  • Patent number: 12179274
    Abstract: A tool holder for a tool for machining a workpiece. The tool holder has a cutting insert receptacle for receiving a cutting insert, wherein the cutting insert receptacle has an upper clamping jaw for abutting an upper surface of the cutting insert and a lower clamping jaw for abutting a lower surface of the cutting insert opposite the upper surface. Further, the tool holder has an internal coolant channel extending inside the tool holder between a coolant inlet opening and a coolant outlet opening, wherein an end portion of the coolant channel extending inside the upper clamping jaw along a channel center axis opens into the coolant outlet opening. The coolant outlet opening is arranged at the upper clamping jaw and configured as an elongated opening. A width of the coolant outlet opening is smaller than a height of the coolant outlet opening measured orthogonally to the width of the coolant outlet opening.

  • Publication number: 20240165712
    Abstract: A cutting insert for a tool for machining a workpiece. The cutting insert comprises a clamping section which comprises a coolant channel which is configured as a through-hole. Further, the cutting insert comprises a cutting head having at least one cutting member which comprises a main cutting edge, a rake face which adjoins the main cutting edge, and a chip-breaking geometry which protrudes from the rake face or which is introduced into the rake face and which is configured to break a chip which is machined with the main cutting edge. Furthermore, the cutting insert comprises a cantilever arm which connects the clamping section to the cutting head and which has a smaller diameter than the clamping section. A portion of the cutting head comprising the chip-breaking geometry at least partially covers the coolant channel when viewed in a plan view from a front side along a longitudinal axis of the cutting insert.

  • Patent number: 11648613
    Abstract: Broaching tool comprising a cutting insert having a cutting edge and a holder for holding the cutting insert. The holder has a clamping region and a holding region, wherein the holding region comprises, at its end facing away from the clamping region, a seat for the cutting insert, which is configured and arranged such that, when the cutting insert is mounted in the seat, its cutting edge projects beyond the circumferential surface of the holding region. The holding region furthermore comprises, on its circumferential surface, a support for the cutting insert. A coolant channel extends into the inside of the holder, which coolant channel comprises two exit openings which, as seen in the circumferential direction, are arranged laterally adjacent to the support and/or in lateral surfaces of the support.

  • Patent number: 11484949
    Abstract: A cutting insert includes a cylindrical body portion, a cutting portion, a first fitting portion, a second fitting portion, and a third fitting portion. The cutting portion includes a rake face and a flank face. A ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face constitutes a cutting edge. When viewed in the axial direction, the cutting portion is provided opposite to the third fitting portion relative to the insertion hole. When viewed in the axial direction, a straight line extending through an outer circumferential end of the cutting edge and a center of the insertion hole overlaps with the third fitting portion and is located between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. A third central angle is smaller than a first central angle and is smaller than a second central angle.

  • Publication number: 20160339526
    Abstract: A tool for machining a workpiece, comprising a cutting insert and a tool holder, which has a main body, an upper clamping finger and a lower clamping finger, wherein the main body extends along a longitudinal direction (x) from a holder-side end to a workpiece-side end. A projecting part of the lower clamping finger projects over the workpiece-side end of the main body. The upper clamping finger and the lower clamping finger together form a receiving fixture for the cutting insert, in which the cutting insert may be fixed such that the upper clamping finger, via an upper clamping surface disposed thereon, exerts a clamping force on the cutting insert. At least a part of the upper clamping surface is disposed between the workpiece-side end and the holder-side end of the main body, and a force vector of the clamping force acts in a region which is located between the workpiece-side end and the holder-side end of the main body.

  • Patent number: 9352402
    Abstract: A cutting tool for machining a workpiece. The cutting tool comprises a holder and at least two cutting inserts which are separated from each other by a spacer element. The cutting tool may be used to produce two or more bevels (and/or joints and/or grooves) at precisely defined spacings in only one operation. Through the use of spacer elements of different lengths, it is possible to produce bevels at different spacings. The spacer element preferably has an interface which comprises only radial contact surfaces, which run parallel to a longitudinal axis of the spacer element, and a substantially flat axial contact surface, which runs transverse to the longitudinal axis. The length of the spacer element can therefore be shortened on the rear side of the spacer element without destroying said interface.
