A damper assembly for use with a non-rotating tool holder includes a hollow ram for supporting a non-rotating tool and a damper assembly mounted in the hollow ram for absorbing vibrations of the ram. The damper assembly includes a front plate and a rear plate, an upper tie rod and a lower tie rod extending between the front plate and the rear plate, and a damper mass mounted between the front plate and the rear plate. Ring dampers are mounted between the damper mass and the front and rear plates, and suspension springs are mounted between the upper tie rod and the lower tie rod. The suspension springs carry the weight of the damper mass so that the ring dampers do not have to carry the weight of the damper mass, and the damper mass is free to respond to vibrations in the ram.

A tool for a boring machine includes an elongated elongated body extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end being shaped to receive a cutting tip, and a cavity inside the body. The tool includes a lattice provided within the cavity and a powder provided in the cavity with the lattice.

A grooving blade for chip removing machining includes a cutting insert pocket and a damping arrangement fixed to the blade. The damping arrangement projects laterally with respect to at least one major surface of the blade. A grooving tool and a method of grooving a metallic workpiece are also disclosed.

A tool body includes a damping apparatus for damping vibrations in a machining tool having, besides the tool body, a member with at least one cutting edge to be secured to the tool body. The damping apparatus is arranged in an internal room of the tool body and includes a damper mass body with an axial bore and a central tube extending through the bore and which is rigidly secured to the damper mass body inside the through bore. A central tube is also at both ends thereof rigidly connected to a tool body fixed part and the central tube is made of a material with a spring property allowing the damper mass body to oscillate in the internal room perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the central tube.

The present application relates to a cutting tool (2), in particular a boring bar (2) for machining holes (16) separated from each other in an axial direction (4) by a given spacing distance (a), comprising a main body (10) extending in an axial direction (4) with an axis of rotation (R) with at least one cutting element (12), as well as with a number of guide elements (14) for guiding the main body (10) within a guide hole (16A), wherein the guide elements (14) for the axis of rotation (R) are separated by a guide radius (r1), wherein viewed in a cross-section, the main body (10) is divided into a functional region (19) and an eccentric region (20), wherein the cutting elements (12) and the guide elements (14) are arranged distributed over the circumference of the main body (10) over an angular region () of less than 180.

A damping apparatus is provided for damping vibrations of a tool-holding apparatus during machining of a workpiece. The damping apparatus comprises a damping body having two ends on which a respective damping device is arranged, which comprises a bearing pin rigidly connected to the damping body and a bearing bush that surrounds the bearing pin in the circumferential direction. An annular space filled with a damping fluid is arranged between the bearing pin and the bearing bush, which annular space is sealed in the axial direction by two elastically deformable sealing rings. The two sealing rings each comprise first and second abutment regions as well as a resilient intermediate region arranged therebetween. The first abutment region is bonded to the bearing pin and the second abutment region is bonded to the bearing bush. The intermediate region is elastically deformable relative to the bearing pin and the bearing bush.

A resonant frequency dampened through-coolant machine tool for selective mounting to machining systems for precision vibration free machining and has an elongate tool body. An internal dampening chamber is defined within the machine tool body and contains a resonant frequency dampening mass that is moveable within the dampening chamber. Axial and diametrical tunable dampening devices support the dampening mass in spaced relation with internal walls of the dampening chamber. A tuning piston is moveable within the machine tool body and has a tuning flange that is disposed in contact with one of the axial tunable dampening devices. The tuning piston has a pair of oppositely angulated surfaces that are selectively engaged by angulated drive heads of adjustment screws that are supported by threaded openings of the tool body and are rotated to selectively drive the tuning piston forwardly or rearwardly for precise tuning activity. Internal components of the machine tool define a coolant fluid flow passage to conduct a jet of coolant fluid to the metal cutting interface.

A tool chuck for clamping a tool in a machine tool, having a base body and a sleeve part protruding therefrom, which sleeve part forms a tool holder for fixing a tool shaft in a frictional, nonpositive fashion; a cavity in which a vibration damping component is accommodated is provided in the tool chuck.

An elongated tool holder includes a tool anti-vibration component having a component housing portion and an anti-vibration arrangement. The anti-vibration arrangement includes an enclosed interior component cavity formed in the component housing portion. The anti-vibration arrangement also includes a vibration absorber portion disposed within the component cavity that is integrally formed with the component housing portion to have unitary one-piece construction therewith. The vibration absorber portion includes a vibration absorbing mass and at least one elastic suspension member through which the vibration absorbing mass is connected to the component housing portion. The component cavity includes an oscillating space located between an inner surface of the component housing portion and the vibration absorber portion. The vibration absorbing mass is configured to oscillate within the oscillating space upon elastic deformation of the at least one suspension member. A cutting tool is provided with the tool holder.
