  • Patent number: 6540452
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drilling tool for machine tools and to a method for the production thereof. The drilling tool has at least one chip conveyor groove (16) and at least one functional channel (20). In order to produce the body of the drill (10), the wall of a tubular metal blank is simultaneously impinged upon by substantially radially oscillating form-giving forces in several forming sections spread over the periphery, moving in an axial direction along the surface of the blank, whereby at least one chip conveyor groove (16) is shaped and at least one functional channel (20) is formed. When the chip conveyor grooves (16) are formed on at least two interspaced forming sections in a peripheral direction in the wall of the blank (50), the parts of the wall in the area of two opposite-lying chip conveyor grooves (16) come to rest against each other in a sealed manner, defining at least two functional channels (20, 24) on the inner surfaces thereof.

  • Patent number: 6039634
    Abstract: A process finishes the surface of rotationally symmetrical workpieces. The workpiece is pre-machined and hardened with a stock allowance and is then finished in two steps in a device in which it is clamped only once. The largest part of the stock allowance is first cut by a hard turning process and the residue is then ground down to the actual size of the workpiece to be manufactured. The device for performing this process includes a motor-driven workpiece spindle for receiving the workpiece having a spindle head. The workpiece spindle has at least one motor-driven grinding spindle adapted to accept a grinding tool. The grinding spindle generally is axially aligned with the workpiece spindle or the workpiece thereon. The workpiece spindle can be fitted with a lathe tool having a cutting edge for hard turning.

  • Patent number: 5971988
    Abstract: A device for machining of workpieces or objects, comprises an elongated tool which rotates about its longitudinal axis and is provided with a shaft which can be coupled to a drive unit and with a chip-removing head connected to the shaft. In order to ensure that even a very long tool can be used in deep hollows in the workpiece in a stable and vibration-free way, a sleeve positioned between the shaft and the chip-removing head is connected at one end to the chip-removing head so that it cannot slide or rotate. The tool can be clamped in the chuck of a hand-held drive unit, preferably with a suction and flushing device connected in series, and used to suck away chips through the cavity in the sleeve and to pump cooling fluid onto the cutting site.
