  • Patent number: 8465232
    Abstract: A cutting tool includes a coolant conveying member, to provide coolant fluid to a cutting area during a cutting operation. The coolant conveying member includes a member body having a fluid passage formed therein, and a nozzle to convey and to jet out the coolant fluid therethrough. The nozzle is shiftable relative to the member body, between a first, extended position and a second, retracted position. In the extended position, for example, assumed during the cutting operation—the nozzle extends out and forwardly from the member body, stabilized by the continuous flow of coolant fluid therethrough, forcing the nozzle forwardly. In the retracted position, for example, assumed when the when the coolant fluid does not flow through the coolant conveying member, or flows at a very low rate, the nozzle may be at least partially accommodated in the fluid passage, to allow, for example, indexing or replacing of the cutting insert.

  • Publication number: 20120020750
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-edged machining tool for the post-machining or precision machining of bores. The tool has at least one cutting insert with a pre-determined nominal diameter measurement and with cutting edges that are distributed substantially uniformly around the periphery, in addition to a guide body assembly that is axially offset in relation to said edges. The guide body assembly can be an integral component of a substantially cylindrical guide body that consists of a solid carbide. In some embodiments, said guide body forms at least n helical guide ribs which are equidistant around the periphery and which have a nominal diameter substantially smaller than the nominal diameter measurement of the cutting insert by a value equating to double the dimension of the lubricant gap that is formed during the operation of the tool.

  • Patent number: 8079788
    Abstract: A main body of a machine tool is covered with a cover. A ceiling portion of the cover that is situated over a spindle motor is provided with an opening portion. The cover is provided with hanging portions that hang down from the opening portion with a predetermined clearance from side surfaces of the spindle motor other than the rear surface. Air that is mixed with a misty cutting fluid in a space inside the cover is sucked in through a suction pipe by a mist collector. The outside air flows into the space inside the cover through the clearance. The outside air that passes through the clearance is driven to flow through vents by a built-in cooling fan of the spindle motor, thereby cooling the motor, and is then discharged to the outside. In consequence, the temperature in the space inside the cover can never be increased by heating of the spindle motor.

  • Patent number: 8057133
    Abstract: Machining of aluminum workpieces with diamond or diamond-like carbon-surface coated tools may be conducted in an atmosphere containing hydrogen gas at a partial pressure effective for hydrogen to react with carbon atoms at the surface to form C—H bonds that resist adherence of aluminum to the tool surface. Suitably, hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas mixture is confined at the interface of tool and workpieces at the machining site. Hydrogen partial pressure may be determined for a tool-workpiece-machining temperature combination by calculation or experiment.
