An angle head holder has a steering assembly and a holder assembly rotatably mounted in the steering assembly. The holder assembly has a cutter spindle, a threaded rod, multiple balls, and a collet. The cutter spindle has a central hole and a first annular groove radially formed in the central hole at a position near a rear end of the cutter spindle. The threaded rod has a second annular groove aligning with the first annular groove to form a ball groove between the threaded rod and the cutter spindle. The balls are arranged in the ball groove. The collet is inserted in the central hole of the cutter spindle from a front end of the cutter spindle and is connected to the threaded rod with threaded connection.

An angle head holder is installed on a spindle having a positioning block mounted on its outer surface with a constraining groove. The angle head holder includes a body base, a driving shaft, a holder assembly, and a positioning device. The driving shaft and the holder assembly are disposed in the body base. The positioning device has a fixing ring and an adjusting assembly. The fixing ring is sleeved on the body base and has a receiving slot. The adjusting assembly has a connecting block, a positioning pin, and at least one lever pin. The connecting block is mounted to the fixing ring and has a receiving groove. The positioning pin protrudes out of the receiving groove, is limited by the constraining groove, and has a retaining groove. The at least one lever pin is mounted in the receiving slot and the retaining groove.

A power tool includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, and an output spindle rotatably supported relative to the housing about an axis. The motor is operable to drive the output spindle about the axis. The power tool includes a spindle lock assembly between the motor and the output spindle. The spindle lock assembly is adjustable between an unlocked state in which the output spindle is rotatable relative to the housing about the axis and a locked state in which the output spindle is rotationally fixed relative to the housing. The spindle lock assembly includes a first resilient member, positioned between the housing and the output spindle. The first resilient member is configured to at least partially absorb a torque impulse from the output spindle when rotating in a first direction and when the spindle lock assembly transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state.

An additive manufacturing machine that includes a wire supply including a wire drive configured to advance a wire at a wire feed rate and a wire heater configured to apply resistive heating to heat the wire. The additive manufacturing machine includes an additive head for emitting a laser beam to weld the wire to a substrate, a sensor configured to detect a weld parameter, and a controller operatively connected to the wire supply, additive head, and sensor. The controller is configured to determine a failure mode of the weld as the laser beam welds the wire to the substrate based at least in part upon the weld parameter. In response to determining the failure mode, the controller is configured to adjust at least one of the wire feed rate, the resistive heating, and a power of the laser beam as the laser beam welds the wire to stabilize the weld.

A vibration damping device for a machine tool spindle is provided. An annular support plate is mounted at a lower portion of a distal end of the spindle, a plurality of support bars is fixed to the support plate in a vertical direction and installed in a longitudinal direction of the spindle adjacent to an outer periphery of the spindle, a pair of weight disks stacked by a plurality of arc-shaped disks made of a tuned mass member is fixed to be in close contact with the outer periphery of the spindle, facing each other, and a damping sheet made of an elastic member is inserted between the outer periphery of the spindle and the weight disks. The vibration damping device of the present invention may maximize a vibration damping effect by installing the vibration damping device at a position closest to the spindle where a vibration occurs. Furthermore, the vibration damping device of the present invention may effectively attenuate a variety of vibration phenomena having various resonant frequencies of a machine tool spindle by constituting the vibration damping device in a plurality of modular types which have different resonant frequency bands, respectively.

A rotation brake for stopping rotation of a spindle assembly on a horizontal directional drill. The rotation brake comprises a brake lock that is actuated by a cylinder and spring to interact with a non-rotating brake cap and a rotating pinion, thereby stopping rotation of the pinion. The brake lock is removed from the pinion by applying pressurized fluid to a cylinder such that a cylinder rod moves the brake lock out of a cavity between the brake cap and the pinion. Upon removing fluid pressure from the cylinder, a compressed spring moves the brake lock back to into the cavity, preventing rotation.
