  • Patent number: 8485765
    Abstract: An indexable insert for solid drills has four identical cutting edges (30) arranged at a distance above a supporting base (42) and each extending between two cutting-edge corners (28?, 28?). The cutting edges are each bounded by a cutting face (46) and a clearance face (48), with the inclusion of a wedge angle (b). Of the cutting edges (30), one in each case is in an active operating position during the drilling operation. To permit optimum adaptation to the cutting conditions and drilling characteristics, varying over the length of the cutting edge of the drilling tool, it is proposed according to the invention that the height (h) of the four cutting edges (30), measured from the plane of the supporting base (42), and/or the clearance angle (a) varies over the length of the respective cutting edges (30).

  • Publication number: 20120200050
    Abstract: A junction between two components of a tool system, that rotates about an axis of rotation, includes a conical seat, on the first component, coaxial to the axis of rotation and which is defined by an annular front face. The second component carries a coupling having a conical surface complementary to the conical seat and an annular end face resting against the front face. A tie bolt axially projects beyond the free end of the coupling pin and engages, in a cavity adjacent to the seat. The junction also has tensioning elements that are actuated from the exterior for mutually bracing the components, which are radially guided in the first component, and which act upon the tie bolt and are functionally linked with joint actuating means for adjustment between detached and tensioned positions. The tensioning elements include ejection portions that can be fitted with a rotatably received rolling element.

  • Patent number: 8066457
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machine tool, particularly a machine reamer, comprising a shaft-type base and a replaceable cutter head which frontally protrudes from the base. An axially protruding extension of said cutter head engages into a frontal receptacle that is fixed to the base, the cutter head being removably clamped in said receptacle by means of a clamping screw which penetrates the replaceable cutter head in a truly axial direction. The screw head of the clamping screw rests against a face of the replaceable cutter head. The extension of the replaceable cutter head is provided with a polygonal part which is complementary to a truly axial polygonal hole that is fixed to the base and is penetrated by the polygonal part.

  • Publication number: 20100183384
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machine tool for use in tool machines, comprising a cutting element which is preferably configured as a cutting ring and at least two insert seats that are provided in the cutting element at distance to each other in the circumferential direction. The insert seats are fitted with at least one group of at least two identical insert tips that are detachably arranged therein and that have one working edge each, the effective working edges of the insert tips of one group being cut to the same nominal size. The insert tips are configured as indexable inserts, every single indexable insert of a group being associated with a defined insert seat in all possible positions of adjustment, and the indexable inserts of a group having at least two working edges each, one of these edges being always in the effective and at least one other edge being in the ineffective position, depending on the position of the indexable inserts in the associated insert seats.

  • Patent number: 7695221
    Abstract: A solid drill bit for machine tools has a drill bit body and two indexable inserts arranged at a radial distance from one another in respective insert seats. The inserts have an essentially quadratic contour. Their front-end main cutting edges project axially beyond the drill bit body and radially overlap one another. The outer insert has an outer insert corner and a secondary cutting edge perpendicular to the main cutting edge that projects radially beyond the circumference of the drill bit body. To permit burr-free through-drilling, the main cutting edge of the outer insert is subdivided in its longitudinal extent into a radially inner working section and a rectilinear peeling section adjoining the working section and extending to the outer insert corner. The sections enclose a setting angle of 95° to 120°. The peeling section is set at a positive setting angle of 72° to 87°.

  • Publication number: 20090283975
    Abstract: The invention relates to a junction (14) between two components (10, 12) of a tool system that rotates about an axis of rotation (16), especially for use in machine tools. The junction (14) comprises an at least partially conical seat (18), arranged on the first component (10), which is coaxial to the axis of rotation (16) and which is defined by at least one annular front face (20). The second component (12) carries a coupling part (22) which comprises a coupling pin (24) having a conical surface (32) that is complementary to the conical seat (18) and an annular end face (26) pointing towards the annular front face (20) and, in the coupled state, resting against the same. A tie bolt (36) axially projects beyond the free end of the coupling pin (24) and engages, in the coupled state, in a cavity (38) that is adjacent to the seat (18). The junction also has tensioning means that can be actuated from the exterior for mutually bracing the components (10, 12).

  • Patent number: 7575400
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dual-cutting drilling tool. The drilling tool comprises a base body (14) which is rotatable about a drill axis (36) and in which two plate seats (16) are arranged on the front face thereof for receiving identically configured alternating cutting plates (16). The alternative cutting plates are respectively provided on a main cutting edge (28) thereof with an adjacent first face (30), forming a cutting wedge, and a free surface (24). The main cutting edges (28) of the alternating cutting plates (20) complement each other in the region of a central, offset cutting part (28?), forming a cross-cutting edge which is interrupted by a center hole (60). The aim of the Invention is to reduce the risk of breakage in the center area of the alternating cutting plates and to provide better guidance for the tool.

  • Patent number: 7431543
    Abstract: A machine reamer has a base and a reamer head configured as a one-piece indexable insert that axially projects beyond the front of the base. The indexable insert can be introduced in a front insert seat of the base with an axially projecting, preferably conical shoulder and can be clamped therein by a tension rod that extends through the center-axis of the base. In order to improve the rotational catch effect between the base and the indexable insert, the indexable insert has a central polygonal opening through which the tension rod engages with a complementary polygonal section.
