  • Patent number: 8684639
    Abstract: In a device for limiting the advance during a drilling operation, which can be used in conjunction with a hand drill or with an automatic manufacturing machine, the device comprising a housing with a stop cage and a spindle mounted rotatably and axially displaceably in the housing, and a stop which is adjustable in the axial direction being arranged for limiting the advance, the invention consists in that the stop cage (2a) comprises a pin fixed to the housing for breaking the chips, with a housing-side end and a free end, in such a way that it extends approximately parallel and directly adjacent to the workpiece surface and approximately radially from the outside towards the drilling tool in such a way that its free end almost touches the countersink. Damage to the surface of workpieces is prevented by the invention, so that corresponding refinishing is avoided. Moreover, the removal of the coiled chips from the drilling tool previously necessary after each drilling cycle is dispensed with.

  • Publication number: 20130020735
    Abstract: A method for milling long fibre reinforced composite plastics having at least one unidirectional top layer using a rotating milling tool, wherein work piece and tool are moved in an advancing movement parallel to the work piece cutting face relative to each other, and wherein there is an edge fibre separation angle on the work piece of 0°??edge?90°, and the blade of the tool mills the component edge in synchronization.

  • Patent number: 8118520
    Abstract: In order to improve a device for a drilling machine in such a way that manual drilling can be carried out with optimum conditions, it is proposed that the device include a workpiece jigging device, a guide device for the guidance of the machine when there is a displacement of the workpiece jigging device, and a control device for the control of the feed displacement of the workpiece jigging device and the machine. The control device has combinations of impact dampers and/or springs to achieve control over the feed displacement.

  • Publication number: 20110094363
    Abstract: A ceramic cutting tool configured as multiphase ceramic with an improved resistance to wear of the edge area or edge layer consists of a base ceramic and of a sacrificial phase as well as eventually additives and primary hard material phases and an eventually multilayered edge area or edge layer resistant to wear, hard, not deposited made of at least one hard material phase, whereby the edge area is intimately intergrown with the starting ceramic and which is formed by aging the starting ceramic in a defined atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 7347651
    Abstract: In order to improve a device (100) for a drilling machine (10) known per se for manual drilling with a casing (11), a grip (12), a tool chuck (13) and a tool (14), especially a drilling, reaming or counterboring tool, in such a way that manual drilling can be carried out with optimum conditions, it is proposed that the device comprises a workpiece jigging device (15) with at least one contact face and a guide device (21) for the parallel guidance of the tool (14) and/or of the casing (11) when there is a displacement of the workpiece jigging device (15) relative to the casing (11), said displacement being coaxial with a machine axis and/or tool axis, and a suction-type extraction device (18) for conveying away and sucking away material chips, dusts and impurities from the area of the workpiece jigging device (15), or more precisely the machining point and a control device (27) for the control of the feed motion between the workpiece jigging device (15) and the casing (11), said control being active at leas

  • Patent number: 5810520
    Abstract: A cutting insert is formed with a cutting edge, a cutting corner at an end of the cutting edge, a cutting surface, and a row of raised scales extending along the cutting edge. Each scale is formed with an arcuate apex line transverse to the cutting edge and forming at the cutting edge relative to a perpendicular to the cutting edge an angle between 55.degree. and -5.degree., a steep flank to one side of the apex line, and a shallow flank to the other side of the apex line. The apex line is concave toward the other side.

  • Patent number: 5758994
    Abstract: A cutting insert for material-removing machining is formed with at least one generally straight cutting edge and a central flat plateau spaced backward from and at a predetermined height above the cutting edge. A plurality of elongated ridge-like chip-forming elements each extend along a respective longitudinal axis forming a respective acute angle to a respective perpendicular to the cutting edge from a leading end spaced backward from the cutting edge to a trailing end at the plateau and are each formed of a row of discrete bumps defining a contour line having adjacent the rear end a rear portion of a maximum height at least equal to that of the plateau, forward therefrom a front portion of a minimum height, and a rising intermediate portion having a length equal to at least half a length of the respective element.
