a metalworking operation and applied against the rotating workpiece (10) to enhance tool performance. A method, including an assembly with a rotatable insert (100) mounted to a toolholder (50) may be utilized to achieve this result.
Abstract:
A rotatable seat (112) for mounting a cutting insert (114) of a machine tool that has a clamp for holding the insert securely in place during the machining operations. The seat has a substantially cylindrical body that includes a longitudinally extending throughbore (115) through which a mounting pin or bolt is inserted and press fit into a corresponding bore (118) in a rigid base. This retains the seat in place, while allowing rotational repositioning of the seat to any desired orientation when it is not clamped down, thereby rotating the cutting insert to the selected angular orientation to the base to extend its useful life.
Abstract:
A modular cutting tool assembly includes a tool holder having at least one insert receiving pocket, and at least two cutting inserts interchangeably receivable within the pocket. The pocket has a first lateral support surface forming an angle theta with a second lateral support surface as measured in a plane perpendicular to the pocket axis. Each of the cutting inserts has a peripheral flank surface configured to provide a number of abutment features appropriately angled for positioning in abutment with the lateral support surfaces. The peripheral flank surface of one cutting insert is further configured to provide at least two cutting points having a first nose angle, and the peripheral flank surface of the other cutting insert is further configured to provide at least two cutting points having a second nose angle different from the first nose angle.
Abstract:
Полезная модель относится к области обработки материалов резанием и может быть использована для обработки винтовых поверхностей методом ротационного точения, полезная модель решает задачу расширения технологических возможностей режущего инструмента при ротационном точении. Опорная поверхность через центральное ступенчатое цилиндрическое отверстие прижимается к ответной поверхности вала ротационного режущего инструмента, в процессе резания режущая кромка удаляет обрабатываемый материал и при этом непрерывно вращается под действием силы резания вследствие наличия угла наклона режущей кромки, криволинейная форма боковой поверхности позволяет получать меньшие размеры профиля фасонной поверхности и расширяет диапазон типоразмеров продукции, верхняя поверхность, благодаря наличию канавки, обеспечивает лучший отвод стружки, что улучшает процесс резания при обработке труднообрабатываемых материалов.
Abstract:
A round cutting insert (10, 100, 200) includes a bottom surface (16), a clearance side surface (14) and a top surface (12). The top surface (12) includes a chip control feature in the form of a continuous, circumferential depression (30, 30') formed by a substantially planar bottom surface (30a, 30a') and a pair of upward sloping substantially planar side walls (30b, 30b', 30c, 30c') that form an angle with respect to the top surface (12). The chip control feature may also include a plurality of radially offset bumps (102, 104, 106) located in the depression (30, 30'). The bumps (102, 104, 106) may have the same size and shape, or may have a different size and shape. The top surface (12) also includes an elevated island (24) having one or more indexing marks (26) for easy indexing of the cutting insert.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a milling and/or lathe tool (1) for machining workpieces, comprising at least one circular reversible plate (2) which is mounted on the tool (1) so as to be freely rotatable about an axis (Y), is provided with a cutting edge (21) that is rotationally symmetrical to said axis (Y), and is moved, by means of the cutting edge (21) thereof, relative to a surface of the workpiece that is to be machined. The reversible plate (2) is also provided with a supporting element (3) that encompasses a shaft stub (31) which extends coaxial to the axis (Y) and is rotatably guided within a bore (13) in the tool (1).
