Publication number: 20200086393Abstract: A swiss turning tool assembly includes an insert and a tool holder. The tool holder includes a head portion which in turn includes an insert pocket and a fastener hole opening out to a flank side of the tool and to a pocket opening in the insert pocket. The insert pocket also includes a tool clamping arrangement which in turn includes a tool base surface and at least one tool abutment surface forming an external acute angle with the tool base surface. The insert includes an insert base surface which in turn includes at least one insert abutment surface forming an internal acute angle with the insert base surface. To achieve a clamped position, a single fastener, accessed from the tool's flank side abuts the insert.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2018Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: Iscar, Ltd.Inventor: PHILIP SHAHEEN

Publication number: 20200086395Abstract: A quick change tool includes a tool element, an elongate body having a drive shaft and attaching means for attaching the tool element to the body, and a receiving element for attaching to the tool element. The receiving element includes a through-hole for receiving the body by sliding through the receiving element in the longitudinal direction of the body. The receiving element is configured to co-act with the attaching means to lock the tool element relative to the body at least in an axial direction of the drive shaft. The attaching means includes a resiliently movable locking pin arranged spring-mounted in the body. The receiving element comprises a locking hole configured to receive the locking pin therein in a snapping manner. A pin guiding groove extends between a receiving opening of the through-hole and the locking hole for guiding the locking pin from the receiving opening to the locking hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2017Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: MIREKAJA A.G.Inventor: Frank Pieter Jacobus BALEN

Publication number: 20200086398Abstract: A coolant collet assembly has a collet body and a cutter. The collet body has an outer end, an inner end, an annular groove, multiple external slits, multiple internal slits, and multiple coolant channels. The external slits and the internal slits are in a staggered arrangement. Each coolant channel is defined longitudinally in the collet body around the cutter hole, is converged radially toward the outer end, and has an end communicating with a respective one of the internal slits and an opening formed in the outer end. The cutter is inserted in the cutter hole. The coolant may flow through the coolant channels of the collet body and is guided to the heating point of the working cutter with the converged coolant channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2018Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: SHIN-YAIN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Pen-Hung CHEN
