Abstract: A combination tool including a tool holder that extends along a tool rotational axis that defines an axial extension, an inner cutting tool for machining a first, central hole region and an outer, sleeve-shaped cutting tool for machining a second hole region radially outwards relative to the first hole region.

Abstract: An inner cavity near-net-shaping device for micro cast-rolling additive manufacturing of large-scale special-shaped pipe, includes a main transmission assembly, an inner cavity near-net-shaping assembly and a main feed assembly. The inner cavity near-net-shaping assembly comprises an inner cavity mold, an expansion cylinder and an expansion push rod, the expansion cylinder is provided with a gap in a direction of a thin wall thickness thereof, an inner cavity surface of the expansion cylinder is evenly distributed along a circumferential direction thereof with the inner wedge-shaped slider, and the expansion push rod comprises a first shaft section, a second shaft section, an outer wedge-shaped slider and a third shaft section, an outer surface of the second shaft section of the expansion push rod is evenly distributed along a circumferential direction thereof with an outer wedge-shaped slider.

Abstract: A clamping arrangement for fixing workpieces, having a housing with a clamping cone and a clamping segment ring with a plurality of clamping segments. The clamping segments are movable radially relative to one another via joint axial movement relative to the clamping cone. An ejector pin is provided for removal of the clamping segment ring from the clamping cone. A contact region for reception of or contact with a distal end of the ejector pin is provided on an end face of at least one of the clamping segments, which contact region is designed such that the ejector pin restricts outward mobility of the clamping segment in the radial direction in a positive locking manner when the distal end of the ejector pin is arranged in the contact region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool holder comprising a tool receptacle for frictionally clamping a tool shaft. A sleeve is arranged between the tool shaft and the clamping surface of the tool holder, said tool holder applying pressure to the tool shaft via the sleeve, producing the friction fit. At least one of the bearing surfaces of the sleeve is interrupted by open surfaces that are designed and arranged such that they form the damping cavities.

Abstract: A chuck for a tubular body having a noncircular outer surface and an interior formed with a gripping formation has a spindle extending along an axis, axially displaceable claws in the spindle each having a pair of opposite ends, and a gripper head engageable with one of the ends of each of the claws in the spindle. This head is displaceable between a holding position in which the claws engage the gripping formation in the tubular-body interior and an open position disengaged from the gripping formation. The jaws move on displacement between the open position and the holding position by engagement of the gripper head with their one ends in a first pivotal movement and then at their other ends in a second pivotal movement to press their other ends against the working spindle.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for clamping and subsequently machining a disk- or ring-shaped workpiece, wherein the workpiece is set down on a contact surface of a contact member made from elastomeric material. The workpiece is axially pressed against the contact surface with an elastomeric-material clamping member of a clamping device and simultaneously fixed in place perpendicular to the workpiece axis. Subsequently, the workpiece is machined with a tool.
