Abstract: An apparatus for providing self-adhesive film sheets includes a film dispenser that provides a film strip with at least one carrier film and a film for use that is self-adhesive on at least one side. A conveying device conveys the film strip from the film dispenser together with the carrier film on a guide track to a removal station, at which the film for use is removed from the carrier film. The removal station has a carriage with a separating edge over which the carrier film can be drawn by the conveying device. An actuator displaces the carrier film along the guide track. The removal station includes a gripper for gripping a film sheet located in front of the separating edge and holding the film sheet stationary while the carriage is displaced on the guide track by the actuator counter to the conveying direction of the carrier film. Simultaneously, the carrier film is drawn away over the separating edge for detachment from the film sheet.

Abstract: A process machine and a related method for treating and/or inspecting printed circuit boards, solar cells or the like, has at least one transport device for transporting the substrates and at least one process device for processing the substrates. The transport device and process device are both separate, self-supporting, modular units. The modular units can be selectively combined with one another in such a way that the transport device undertakes the transportation of the substrates through the process device.

Abstract: A surface milling or angular milling cutter, comprising a carrier body which circumferentially, at uniformly or non-uniformly spread spacings, has disposed pockets which extend in parallel with the axis of rotation of the carrier body for the accommodation of cassettes which, in turn, have seating surfaces for the accommodation of tool tips, a mounting device for the tool tips in the cassette, a bolt mounting to locate the cassettes in the pockets, and an adjusting pin for each cassette for a limited axial displacement of the cassettes in two directions in the pockets, characterized in that the radially outer portion of the cassette is divided by a gap extending approximately in the radial plane, and the gap receives a setting wedge the position of which can be adjusted by means of an adjusting screw in the gap.

Abstract: A hobbing cutter, comprising a tool body which is at least partially formed from a cutting material and has a through axial bore, bore portions at the ends of the axial bore, a shank body at either end of the tool body which has a portion adapted to be inserted into the bore portion so as to approximately fit therein, a radial flange adapted to abut on the front-end face of the tool body when the portion is seated in the bore portion as well as a shank portion on the side of the flange opposing the portion which is to be mounted in a machine tool wherein the shank bodies have an axial bore each containing a female-threaded portion which are in an opposed sense, and a clamping bar which is adapted to be inserted into and passed through the axial bores of the tool body and the shank bodies and the ends of which have a male-threaded portion each which interengages the associated female-threaded portion in such a way that if the threads are relatively rotated in a predetermined sense of rotation the shank bodies

Abstract: A roll for a radial thread-forming head which has disposed at its circumference a thread-forming profile with a flattened area, a thread entry portion, a thread calibrating portion, and a thread exit portion, characterized in that an annular, continuous groove portion is formed in the longitudinal half of the roll in a radial plane at the circumference, except for the flattened area, and a thread-forming profile is formed in the two sides of the groove portion wherein the pitches of the thread-forming profiles are opposed and the positions of the flattened areas are coincident.

Abstract: An indexable insert milling tool with a milling body which on the circumference comprises distanced chip spaces, in which insert seats for indexable cutting inserts are formed, and with fastening screws which can be screwed into a threaded bore in the insert seat for fastening the indexable inserts via a middle hole, wherein the insert seat comprises a first bearing surface extending roughly perpendicular to the threaded bore, against which the rear side of the indexable inserts bear and a second bearing surface on the inner side of the chip spaces, against which the indexable inserts laterally bear. The indexable insert on the rear side on the cutting edge sides comprise raised elongate support sections wedge-shaped in cross section with lower parallel distanced elongate support surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tangential thread rolling head with two fork-shaped rolling head arms in which thread rollers are rotatably mounted by way of parallel axles. The thread rollers are in engagement with a pinion, sitting on the axles, of a gear coupling both thread rollers, and the thread rollers and pinion are formed such that the rollers are laterally insertable before installing the axles. There is also a rolling head holder on which the rolling head arms are pivotably mountable about a common axle running parallel to the roller axles, threaded means for adjusting the distance of the thread roller axles from one another and adjusting means for the pivotal position of the rolling head to the rolling head holder. Cooperating claws of the thread roller and pinion are formed such that the roller may only be laterally inserted in a single defined rotational position.

Abstract: Axial thread rolling head which comprises a bearing unit including the thread rollers and rotatably supporting said thread rollers by means of eccentric shafts, an axial shank being axially movable with respect to said bearing unit and, in a first axial relative position, cooperating with a claw clutch portion of said bearing unit by means of a claw clutch portion to connect both portions so as to be resistant to torsional strength, a first gear between said shank and said eccentric shafts, a helical spring between said shank and said bearing unit being so provided that in a second axial relative position, in which said claw clutch portions are out of mesh, said helical spring, on the occasion of a displacement of said bearing unit into a first direction of rotation with respect to said shank, is tensioned or, respectively, said tensioned helical spring displaces said bearing unit into the second direction of rotation relative to said shank, spring means which tension said shank and said bearing unit into the

Abstract: A peripheral indexable cutting insert for mounting to a tool holder under an axial mounting angle (a) other than zero. The insert is formed from a sintered body having a longitudinal central axis and a generally trapezoid cross-section and has a substantially planar mounting face, a substantially planar front face opposite said mounting face and opposing side faces formed therebetween. At least a pair of opposite cutting edges having diagonally opposed leading and trailing ends are formed on the insert. Each cutting edge is formed at the intersection of a chip surface with an adjacent clearance surface. Each chip surface is formed on the front face adjacent a side face, and each clearance surface is formed on a side face adjacent the front face. The chip surfaces are formed by respective linear grooves shaped in the front face.
