  • Patent number: 11806857
    Abstract: A power tool is provided including a housing including a motor case and a handle; an electric motor housed within the motor case and rotatably driving a motor spindle; a gear case mounted on the housing; and an output spindle rotatably coupled to the motor spindle. The output spindle, motor spindle, and the handle form the plane through the housing. A fan is coupled to the motor to generate an airflow through the housing. The housing includes a first air inlet on a first side of the plane and a second air inlet a second side of the plane opposite the first air inlet, both adjacent the motor. The first air inlet is larger than the second air inlet to allow a larger volume of air to enter the housing from the first side of the plane than from the second side of the plane.

  • Publication number: 20120225615
    Abstract: An abrasive disc for a multiple disc grinding machine is described, including a disc-shaped support having a circumferential rim on which the abrasive material is placed and an opposing central hole for fitting on to a driving shaft of the grinding machine, said hole extending through the thickness of the disc-shaped support, in which a portion of said central hole has a diameter greater than the diameter of the connection to said shaft, such that an annular chamber is formed in the thickness of the support. The further disc includes at least one radial recess formed on a front surface of the disc-shaped support and extending from said annular chamber towards the circumferential rim of said disc, in such a way that a coolant fluid fed into the driving shaft can accumulate in said annular chamber and can then flow through said radial recess towards the abrasive edge of said disc.

  • Patent number: 8254125
    Abstract: A machine tool with a heat conduction structure comprises a machine tool and a heat dissipation seat installed on the machine tool. The machine tool has a handle. The handle has an accommodation space accommodating a circuit board and having an opening at one end. The heat dissipation seat has a heat dissipation member arranged on the opening and a carrying member connected with the heat dissipation member and extended to the accommodation space. The carrying member carries the circuit board, contacts heat sources of the circuit board, and conducts heat to the heat dissipation member. As the machine tool is exempted from forming heat dissipation holes on the handle, the present invention can effectively prevent dust from entering the handle and damaging the circuit board. Further, the present invention can dissipate heat generated by the circuit board and maintain normal operation of the circuit board and the machine tool.

  • Patent number: 8197305
    Abstract: A dynamic pressure in the coolant supplied between a rotating grinding wheel and a rotating workpiece is released by making at least one of oblique grooves on the grinding wheel pass vertically through a contact surface on which a grinding surface of the grinding wheel contacts the workpiece. Where one and the other side intersection points are defined as intersection points at which both ends of each oblique groove respectively cross extension lines of one and the other side edges parallel to a grinding wheel circumferential direction of the contact surface, the other side intersection point of each oblique groove overlaps the one side intersection point of an oblique groove next to each such oblique groove by a predetermined overlap amount in the grinding wheel circumferential direction, and the length in the grinding wheel circumferential direction of the contact surface is made to be shorter than the overlap amount.

  • Patent number: 8113913
    Abstract: Simultaneous double-side grinding of a plurality of semiconductor wafers involves positioning each wafer freely in a cutout of one of plural carriers which rotate on a cycloidal trajectory, wherein the wafers are machined between two rotating ring-shaped working disks, each disk having a working layer of bonded abrasive, wherein the form of the working gap between working layers is determined during grinding and the form of the working area of at least one disk is altered such that the gap has a predetermined form. The wafers, during machining, may temporarily overhang the gap. The carrier is optionally composed only of a first material, or is completely or partly coated with the first material such that during machining only the first material contacts the working layer, and the first material does not reduce the machining ability of the working layer.
