Publication number: 20090256318Abstract: A device for coupling two parts includes a first part having a cylindrical adapting journal and a radial flat surface which limits the adapting journal by the base thereof and being radially protruded, and a second part having a receiving sleeve with a cylindrical internal surface. A clamping device, during clamping, enables the adapting journal to be inserted into the receiving sleeve and to be pressed thereto between the flat surface and a front surface. In order to guarantee an exact centering of the parts with the aid of simple means, the inventive receiving sleeve is provided with a lower conical part diverging from the internal cylindrical surface towards the front surface and the adapting journal is provided with an elastically deformable centering ring which is arranged at the level of the base and is provided with an external conical part complementary to the lower conical part.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2006Publication date: October 15, 2009Inventor: Gerhard Stolz

Patent number: 6123489Abstract: A drilling tool includes a tool head having at least one chip groove and a tool shank. A slotted sleeve is placed on the tool shank and closely surrounds the chip groove. The edges adjacent the slot lie on solid material of the tool shank. The chip grooves and the sleeve form channels for carrying away the chips removed at the workpiece machining base. Owing to the slot, the sleeve can be gently spread apart and pushed onto the tool shank from the end having the enlarged tool head.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Komet Praezisionswerkzeuge Robert Breuning GmbHInventors: Helmut Reccius, Gerhard Stolz

Patent number: 5971988Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1997Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Komet Praezisionswerkzeuge Robert Breuning GmbHInventors: Helmut Reccius, Gerhard Stolz

Patent number: 5655422Abstract: A tool head for use in machine tools has an adjustable slide (18) capable of moving with respect to the base body (10) transversely to its axis of rotation (12) and of being provided with a tool holder, as well as a device (30) for direct measurement of the travel of the slide (18). The measurement device (30) has two substrate plates (32, 34) upon whose facing surfaces are arranged the capacitive measurement structures of a measuring scale and of a sensor. The substrate plates (32, 34) are arranged in eccentric tangential planes parallel to the axis of rotation. The radially inner substrate plate is surface-linked to a bearing surface of the slide (18), whereas the radially outer substrate plate is surface-supported by the bearing surface (62), capable of forming a support after surface material removal, of a bearing strip (56) that can be detachably inserted into a radial window cutout (54) of the base body (10, 36).Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1994Date of Patent: August 12, 1997Assignee: Komet Praezisionswerkzeuge Robert Breuning GmbHInventors: Gerhard Stolz, Gerhard Scheer

Patent number: 5307714Abstract: The device of the invention has a supporting body detachably fixed to a machine spindle, a head element detachably fixed to the supporting body, and at least one slide which can be moved substantially at right angles to the axis of rotation of the head element and which carries a tool or tool carrier. The radial motion of the slide is produced by the action of an axially moving actuator rod and gear means. In addition, there is in the supporting body a coolant channel for hydraulic fluid. The inlet end of the channel is connected to an opening in the spindle and the outlet opens out in the head element. For the operation of the slide, the supporting body has two cylindrical bores disposed coaxial to the axis of rotation and a certain distance apart and in which two rigidly linked pistons are located which can be connected to the actuator rod.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1992Date of Patent: May 3, 1994Assignee: Komet Praezisionswerkzenge Robert Breuning GmbHInventors: Werner Muendlein, Gerhard Stolz
