  • Patent number: 10532439
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for machining work pieces, particularly for sharpening tools with cutters for cutting-machining, such as for example drills, milling tools or the like, the device (10) comprising a monolithic machine block (12) with at least two functional surfaces (14, 16) disposed at an angle with respect to each other, a work piece support arrangement (18) for clamping-in a work piece (38) to be machined, a machining unit (20), on which at least one tool (66, 68, 70) can be attached to machine the work piece (38), and a support (22), on which the machining unit (20) can be displaceably attached, wherein on a first functional surface (14) of the two functional surfaces (14, 16) of the machine block (12) the machine block (12) has at least one first linear guide (24, 26) for guiding a work piece support arrangement (18) along at least one first guide axis (X1), and on the second functional surface (16) of the two functional surfaces (14, 16) of the machine block (12) the machine block h

  • Patent number: 10155286
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a guide bevel on a workpiece, in particular a cutting tool. The workpiece to be machined is clamped in a clamping device which is rotationally driven about a rotational axis, and at least one laser unit is provided. The clamping device and the laser unit can be moved relative to each other by means of at least one CNC-controlled axis. The laser unit is of a type that is suitable for machining the workpiece by removing material. In order to produce the margin, the laser unit and the clamping device are controlled such that the workpiece in the clamping device is continuously rotated about the rotational axis of the clamping device at least by a specified angular amount while the laser unit and the clamping device are moved relative to each other at least by a specified distance in order to remove material from the workpiece so as to produce the guide bevel.
