  • Patent number: 9802259
    Abstract: A tool system for machining a workpiece is provided having a cylinder-shaped retaining shank that has a cutting head holder on an end surface facing the workpiece, a drive mount on an end surface facing the drive, a cutting head having at least one cutting edge, a cutting head hub corresponding to the cutting head holder on the retaining shank, a tool coupling with a tool interface, and a coupling hub corresponding to the drive mount. The coupling hub or the cutting head hub have elevated areas, with contact surfaces, distributed in circumferential and longitudinal directions of the coupling hub or the cutting head hub. The contact surfaces make contact on support surfaces on the drive mount or on the cutting head holder on the retaining shank. The drive mount or the cutting head holder is permanently connected to the coupling hub or the cutting head hub by a joining material in intermediate spaces between the elevations.

  • Patent number: 9352402
    Abstract: A cutting tool for machining a workpiece. The cutting tool comprises a holder and at least two cutting inserts which are separated from each other by a spacer element. The cutting tool may be used to produce two or more bevels (and/or joints and/or grooves) at precisely defined spacings in only one operation. Through the use of spacer elements of different lengths, it is possible to produce bevels at different spacings. The spacer element preferably has an interface which comprises only radial contact surfaces, which run parallel to a longitudinal axis of the spacer element, and a substantially flat axial contact surface, which runs transverse to the longitudinal axis. The length of the spacer element can therefore be shortened on the rear side of the spacer element without destroying said interface.

  • Patent number: 8721235
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drilling tool with a base, having a central axis of rotation, and a drill bit, detachably connected to the base. The drill bit has a coupling part, which can be coupled with a coupling receptacle on the face of the base and has at least two convexly curved centring portions, which are arranged such that they are distributed over the circumference and engage with an exact fit in complementary concavely curved centring portions of the coupling receptacle. The coupling part has a complementary driver stop, meshing with a rotary driver of the coupling receptacle. It is claimed as novel that the centring portions of the coupling part and/or of the coupling receptacle have clamping surfaces, which run onto each other in the manner of a rotary wedge until the driver stop and the rotary driver come up against each other counter to a predetermined direction of rotation.

  • Patent number: 7396196
    Abstract: A cutting machining tool, especially of a boring bar type, has a holding device (10), one end of which is provided with a fixing shaft while its other end is provided with a seat (12) for a removable cutting member (16). The cutting member encompasses a support part (18) which engages at least partly into the seat (12) in the fixed state and a machining part (20). The support part (18) can be fixed in a clamping manner in the seat (12) by a fastening part (22). The seat (12) is provided with a rest area (28). The cutting member can be securely fixed in the seat across a larger fixing range by a support part due to the fact that the seat (12) includes a delivery area (30) in addition to the rest area (28). The two areas (28, 30) are movable towards or away from each other so as to fasten or remove the cutting member (16) by the fastening part (22). Secure fixing and support is achieved by three planar areas that are located on the outer circumference of the support part.

  • Patent number: 7217068
    Abstract: Tool holder for cutting bodies (5) may be mounted on a base holder (15) by a fixing device (41), and a cooperating stop extending in a plane in the direction of the tool holder. A positive positional fixing against any movement along the three axes of the spatial coordinate system may be obtained. The planar stop is divided into planar sections (19, 21) by a machined recess (23). The recess (23) forms a seat for housing a projecting matching body (25) on the base holder (15). The walls of the recess (23) form planar support surfaces (31, 33) for the matching body (25), which each define differing planes perpendicular to the stop, to resist displacement and torsional forces resulting from the cutting force into the matching body (25) of the base holder (15).

  • Patent number: 7153066
    Abstract: A cutting plate for a processing tool, particularly a milling tool, is connected to a holding device for such a cutting plate. The cutting plate has at least one blade (1) configured in a radially protruding manner on a central body (5) of the cutting plate. The central body (5) is provided with a coupling part for mounting the cutting plate on a frontal seat of a shaft-type holding device (15) which defines a longitudinal axis. The coupling part forms at least one driving surface transmitting an operating torque from the holding device (15) to the cutting plate. The cutting plate also includes a shaped part which forms a fixing device on the seat (17) of the holding device (15) in cooperation with an associated embodiment (35).

  • Patent number: 7150590
    Abstract: A machining tool, especially a milling tool, includes a shaft-like holder defining a longitudinal axis (13). A seat (9) is provided in the front face of the holder for a cutting plate that can be inserted into the holder. The cutting plate has a coupling part for mounting in the seat (9) of the holder. The coupling part has three ribs which project axially from the end surface of the cutting plate that is opposite the holder and which extend radially. The ribs are provided for engagement in complementary grooves (31) configured in the seat (9) of the holder. Their side walls (37 and 35) form driving surfaces and support surfaces, which interact for transmitting a machining torque, or as axial position safety-catch, with corresponding surfaces of the flanks of the ribs of the cutting plate.

  • Patent number: 7059809
    Abstract: A cutting tool, in particular for the turning out of drillings, has a clamping piece (10) for fixing the tool in a clamp holder. The clamping piece (10) includes two clamping surfaces (30), which converge on each other in the direction of the one side (32) of the clamping piece (10). In the direction of the other side (34) of the clamping piece (10), the clamping surfaces extend into a roof-type surface (36). On the side of the clamping piece (10) facing away from the clamp holder, the clamping surfaces connect to a rod-like neck piece (12), which tapers in cross-section relative to the clamping piece (10). The free end of the clamping piece is connected to a cutting piece (14) as one piece, and is provided with a cutting edge (16) on the external end thereof to which a face (18) of the cutting piece (14) connects in the direction of the neck piece (12). A high degree of reinforcement for the neck piece and the cutting piece arranged on its free end with its blade or the blade edge is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6974283
    Abstract: A cutting device includes a holder (10) provided with a jaw-like opening (24) on a clamping head (20) that serves to accommodate a metal-cutting tool (22). The jaw-like opening (24) is located on a longitudinal side (16) of the clamping head (20). A face (28) of the clamping head extends transverse to the longitudinal side (16), and faces a workpiece (30) that rotates during metal-cutting machining. The face (28) is provided, at least in the area in which it leads into the opening (24), with a camber (32) whose curvature corresponds to the curvature of a workpiece (30) having the largest diameter intended to be used with the cutting device.
