  • Patent number: 11471954
    Abstract: A tool holder (1) includes a clamping member (4) for clamping and holding a tool (5), a holder body (2) having, at a leading end thereof, a receiving portion (25) for receiving the clamping member (4) along an axis (AX) and an operational member (N) for attaching the clamping member (4) to the holder body (2). The clamping member (4) clamps the tool (5) by an operation of the operational member (N). Vibration is applied to a contact portion (T) between the clamping member (4) and the holder body (2) when the clamping member (4) clamps the tool (5).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10730117
    Abstract: Provided is a tool chuck that allows precision gripping of a tool by a collet when this collet is pushed into a chuck body. The tool chuck includes a collet for gripping a tool, a chuck body having, at a leading end thereof, a receiving portion for receiving the collet inserted therein along an axis thereof, a holder containing the collet therein and configured to be movable together with the collet along an axial direction based on the axis, and a nut fitted on the chuck body (2) in a radial direction based the axis and containing the holder in the radial direction. The holder has a movement allowing mechanism for allowing the holder to move relative to the nut along the axial direction when the nut is moved relative to the chuck body along the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9889506
    Abstract: Provided is a vibration-proof structure capable of more effectively reducing rotational vibration of a rotating body during a cutting operation. According to a configuration of the structure, inside a main body of the rotating body, there are provided a plurality of shaft members arranged along a longitudinal direction of a rotation axis of the rotating body and at least one layer of multiple tubular members fitted over the shaft members and arranged coaxially with the rotation axis along the longitudinal direction of this rotation axis; and a boundary position between the shaft members adjacent each other in the longitudinal direction and a boundary position between the tubular members adjacent each other in the longitudinal direction are set as different positions along the longitudinal direction.
