  • Patent number: 11786978
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic expanding chuck for gripping a tool, for example a drill or a milling tool, comprising: a clamping part having an expansion sleeve having a central receiving opening for receiving and clamping the tool; and a connection part, in particular having a HSK connection. According to the invention, the expansion sleeve has at least two pressure chambers, which are designed to run around the central receiving opening, which are arranged at an axial distance relative to one another, and which can bulge when the tool received in the central receiving opening is subjected to fluid pressure. The at least two pressure chambers are connected to one another by a fluid channel.

  • Publication number: 20230311218
    Abstract: A machining tool for producing or machining bores, respectively, with high positional and/or surface quality, comprising a tool axis and a tool carrier section, which carries at least one tool blade and at least one guide rail, which radially supports the tool carrier section on a bore wall. The guide rail can be set with respect to its radial position and with respect to its tilt relative to the tool axis by means of a setting means, which engages with a guide rail carrier. In order to put together a tool, which operates highly precisely and with little effort, the guide rail carrier is connected via a material joint to a section that is fixed to the tool, thus either to the tool carrier section or a component, which can be firmly connected thereto, and the material joint can be blocked by means of the setting means.

  • Publication number: 20220152710
    Abstract: A hydraulic expanding chuck having a main body which extends along a rotational axis and has a clamping part for receiving and clamping a shank tool and a shank part having a hollow shank for directly or indirectly coupling the hydraulic expanding chuck to a module of a modular tool system or to a machine spindle. The clamping part has a central receiving opening and, around the receiving opening, at least one pressure chamber to which fluid pressure can be applied and which is separated from the receiving opening via an elastically yielding expansion wall and is connected via a pressure duct to a pressure-generating device situated in the main body. The pressure-generating device is arranged axially in the region between the receiving opening and the hollow shank in a central cut-out, which is coaxial with the receiving opening and which opens into the hollow shank.

  • Publication number: 20220072625
    Abstract: A rotatable tool, comprising a tool support body which has an axis and which forms at least one plate seat either directly or in a cartridge in order to receive a cutting plate. By means of a head screw, which passes through the cutting plate, the base of the cutting plate can be pressed against a base support surface, and two plate edges, which form an angle with each other, can be pressed against a respective corresponding edge support surface of the plate seat. Production dimensions are maintained with a low degree of tolerance and the tool is protected from excessive wear to a sufficient degree. Both edge support surfaces are made of support bodies which are movably guided in the tool support body and which can be driven by a corresponding adjustment device in order to finely adjust the cutting plate in a radial and axial direction, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7731458
    Abstract: The invention concerns a clamping element of a coupling device for releasably but axially and rotationally fixing tool components for dry machining (MMS technology) and for wet machining. The element provides a friction-type connection between the components to be coupled. A cooling tube is arranged at the center of the coupling device. The spindle is provided with an elongated hole run through which cooling tube passes. A variable contour between the base body and the clamping segment enables an increase in distribution of forces for the support of the clamping segments. The novel geometry of the clamping segments results in novel contours in the base body with smoother transitions, hence a better force distribution, thereby reducing material breakage and a more reliable and robust clamping. By virtue of their novel geometry, the clamping segments have an increased surface enabling larger clamping screws to be used.

  • Publication number: 20070065247
    Abstract: The invention concerns a clamping element of a coupling device for releasably but fixedly fitting components in the axis and in rotation, in particular tool components for dry machining (MMS technology) and for wet machining, said element providing a friction-type connection between the components to be coupled. The cooling tube (2) arranged at the center of the coupling device modifies the geometry of the clamping elements. The spindle is provided with an elongated hole run through by the liquid cooling tube (2), the radial offset of the clamping segments (5) being thus compensated. The modified design of the clamping segments (5) between the base body (7) and the clamping segment enables the distribution of forces for the support of the clamping segments (5) to be increased. The novel geometry of the clamping segments (5) results in novel contours (6) in the base body with smoother transistions, hence a better force distribution, thereby reducing material breakage and a more reliable and robust clamping.
