  • Patent number: 8926232
    Abstract: Milling tool formed for hobbing of workpieces having cogs has a cylindrical tool body defining a rotation axis and a plurality of disc-shaped segments. Each segment includes a hub part having two opposite plane-parallel end surfaces extending perpendicular to the rotation axis, and a peripheral cam having a plurality of tangentially spaced-apart milling inserts. Bordering segments are detachably interconnected by male and female members co-operating in pairs and situated with the rotation axis extending through the members, each of which include a contact surface converging from a big end toward a small end and, in a cross-section across the rotation axis, form an out-of-round curve. Contact surfaces are dimensioned so that, when members are brought together, they direct their two bordering segments toward an end position centered and mutually angularly determined by the out-of-round cross-section curve and where plane-parallel end surfaces abut against each other. An individual segment is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8776649
    Abstract: A turning insert formed for chip-cutting metal machining of a workpiece that rotates in a direction of rotation at a first speed of rotation around a workpiece axis, the turning insert including a front surface, an envelope surface, and a circular cutting edge located where the front surface meets the envelope surface. The cutting edge extends around the front surface and lays in a plane that forms an angle ? with the envelope surface. A tool axis extends through the turning insert in a normal direction in respect of the plane, and the turning insert, during the chip-cutting metal machining, is formed to rotate around the tool axis at a second speed of rotation. The envelope surface forms a chip surface and is arranged to meet chips formed in the chip-cutting metal machining, and the chip surface includes chip breaking means.

  • Patent number: 7568864
    Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining, including a replaceable cutting insert and a basic body. The basic body includes a rear fixing part, a front supporting part having an insert seat, and a tightening part situated over the support part, and spaced-apart from the front supporting part by a first gap and from the rear fixing part by a second gap. The tightening part is connected to the basic body via a joint. The joint is formed of at least one elastically resilient material portion and has an axis around which the tightening part is pivoted in order to press the cutting insert against the insert seat by a front finger. The rear fixing part includes an internal channel for feed of a fluid in the forward direction through the basic body. The internal channel extends into a second channel inside the tightening part via a channel section that is entirely or partly housed in a bridge which, like the joint, is formed of the material in the basic body, and which bridges one of the first and second gaps.
