  • Patent number: 8240961
    Abstract: A tool holder 1 has a shaft 2 intended to be arranged in a tool holder in a manufacturing machine, a head 3 on which a cutter is intended to be arranged and a vibration-damping material 4 arranged between, and attached to, the shaft 2 and the head 3 such that the cutter is in contact with the manufacturing machine solely through the vibration-damping material 4, where the vibration-damping material is a metal or an alloy of metals selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ti, Zn, Al and Ni. A method for manufacturing a tool holder in which the surface covering of vibration-damping material is created by electrochemical pulse plating through the tool holder, when functioning as an electrode, being lowered into an electrolyte containing ions of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ti, Zn, Al and Ni.

  • Patent number: 6758638
    Abstract: A method and holding device for locking an insert into a tool are used in metal removal machining. The tool includes an insert (2) with a upper contact surface or section (4) and a lower contact surface of section (6) and a holder (8) in which the insert (2) is arranged. The holder includes a holder body (10) and a clamping device (12). The holder body has a lower contact surface or section (14). The insert is arranged in the holder such that the upper contact surface or section (4) of the insert is brought into contact and interaction with a bottom surface (16) of a clamping device while the lower contact surface or section (6) of the insert is brought into contact and interaction with the lower contact surface or section (14) of the holder.
