Patent number: 8931981Abstract: In order to allow high-precision machining of the inner surface of a pipe using little machining time, the draw broach has a cutting part having a plurality of cutters extending in the axial draw direction. The cutting part is divided into a main part and an insertion part tapering conically in the draw direction. The insertion part in turn is divided into a front region, viewed in the draw direction, forming a pre-cutting stage, and a rear region, wherein the conicity of the pre-cutting stage is less than that of the rear region.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2009Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventor: Uwe Hobohm

Patent number: 8905690Abstract: A milling cutter for milling a groove into a blade footing of a turbine blade made from a superalloy. The milling cutter comprises a shaft part and a cutting part connected to the shaft part in the longitudinal direction. The cutting part has flutes and, when viewed in cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, has several cutting teeth distributed about the periphery. The cutting teeth are designed as scraping teeth with negative cutting geometry.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventor: Uwe Hobohm

Patent number: 8882403Abstract: The cutting insert carrier, in particular for a face milling cutter (2) comprises a tool basic body (4), having a multiplicity of insert seats (5), in which cutting inserts (6) are received. Rotatably fastened to the tool basic body (4) is a setting element, which is realized, in particular, as a curved ring (8) and which has circumferential cams (10), by means of which the clamping levers (12) are actuated for the purpose of fastening the cutting inserts (6) in a locking manner. The setting element (8) enables all clamping levers (12) to be actuated jointly, at the same time, such that all cutting inserts (6) are simultaneously released or locked in their insert seats (5). As a result, the assembly and setup time for insert changing is reduced significantly in comparison with conventional systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventor: Uwe Hobohm

Patent number: 8882406Abstract: The milling cutter, in particular a round-head milling cutter, has a tool head, which extends along an axial direction and has a number of cutting teeth that each have a cutting edge. Chip flutes are located between each of the cutting teeth. The cutting teeth each have a front-side radial portion and a circumferential axial portion. The respective cutting edge and the chip flute are disposed such that they are inclined in opposite directions with respect to the axial direction such that the cutting tooth widens towards a foot region. In another embodiment, the tool head has two parts: a carrier part made of a tool steel, and a cutting part made of hard metal fastened to the carrier part. The milling cutter is distinguished by a long service life with a high cutting rate and a high quality of machining.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Uwe Hobohm, Heinrich Georg Manner, Werner Zitzmann

Publication number: 20120219375Abstract: The tool holder (2) is realized for fastening to a machine tool and for reversibly receiving a radial tool (4), in particular for receiving a milling cutter. The tool holder (2) is realized in three parts, having a rear machine part (6), made of a ductile elastic tool steel, for reversibly fastening to the machine tool, and having a front clamping part (10), made of a tool steel, for reversibly receiving the tool (4), and having an intermediate part (8), made of a heavy metal, in particular solid hard metal, disposed between the machine part (6) and the clamping part (10). Owing to the greater density of the heavy metal in comparison with the tool steel, the tool holder (2) is better able to absorb forces occurring during a milling operation, thereby achieving a milling operation that is sparing of the cutting tool, and consequently achieving a long service life.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: KENNAMETAL INC.Inventors: Uwe Hobohm, Heinrich Georg Manner, Werner Zitzmann
