Publication number: 20250262674Abstract: A modular boring head includes a tubular main body having a slot, a movable rod engaging the tubular main body, a leadscrew disposed within the tubular main body and a compact click mechanism mounted to the leadscrew. The click mechanism includes a spur gear and an elastic latch element that acts as a bidirectional ratchet disposed radially outward with respect to the spur gear. During operation, rotation of the leadscrew causes the elastic latch element to move in an axial direction, D, within the slot and also causes the bidirectional ratchet or elastic latch element to cooperatively engage the spur gear in such a manner so as to produce an audible and tactile click, each click being indicative of a distance that the movable rod is displaced in the axial direction, D, with respect to the tubular main body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2024Publication date: August 21, 2025Applicant: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Marcelo Euripedes da Silva, Ruy Frota de Souza Filho, Patrick Kuhlemann, Eduard Ach, Ingo Grillenberger

Patent number: 11998995Abstract: A modular boring head includes a tubular main body having an internal thread with a first pitch and a pair of axially extending cantilevered members. A movable rod engages the tubular main body such that the movable rod is movable with respect to the tubular main body in an axial direction, D. The movable rod has an internal thread with a second pitch different than the first pitch. A leadscrew is disposed within the tubular main body and has a plurality of gear teeth. Rotation of the leadscrew causes the pair of axially extending cantilevered members of the tubular main body to cooperatively engage with the plurality of gear teeth of the leadscrew in such a manner so as to produce an audible and tactile click, each click being indicative of a distance the movable rod is displaced with respect to the tubular main body.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Marcelo Euripedes da Silva, Ruy Frota de Souza Filho, Michael Hacker, Horst Jaeger, Eduard Ach, Norbert Baumer

Publication number: 20230405685Abstract: A rotary cutting tool (10) has an axis of rotation (R) and a tool body (12) extending along the axis of rotation (R) and having at least one coolant channel (30). At least a portion (32) of the at least one coolant channel (30) is formed by a groove (40) in a circumferential face (42) of the tool body (12). Furthermore, the at least one coolant channel (30) in the portion (32) of the groove (40) is closed in the radial direction by an add-on part of the rotary cutting tool (10) attached to the tool body (12). Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a rotary cutting tool (10) is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Eduard Ach, Horst Jaeger, Patrick Kuhlemann

Patent number: 10646936Abstract: A machining tool, in particular a drill carrier tool, includes a monolithic base body extending in the axial direction which, at least in one section, has a porous or grid-like core structure that is encased in a solid outer jacket. These measures allow less material to be used, while maintaining good mechanical properties. The porous or grid-like core structure is simultaneously used for transporting coolant. The base body is manufactured in particular by means of a 3D printing method.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Eduard Ach, Christoph Gey

Patent number: 10369636Abstract: A machining tool, in the area of a tool tip, includes an integrated cooling structure for transporting a coolant. The cooling structure is optionally or in combination designed as a porous structure or at least one cooling channel having a bent reversing segment, so that two channel segments are oriented in opposite directions. The cooling structure is integrated into a base body of a carrier tool. According to a method of the invention, the cooling structure is manufactured by means of a 3D printing method.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Eduard Ach, Christoph Gey

Patent number: 9895751Abstract: The cutting tool (1), especially drill or milling cutter, comprises a base (3) which extends in an axial direction (2) and has an outer shell (14) with at least one interior recess (18) that extends in the axial direction (2), a supporting structure (16) having at least one separating piece (26) which separates a plurality of recesses (18) from each other being formed in the supporting structure. The cutting tool (1) is particularly a solid hard-metal tool. The supporting structure (16) ensures an efficient use of material.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Eduard Ach, Juergen Schwaegerl

Patent number: 9724765Abstract: The rotating tool, in particular a drill, includes a fluted cutting shank made of a resistant material, in particular carbide, extending in an axial direction along a rotational axis. Connecting to the cutting shank in the axial direction is an intermediate shank made of a material of greater elasticity in comparison the resistant material, in particular of tool steel. The intermediate shank includes an insertable cutting insert that may be exchanged. The cutting shank is preferably a cutting shank recycled from a used solid carbide drill.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Eduard Ach, Horst Manfred Jäger, Fabian Rosenberger
