Abstract: A balance and runout amount adjustment system for a rotary tool includes a rotary tool constituted of a tool holder mounted on a spindle, a balance determining device configured to obtain outer circumference position data of the rotary tool and to determine a mass balance of the rotary tool based on the outer circumference position data obtained, in the course of rotation of the rotary tool and a runout determining device configured to obtain shape data of the rotary tool and to determine a runout amount of the rotary tool based on the shape data obtained, in the course of rotation of the rotary tool. The rotary tool is configured to be capable of adjustment of the mass balance based on the result of the determination made by the balance determining device and capable also of adjustment of the runout amount based on the result of the determination made by the runout determining device.

Abstract: A cutting tool is rotatable about an axis line, and includes a main body portion, a cutting insert, and a plurality of anti-vibration members. The main body portion has an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface. The cutting insert is attached to at least one of the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface. Each of the plurality of anti-vibration members is provided at the main body portion. Each of the plurality of anti-vibration members includes a weight member composed of a material having a specific gravity larger than a specific gravity of a material of the main body portion.

Abstract: Provided is a misalignment determining device having a size thereof in an axial direction being made short. The misalignment determining device includes a case, a dial gauge, a holder portion, a support portion, a pivotal portion, a lever member, and a slide member. The slide member is placed in contact with a stylus of the dial gauge. While the pivotal portion and the lever member are rotated in synchronism with rotation of the holder portion, a pivot amount of the pivotal portion is transmitted to the slide member via the lever member, and based on an amount of movement of the slide member along an axis direction, the dial gauge determines the pivot amount.

Abstract: A cutting insert has a seating surface, an outer peripheral surface, a top surface, and an attachment hole. The cutting edge includes a curved cutting corner edge portion, a first cutting edge portion, and a second cutting edge portion. The top surface includes a first rake face contiguous to the first cutting edge portion, a second rake face contiguous to the second cutting edge portion, and a third rake face contiguous to the cutting corner edge portion and also contiguous to the first and second rake faces. The third rake face has a first region contiguous to the first rake face and a second region contiguous to the second rake face. The first rake face and the first region each have a rake angle which is a positive angle. The second rake face and the second region each have a rake angle which is a negative angle.

Abstract: Provided is a chuck device that allows appropriate and easy setting of a discharging direction of working fluid. A chuck device configured to be attached to a spindle of a machine tool for gripping a cutting tool, in which inside the chuck device, there are provided a passage in which a working fluid flows and a discharge opening provided at a leading end opening of the passage through which the working fluid is discharged toward to the cutting tool. A discharging direction of the working fluid from the discharge opening is set opposite to a rotational direction of the cutting tool and set with a tilt of an angle calculated by a mathematical formula to a tangential direction of a rotation trajectory of the center of the discharge opening relative to a direction of an axis of the cutting tool.

Abstract: Provided is a holder device that uses a pressure medium suitable for gripping a long and thin grasped object, the device eliminating need for a small-diameter machining for a device body and allowing use of a material suitable for sleeve deformation at a portion where a pressure chamber is formed. A holder device capable of deforming in a radial direction for fastening a grasped object 7 through a function of a pressure medium, includes a device body 2, a sleeve 3 disposed at a leading end of the device body 2 for gripping the grasped object 7, a pressure chamber 8 formed circumferentially in the sleeve 3, and a support portion 9 provided continuously from the device body 2 for forming the pressure chamber 8 together with the sleeve 3.

Abstract: In order to prevent a cutting tool from being detached from the holding device towards a bladed part-side when holding a standard cutting tool in the holding apparatus, a focus was placed on a diameter of a shank of the standard cutting tool which is larger than that of a bladed part-side cylindrical portion. A pressing portion pushes a retaining ring along a slope in a tool inserting hole towards its base end side so that an outer periphery of the retaining ring shrinks and an inner diameter of the retaining ring becomes smaller than the diameter of the shank.

Abstract: An information-holding unit is provided which can minimize increase in cost and which can increase storage capacity as a whole without changing information transferring time. The information-holding unit comprises a plurality of RFID tags with desired specific information stored therein, and a tool holder as a mounting body for mounting these plural RFID tags.

Abstract: The cutting tool insert 1 is in a substantially plate form and of polygonal shape and is provided with a major cutting edge 16A (or 16B) extending from one corner 14A (or 14B) toward the other corner 15A (or 15B). The major cutting edge 16A (or 16B) comprises a first edge line and a second edge line that meet to form an obtuse angle, which causes the area where the first and second edge lines meet to protrude slightly outwards, as viewed from above. The first edge line slopes down towards the second edge line so that the distance with a seat face 11 decreases gradually as viewed from the side, and the first edge line forms an obtuse angle with the second edge line causing the top face area to dip down towards the seat face. The first edge line is shorter than the second edge line.

Abstract: A tool holder is provided which enables the coupling of a tool holder body, regardless of the size of its outside diameter, to a tapered shank, which is hardly influenced by centrifugal force generated at the time of high-speed rotation, and which can cause elastic deformation of the tapered shank effectively. The tool holder comprises the tapered hollow shank mounted on a machine tool spindle and the tool holder body coupled to the tapered shank. The tapered shank and the tool holder body are coupled to each other in the state where a part of the tapered shank is inserted in the tool holder body.
