  • Patent number: 11590583
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machining tool (2) for processing a bore in a workpiece, in particular for simultaneous processing of a plurality of bores distanced from one another by a predefined distance, said machining tool having a cutting body (8) extending in the direction of a tool longitudinal axis (4) and having at least one cutting element (12) arranged circumferentially, and a guide body (10), which adjoins the cutting body (8) in the direction of the tool longitudinal axis (4), is fastened to the cutting body (8) and has at least one circumferentially arranged guide element (20). The guide body (10) is free of cutting elements (12) and the guide body (10) is designed to exert a preload force such that, during use, the at least one guide element (20) is preloaded against a bearing for the guide body (10).

  • Patent number: 10654110
    Abstract: The present application relates to a cutting tool (2), in particular a boring bar (2) for machining holes (16) separated from each other in an axial direction (4) by a given spacing distance (a), comprising a main body (10) extending in an axial direction (4) with an axis of rotation (R) with at least one cutting element (12), as well as with a number of guide elements (14) for guiding the main body (10) within a guide hole (16A), wherein the guide elements (14) for the axis of rotation (R) are separated by a guide radius (r1), wherein viewed in a cross-section, the main body (10) is divided into a functional region (19) and an eccentric region (20), wherein the cutting elements (12) and the guide elements (14) are arranged distributed over the circumference of the main body (10) over an angular region (?) of less than 180°.

  • Publication number: 20180154454
    Abstract: The invention relates to an expanding clamping sleeve for an expanding chuck having a first and a second bearing section, a clamping section that can grasp a tool, and a thrust section that is arranged between the clamping section and the first bearing section. The invention further relates to a toolholder having such an expanding clamping sleeve, wherein a contact surface is provided for a tool-side stop. The invention finally relates to a method for clamping a tool using an expanding chuck, in which, in a first step, a shaft of the tool is inserted into the expanding chuck, then the expanding chuck is subjected to pressure so that a clamping section of the expanding chuck clamps the tool shaft in the radial direction, and a thrust section of the expanding chuck displaces the tool shaft in the axial direction so that a tool-side stop is forced against a contact surface of a toolholder with an axial minimum clamping force.

  • Patent number: 9895757
    Abstract: A reamer has a basic tool body made of hard metal (12) and a plate-like cutting insert (18) inserted into a recess (28) at the front. The cutting insert (18) is at least partially made of polycrystalline diamond, its cutting edges (20) situated axially offset relative to the cutting edges (30) on the basic tool body (12), thus engaging with the workpiece later.

  • Patent number: 9789547
    Abstract: To make it possible for bores (16) that are in line with one another to be efficiently worked by means of a boring bar (2), the boring bar has a main body (10) with an axis of rotation (R) and a number of cutting elements (12, 12A) at intervals from one another in the axial direction (4) and also guiding elements (14) for guiding the main body (10) in a guiding bore (16A). The guiding elements (14) are kept at a distance from the axis of rotation (R) equivalent to a guide radius (r1). The main body (10) is divided into a functional region (19) and an eccentric region (10), wherein the cutting elements (12, 12A) and the guiding elements (14) are arranged such that they are distributed around the main body (10) over an angular range (a) of less than 180°. Furthermore, the circumferential side (22) of the main body (10) can be passed eccentrically through a respective bore (16, 16A) of which the unworked tube radius (r2) is less than the guide radius (r1).
