  • Patent number: 11701718
    Abstract: A tool unit includes a tool head, a motor and a switching drive for the head. The head has a first section with first blades and a second section with second blades. The second section is movable to and fro between a passive and an active position relative to the first section, the second blades being retracted in the passive position, and the second blades projecting axially beyond the first blades in the active position. The drive includes an electromagnet and an actuating armature made from magnetically attractable material and is arranged in the region of action of the electromagnet. The electromagnet is positioned between the head and the motor and is fastened to a housing part of the motor such that it cannot be rotated. The armature is connected fixedly to the second section. A gap remains between the electromagnet and the armature in the passive and active position.

  • Patent number: 11338376
    Abstract: A tool head is for machining edges of a workpiece and includes a first tool section with first blades and a second tool section with second blades. The second blades are positioned between the first blades when seen in the circumferential direction. The second section is movable relative to the first section in the direction of the longitudinal axis between a passive and active position. The second blades are axially recessed relative to the first blades in the passive position and project axially outwards between the first blades in the active position. The tool head has a pressure switching mechanism for moving the second tool section between the passive and active position. In a tool system, the tool head and an actuation element can be moved axially relative to each other. The at least one actuation surface and the actuation element are configured to be axially pressed towards each other.

  • Patent number: 10537970
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a machine tool for edge machining a workpiece. The machine tool includes a drive unit for a rotary tool, a guide device for guiding the workpiece in a horizontal infeed direction and a chip collecting hood. The guide device includes an upper pressure element and a lower pressure element and one of the pressure elements is settable in the vertical direction relative to the other pressure element and also the drive unit. The chip collecting hood includes a side wall having a cutout for receiving an edge region to be machined of the workpiece. The side wall includes a base wall part and a closure wall part. The base wall part is positioned fixedly relative to the drive unit and the closure wall part is positioned fixedly relative to the pressure element to be settable in the vertical direction. The closure wall part delimits the cutout in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 8974155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machining tool (14) for machining materials by removing material, in particular for wood or wood-like materials, metals, plastics and/or composite materials. The machining tool is provided to be driven in rotation about an axis of rotation (1) and comprises at least one row (17, 18, 19) of individual cutters (2, 2?) arranged in the peripheral direction and having cutting edges (3, 3?) which at least partly overlap. The cutting edges (3, 3?) have a rake angle and are located at an axial angle (?) in relation to the axis of rotation (1). The axial angle (?) lies in a range from 55° to <90° inclusive. The rake angle is >55°.

  • Patent number: 4906147
    Abstract: Various clamping mechanisms are known for clamping shank-like tools such as drills, milling cutters and the like. The known clamping mechanisms often require long setting times involving long idle times when changing tools, particularly on machines with several spindles. The instant disclosure teaches a clamping mechanism allowing rapid tool change on the machine spindles and having good concentricity characteristics. A bayonet catch-like locking device is used for this purpose.

  • Patent number: 4407178
    Abstract: Circular saw blades, especially for separating wood, cutting grooves into wood and the like materials, are disclosed. Such blades include a cutting zone in which there are arranged cutting teeth, which cutting teeth may be equipped with hard metal cutting plates. Next to the cutting zone there is arranged a carrying zone comprising a central receiving opening. The carrying zone is of approximately constant thickness and is provided at least in the region between the receiving opening and the cutting zone with raised portions. The raised portions are arranged to extend generally over the entire radial and circumferential extent of the carrying zone, substantially continuously in sequence to one another, and in respective opposite direction projecting above the pertaining larger side of the carrying zone. The projections can occupy respectively a section between radii located at an angle of from about 15.degree. to about 30.degree..
