  • Publication number: 20130032129
    Abstract: The super-abrasive grain fixed type wire saw is equipped with two layers consisting of a brazing material layer (13) and a metal plating layer (16), the aforementioned brazing material layer (13) serving to temporarily fix super-abrasive grains (14), and the aforementioned metal plating layer (16) serving to hold the super-abrasive grains (14). The thickness of the brazing material layer (13) is 10% or less of the average grain diameter of the super-abrasive grains (14). The brazing material layer (13) is formed on the surface of a wire (10) in advance. The super-abrasive grains (14) are dispersed and adhered in a single layer onto the brazing material layer (13). Subsequently, the surface of the brazing material layer (13) is melted and solidified, resulting in a super-abrasive-grains-temporarily-adhered wire (12) such that super-abrasive grains (14) are joined to the adhesion surface of the brazing material layer (13). Thereafter, the super-abrasive-grains-temporarily-adhered wire (12) is metal-plated.

  • Patent number: 7320568
    Abstract: A tool holder is equipped with a tip run-out correction mechanism for correcting run-out of the tip of the tool. The tip run-out correction mechanism includes an annular stepped portion formed on a cylindrical support portion of a holder body; a ring member rotatably fitted onto the annular stepped portion; an eccentric cam disposed within the ring member, the eccentric cam extending radially through the ring member and being rotatable about a radially extending axis; and a pin disposed within the ring member to be movable along a direction parallel to the center axis of a flange portion of the holder body. One end of the pin is in contact with the eccentric cam, and the other end of the pin is in contact with a rear end face of a clamp sleeve which clamps a tool inserted into a chuck sleeve of the holder body.

  • Publication number: 20030228199
    Abstract: A tool holder includes a holder body which in turn includes a flange portion. A plurality of threaded holes are formed in the flange portion. A weight balance adjustment member(s) is removably screwed into an appropriate threaded hole(s). The adjustment member includes a coming-out prevention mechanism for preventing the same from coming out of the threaded hole. In another tool holder, weight balance adjustment members are removably screwed into all the threaded holes, each of the adjustment members includes a coming-out prevention mechanism for preventing the same from coming out of the threaded hole, and a detachment prevention member is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the flange portion in order to prevent detachment of the adjustment members.
