Abstract: A damper includes at least one substantially longitudinal damping body with two end surfaces and one substantially longitudinal surface between. The damping body is placed in a substantially longitudinal cavity, which includes a cavity surface, with a damping fluid that includes a liquid and a gas. At least one of the cavity surface, end surfaces or longitudinal surface is broken, and the damping body can pulsate in the cavity when the damper is in operation.

Abstract: A system with a container (1) and a tool holder (20) having two ends (21, 22). One of the ends of the tool holder is adapted to be secured to a machine tool and the other end is adapted for attaching a cutting edge or a cutting edge carrying unit. The tool holder includes an internal cavity (23) surrounded by a cavity wall. The cavity accommodates the container. One end of the cavity is adapted for connection to a supply for a cooling medium and the other end is connected to an outlet for cooling medium. The cavity furthermore includes an opening (25) for installation of the container. At least one gap for leading the cooling medium is formed between the container and the cavity wall. The container can be installed in a machine tool, and the container can be used to accommodate one or several sensors for measuring parameters or for receiving a damping system.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for fixing a cutting head to an adapter for a machine tool. The cutting head includes a first linear flange, a second linear flange substantially parallel to the first linear flange and a unit for holding a cutting bit. A holding jaw is provided for being fixed to the adapter and for engagement with at least one of the linear flanges on the cutting head, and a clamping device for clamping the at least one holding jaw between the at least one flange of the cutting head and the adapter. At least one further clamping device is connected to the adapter for engagement with the second or the linear flanges. Furthermore a cutting head and an adapter is defined.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a damper for damping vibrations. The damper includes at least one substantially longitudinal damping body (1) with two end surfaces (21, 22) and one substantially longitudinal surface (20) between these. The damping body (1) includes a longitudinal direction (a) and a transversal direction (t) and is places in a substantially longitudinal cavity (15) with a damping fluid, wherein the cavity (15) defines at least one cavity surface (14) and the damping body (1) defines at least one damping surface. The damping fluid includes a proportion of liquid and a proportion of gas and either the cavity surface (14) or the damping body surface or both are broken to promote formation of foam in the damping fluid in operation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a damping apparatus for the damping of vibrations in tool holders, machine elements and work pieces in machine tools and in other objects that are exposed to unwanted vibrations. The damping apparatus is adapted to be provided in or on the object and includes a substantially cylindrically shaped damping body with a boring going there through and a longitudinal central body that is rigidly connectable to the object that is to be damped. The damping body is connected to the longitudinal central body through elastic elements. The connection is made such that the elastic elements are substantially exposed to shear forces during damping.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for fixing a cutting head (1) to an adapter (2) for a machine tool. The cutting head (1) includes a first linear flange (9), a second linear flange substantially parallel to the first linear flange (9) and means for holding a cutting bit. A holding jaw (4) is provided for being fixed to the adapter (2) and for engagement with at least one of the linear flanges (9) on the cutting head (1), and a clamping device (7) for clamping the at least one holding jaw (4) between the at least one flange (9) of the cutting head (1) and the adapter (2). At least one further clamping device is connected to the adapter (2) for engagement with the second or the linear flanges. Furthermore a cutting head and an adapter is defined.
