  • Patent number: 10576552
    Abstract: The rotary tool has two coupling parts, namely a carrier and a cutting head having a front end face. The carrier has a pin seat into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is inserted. Effective stop faces are formed on the pin seat and on the coupling pin in the axial direction for axial pull-out protection. For a design that is as simple as possible, in particular in terms of grinding, a side face adjoins a respective stop face of the coupling pin and, when viewed in the axial direction, freely extends to the end face. In particular, the side face forms a torque face. For reliable clamping attachment, in particular with larger nominal diameters (D), a separating slot is made in the carrier and a clamping screw is inserted into it, both of which serve to fix the cutting head in the pin seat.

  • Patent number: 10434582
    Abstract: A tool coupling used for a clamping connection between two coupling parts, in particular between a cutting head and a carrier of a rotary tool, in particular of a drill. The coupling parts comprise clamping sections, which respectively correspond to one another and which can be clamped against each other by turning counter to a predefined direction of rotation about an axis of rotation so that a press fit is produced. In order to produce a high clamping force and at the same time allow for a simple installation via screwing in, each clamping section comprises several successive clamping surfaces which—with respect to a cross section viewed orthogonally to the axial direction—respectively travel along a circular arc, wherein the diameter increases for clamping surfaces succeeding one another in the direction of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20190262879
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a blank, in particular a blank for the production of a cutting tool, wherein a green body extending in the direction of the extrusion axis is produced from extrusion material by means of an extruder which has an extrusion channel extending along an extrusion axis; wherein the extrusion channel together with a movable mold element forms a die of the extruder; and wherein the mold element is moved relative to the extrusion channel and within said extrusion channel during the extrusion of the green body, whereby the shaping geometry of the die is changed so that the completely extruded green body hereby has a first functional segment and a second functional segment adjacent thereto in the direction of the extrusion axis (4); wherein the two functional segments differ with regard to their geometries impressed by the die.

  • Patent number: 10213845
    Abstract: A rotary tool designed as a modular drill, extending in an axial direction along an axis of rotation. It comprises two coupling parts: a carrier; and a cutting head that is attached to the carrier so as to be exchangeable. The carrier includes pin receiving means, into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is introduced in a clamping manner and so as to be reversibly exchangeable. The pin receiving means and the coupling pin have torque sections and clamping sections that correspond to one another and are oriented parallel to the axis of rotation. In addition, to prevent axial pull-out, stop surfaces are provided on the pin receiving means and on the coupling pin, the stop surfaces being effective in an axial direction and corresponding to one another. These stop surfaces preferably extend horizontally and therefore perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20190054548
    Abstract: A modular rotary cutting tool includes a cutting head for insertion into a support. The cutting head has a coupling pin having torque surfaces and clamping surfaces formed on its outer peripheral surface. The coupling pin is divided into a front pin part and a rear pin part. The front pin part is defined by a circumferential groove. Stop surfaces for an axial pullout prevention are formed between the front pin part and the rear pin part. The torque surfaces and the clamping surfaces are arranged in different pin parts. For example, the clamping surfaces are preferably formed on the front pin part and the torque surfaces are preferably formed on the rear pin part. The clamping surfaces taper radially inward in a direction of the front cutting part at an angle of inclination, ?2, with respect to the axis of rotation. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

  • Patent number: 10207336
    Abstract: A rotary tool comprising two coupling parts, namely a carrier and a cutting head in a front end surface. The carrier comprises a pin receptacle into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is inserted. In order to prevent pulling-out in an axial direction, stop surfaces are provided on the pin receptacle and on the coupling pin, said stop surfaces being effective in an axial direction. For a design that is as simple as possible, in particular with regard to grinding, each stop surface of the coupling pin is adjoined by a lateral surface which freely tapers off in the direction toward the end surface as viewed in the axial direction. In particular, the lateral surface constitutes a torque surface.

  • Patent number: 10086444
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drill tip (2) comprising a base body (6) having chip flutes (22A,B) and extending in the axial direction along an axis of rotation (8) and having at least two main cutting edges (14A,B) on the front face thereof extending outward in the radial direction to a cutting corner (16A,B). Seen in cross section, the base body is asymmetric relative to rotation about the axis of rotation (8) at the height of the cutting corner (16A,B). The cross section of the base body is simultaneously designed having symmetrical spacing from the main cutting edges (14A,B). The drill tip (2) is in particular designed as an interchangeable modular part of a modularly designed drill tip (5). A drill base body (4) in which the drill tip (2) can be inserted can therefore in turn be designed symmetrically.

  • Patent number: 10058930
    Abstract: The coupling part, in particular cutting head for a drilling tool for the interchangeable fastening in a coupling receptacle, has a coupling pin which is enclosed by a head support surface, wherein the coupling pin has a plurality of types of functional surfaces, namely stop surfaces for transmitting a torque between the cutting head and the carrier, and clamping surfaces for centering and clamping the cutting head in the coupling receptacle. The coupling pin has an axially front pin region and an adjoining, axially rear pin region, and the clamping surfaces and the stop surfaces are arranged in different pin regions. This decoupling and distribution of the functional surfaces to the various pin regions permits simpler production of the coupling pin and an overall more robust configuration.

  • Patent number: 10040132
    Abstract: The rotary tool comprises a support and a cutting head which can be inserted into a pin receptacle of the support via a coupling pin. The support and the cutting head have mutually corresponding surface sections for transferring a radial clamping force and have mutually corresponding torque sections for transferring torque. For an axial pull-out stop device, effective stop surfaces are formed on the pin receptacle and on the coupling pin in the axial direction, wherein, to do this, a stop element is formed, the radial extension of which is smaller than or equal to a radial extension (r2) of the surface sections of the coupling pin and wherein the stop surfaces and the surface section are offset relative to each other in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 9662719
    Abstract: In order to ensure good guidance of a drilling tool at the start of a drilling operation and at the same time ensure a reliable evacuation of a center chip, in the drill bit, in a tool flank adjoining a respective main cutting edge, an additional point thinning is recessed in the region of a transverse cutting edge, which additional point thinning, extending in a principal direction from the tool flank, merges, with a convex course, into a chip flute. As a result of the convex design, an as far as possible homogeneous, edge-free transition into the chip flute is obtained. Since the point thinning is additionally made, the tool flank, even in the rear end facing away from the cutting edge, remains at a front axial position, so that a second land is effective for a reliable guidance of the bore already at an axially front position.
