  • Publication number: 20090324349
    Abstract: A turning tool including a basic body having an insert seat, an indexable turning insert having a triangular basic shape, and a tightening element fixing the turning insert in the insert seat. The insert includes an upperside and an underside between which three side surfaces extend that are situated in a first imaginary, equilateral triangle and therefore converge in pairs at an angle of 60° toward corners in which cutting edges are included. The turning insert is engaged with the insert seat via an interface that includes elongate and straight, female-like and male-like engagement members, which are in engagement with each other in order to prevent turning of the turning insert. The insert seat includes a supporting surface having a corner section against which an active corner of the turning insert is applied.

  • Patent number: 7637701
    Abstract: A tool and a cutting insert for chip removing machining, such as milling, turning or the like. The cutting insert includes a chip-removing main edge, which is separated from a center of the cutting insert and from which a clearance surface extends toward a transition to an underside in the form of a connecting surface, in which an elongate engagement means, e.g., a ridge, is included, which is situated nearer the transition than the center of the cutting insert, and includes a flank having the purpose of transferring cutting forces in the direction transverse to the length extension of the ridge. The ridge is the only active engagement means of an imaginary triangle between the center of the cutting insert and opposite ends of the transition, besides which the flank has a cross section-wise convex shape. In such a way, the active edge of the cutting insert is located in a desired exact position in relation to the tool, even if the cutting insert is impaired by minor form defects.

  • Patent number: 7634343
    Abstract: A method and system for stopping an unmanned mine vehicle in a predetermined position. The mine vehicle is driven at a low speed towards a physical. When the mine vehicle encounters the obstacle (7, 7a, 7b), a speed difference greater than a predetermined limit value is generated between the speed of the mine vehicle and the driving power transmission. The control system of the mine vehicle detects the exceeding of the limit value and stops the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7621388
    Abstract: A roll and a roll spring, where spring is in the form of a ring-shaped body manufactured of an elastic material having two axially spaced-apart ends. In a front end of the spring body, at least one first slot opens which extends towards the rear end, without reaching the same, and which separates two forward-facing laminae. In the rear end, at least one second slot opens which extends towards the front end without reaching the same, and which separates two rearward-facing laminae. At each one of the two ends of the spring body, an end surface of a lamina is axially displaced in relation to the end surface of an adjacent lamina. When the spring is clamped between two rings of a roll shaft included in the roll, the protruding end surfaces are subjected to compressive forces that generate a labyrinth-shaped train of spring forces between the end surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20090285646
    Abstract: A milling insert, including an upperside, an underside, and a reference plane parallel to the upperside and the underside. A plurality of indexable cutting edges are formed along a peripheral borderline in transitions between at least the upperside and a number of clearance surfaces. Each cutting edge includes a chip-removing main edge and a surface-wiping secondary edge, the secondary edge forming an obtuse angle with the main edge as viewed in planar view from the upperside. The main edge, from a first end of the main edge adjacent to the secondary edge, first declines toward the underside of the milling insert and then, from a lowest part, rises toward an opposite second end of the main edge. The secondary edge is inclined at an angle (?) in relation to the reference plane as viewed perpendicularly to the clearance surface of the secondary edge, such that a first end of the secondary edge connected to the main edge is situated on a lower level than the opposite, second end of the secondary edge.
