Patent number: 9604285Abstract: A rotary tool, in particular drilling tool, extends along a longitudinal axis and has an end surface; a brad point; and at least one major cutting edge extending outward up to an edge corner. A first free surface segment adjoins the major cutting edge, and a second free surface segment in turn adjoins said first free surface segment. To keep the stress, in particular the wear, low in the region of the end surface, the first free surface segment has a lower average abrasiveness than the second free surface segment.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: KENNAMETAL, INC.Inventors: Juergen Schwaegerl, Herbert Rudolf Kauper

Publication number: 20170028480Abstract: The rotary tool (2) is in particular designed as a modular drill and extends in an axial direction (4) along an axis of rotation (6). It comprises two coupling parts, namely a carrier (10) and a cutting head (12) that is attached to the carrier (10) so as to be exchangeable. A pin receiving means (20) is provided on the carrier (10), into which pin receiving means a coupling pin (40) of the cutting head (12) is introduced in a clamping manner and so as to be reversibly exchangeable. The pin receiving means (20) and the coupling pin (40) have torque sections (30a,b) and clamping sections (32a,b) that correspond to one another. In order to permit simple production, these clamping and torque sections are oriented parallel to the axis of rotation (6). In addition, in order to prevent pulling-out in an axial direction, stop surfaces (38a,b) are provided on the pin receiving means (20) and on the coupling pin (40), said stop surfaces being effective in an axial direction (4) and corresponding to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2015Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventors: Jürgen Schwägerl, Berthold Heinrich Zeug, Horst Manfred Jäger, Herbert Rudolf Kauper, Julia Tempelmeier, Tim Guter

Publication number: 20160375499Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventors: Horst Jäger, Jürgen Schwägerl, Berthold Zeug

Patent number: 9481040Abstract: A coupling part structured to engage with a complementary coupling part for interchangeably fastening a cutting head to a carrier of a rotary cutting tool. The coupling part includes a pair of coupling pins arranged opposite each other with respect to a central longitudinal axis and spaced apart from each other so as to form a receiving space structured to receive a central pin of the complementary coupling part. Each coupling pin includes a stop surface for transmitting a torque, a radially external outer surface, and a radially internal inner surface. At least one of the outer surface or inner surface is a clamping surface oriented in an obliquely inclined manner with respect to the central longitudinal axis for centering and clamping the coupling part.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Juergen Schwaegerl, Berthold Heinrich Zeug

Publication number: 20160256937Abstract: The rotary tool, in particular, the drill (2), extends along a longitudinal axis (4) and has a front surface (6), a center (12), at least two main cutting edges (8), each extending outward from the center (12) to a cutting edge (10), as well as coiled flutes (20). Between the main cutting edge (8) and the flute (20), a common ground surface (26) is also applied, which extends from the center (12) to a radial exterior area in the region of the main cutting edge (8) to form a point thinning (28). A rake angle (?) is defined by the ground surface (26). Here, the rake angle (?) changes without steps in the direction of the center (12) and, in particular, continuously. Expediently, the ground surface extends (26) continuously to the cutting edge (10). As a result, on the whole, an advantageous cutting force distribution is achieved over the radial length of the main cutting edge (8).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: Tim GUTER, Juergen SCHWAEGERL, Julia TEMPELMEIER

Patent number: 9296049Abstract: A coupling point for a modular rotary which extends in an axial direction. The coupling point includes a first coupling part disposed on a tool head and a second coupling part disposed on a carrier. The coupling parts can be coupled to one another by bidirectional rotation with the formation of an interference fit which acts in the radial direction. Each coupling part includes two coupling faces which lie opposite one another and have contact regions in which the interference fit is formed. In the first coupling part, at least one of the coupling faces has at least two contact regions which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, and, to this end, at least one first clearance portion is formed between the contact regions, in which clearance portion the two coupling parts do not bear against one another in the coupled state.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Juergen Schwaegerl, Herbert Rudolf Kauper

Publication number: 20150360301Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: KENNAMETAL, INC.Inventors: HERBERT RUDOLF KAUPER, JUERGEN SCHWAEGERL
