  • Patent number: 9573233
    Abstract: A device for keyway broaching is provided with a housing, a drive shaft, a broaching carriage received and supported in the housing, a tool support connected to the broaching carriage, and a crank drive that couples the drive shaft and the broaching carriage with each other. The broaching carriage, when driven by the drive shaft, performs an oscillating movement comprising a cutting movement and a return stroke. A sleeve is arranged between the housing and the broaching carriage. A first seal is provided between the housing and the sleeve and/or between the sleeve and the broaching carriage. The tool support is connected to the broaching carriage with a rocking lever interposed between the tool support and the broaching carriage. The drive shaft has a control section that controls a relative movement between the rocking lever and the broaching carriage.

  • Publication number: 20110023276
    Abstract: A tool support for a machine tool has a clamping surface. A positioning device for a tool holder is provided that is positioned at the clamping surface. The positioning device has at least one conical element wherein a longitudinal axis of the conical element extends orthogonally to the clamping surface. The conical element is a conical bore or a conical pin. The tool holder is equipped with complementary conical elements so that a positive-locking, precise positioning of the tool holder relative to the receiving bore in the tool support is ensured.

  • Publication number: 20100308546
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding tools (13) on machine tools, comprising a tool receptacle (1) and a tool holder (6). Clamping elements (4) are used for fixing the two parts. According to the invention, the device is configured in such a way that both the tool holder (6) of a first type and the tool holder (6) of a second type can be adapted. The tool holders (6) of the first type meet the HSK standard while the tool holders (6) of the second type, for the purpose of shortening the length, do not have any receptacle (11) for a clamping system as it is required for tool holders (6) of the first type.

  • Patent number: 7147410
    Abstract: A tool head for securing a tool in a machine tool has a stationary spindle bearing housing, a spindle rotatably supported in the spindle bearing housing, and a modular tool changing insert for receiving a tool. The tool changing insert is exchangeably arranged on the spindle or a holder. An internal cooling medium supply device supplies a cooling medium directly from the spindle bearing housing into the tool changing insert. The cooling medium supply device preferably supplies the cooling medium laterally into the tool changing insert via an auxiliary housing.
