A portable drilling and/or boring machine, for workpieces, in particular workpieces that make up aeroplane structures, such as airframes, wings, cabin, etc., the machine including a jig busing for guiding a machining tool, an expansible clip for blocking the jig bushing in an opening of a screen positioned on and secured to the workpiece, the screen constituting a drilling jig, and means for moving the expansible clip in order to clamp and unclamp the jig bushing and secure the machine relative to the screen, the means for moving the expansible clip relative to the jig bushing including an electric motor, the torque and position of which are controlled.

A cutting tool holding mechanism for detachably holding a cutting tool includes: a collet chuck configured to clamp and unclamp the cutting tool; a piston disposed deeper on the proximal side of the spindle than the collet chuck and configured to urge the collet chuck by the pressure of a fluid supplied from the proximal side of the spindle in the direction from the proximal side toward the distal end side of the spindle so that the collet chuck unclamps the cutting tool; a spool valve provided in the piston and configured to open thanks to centrifugal force at the time when the spindle is turned, so as to supply the fluid fed from the spindle side to the cutting tool.

A machine tool includes: a spindle head; a spindle rotatably supported on the spindle head; a chuck unit configured to chuck a tool inserted in an axis direction of the spindle; a tool holder configured to hold the tool attached to the chuck unit; and a rotary arm configured to move the tool holder to a reachable position of the spindle. The tool holder is supported on the rotary arm by a support mechanism, and the support mechanism includes a displacement following mechanism configured to support the tool holder on the rotary arm in a manner to be capable of displacing the tool holder in a direction intersecting an axis of the tool.

A precision clamping system having a collet having a tool receptacle and which includes a chuck body formed from a single part, on whose first end a connecting piece is formed, which is directly connectable to a machine spindle of a drilling machine, and on whose second end facing away from the first end a collet receptacle is formed for receiving the collet. The connecting piece is designed in such a way that a form-fitting connection to the machine spindle is established for positive rotary entrainment of the chuck body, the collet receptacle has a conical design, and the collet is assigned a collet thread which may be screwed to a thread formed on the second end of the chuck body. A combination of a drilling machine having a precision clamping system and a system including a precision clamping system having multiple collets is also provided.

A chuck device includes: a cylindrical chuck including a first contact part on a first side and a second contact part on a second side, and configured to hold a bar-like workpiece; a tubular outer cylinder including a restriction part configured to restrict axial movement of the chuck by abutting on the first contact part; and a sleeve provided in an axially movable manner on the inner peripheral side of the outer cylinder, and including, on the first side, a pressing part axially driven to abut on the second contact part. The chuck includes a first tapered face in the first contact part, and a second tapered face in the second contact part. A first angle between the first tapered face and a center axis is equivalent to a second angle between the first tapered face and the center axis, or is smaller than the second angle.

The invention relates to a portable drilling and/or boring machine, for workpieces (8), in particular workpieces that make up aeroplane structures, such as airframes, wings, cabin, the machine comprising: a jig bushing (3) for guiding a machining tool; an expansible clip (4) for blocking the jig bushing in an opening of a screen (5) positioned on and secured to the workpiece, said screen constituting a drilling jig; and a means for moving the expansible clip (4) in order to clamp and unclamp the jig bushing and secure the machine relative to the screen; the means for moving the expansible clip (4) relative to the jig bushing (3) includes an electric motor (1) the torque and position of which are controlled.

A rapid change chuck adapter system includes a chuck adapter that is removably attachable to the chuck in place of removed chuck teeth. The chuck adapter is operable to engage a collet such that an operation of the chuck as if the chuck teeth were not removed operates the collet via the chuck adapter.
