Patents by Inventor Jochen BITZER

Jochen BITZER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20170072477
    Abstract: A rotary tool for machining workpieces, comprising at least one main body with a clamping segment, a tool head comprising a cutting region, and at least one coolant channel for feeding a cooling and lubricating fluid into the cutting region. At least one partial surface section of the cutting region forms a hardened region, which covers and/or defines the coolant channel and is surface-hardened. A method for producing a rotary tool.

  • Patent number: 9144853
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-edged machining tool for the post-machining or precision machining of bores. The tool has at least one cutting insert with a pre-determined nominal diameter measurement and with cutting edges that are distributed substantially uniformly around the periphery, in addition to a guide body assembly that is axially offset in relation to said edges. The guide body assembly can be an integral component of a substantially cylindrical guide body that consists of a solid carbide. In some embodiments, said guide body forms at least n helical guide ribs which are equidistant around the periphery and which have a nominal diameter substantially smaller than the nominal diameter measurement of the cutting insert by a value equating to double the dimension of the lubricant gap that is formed during the operation of the tool.

  • Patent number: 9056360
    Abstract: Described is a multi-blade cutting and drilling finishing tool for machining deep or stepped bores. The tool comprises at least a first blade set having a nominal diameter and blades distributed essentially uniformly over the circumference. In order to make it easier to guide the tool along the central axis, a guiding strip set in the form of very accurately positioned cutting inserts is located axially behind the first blade set with respect to the axial direction of the tool in which the tool advances forward to machine the deep or stepped bores. Each of the cutting inserts is aligned with one of the blades of the first blade set in a direction parallel to an axis of the tool, and each of the cutting inserts has a nominal diameter which is smaller than the nominal diameter of the first blade set by essentially twice the size of a lubrication gap forming between the guiding strip set and the deep or stepped bores when the tool is used.

  • Publication number: 20120321402
    Abstract: Described is a multi-blade cutting and drilling finishing tool, in particular a reamer, for machining deep, especially stepped bores. Said tool comprises a set of blades having a predetermined nominal diameter and blades that are distributed in a substantially regular manner along the circumference. In order to make it easier to guide the tool along the central axis, a set of guiding strips in the form of very accurately placed and preferably cylindrically ground cutting inserts is located behind the set of blades in the advancing direction. Each of said cutting inserts is axially flush with the blades of the adjacent set of blades in the advancing direction of the tool and has a nominal diameter which is smaller than the nominal diameter of the set of blades substantially by twice the size of a lubrication gap forming when the tool is used.

  • Publication number: 20120012576
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a tool-system module, such as a tool having brazed blades (PKD, CBN or hard metal), wherein a cylindrical blank is equipped at an axial end with a conical hollow shaft (HSK), in particular according to DIN 69893. Select functional areas undergo a hardening process. The hardening step is carried out according to the induction hardening method and integrated in the continuous manufacturing line of the tool-system module.
