This method, for controlling a machine tool using a tool holder to which a coolant pipe is attached, includes: a step of detecting, in response to a signal indicating that a tool is prepared on a tool loading station of the machine tool, whether or not an abnormality has occurred in attaching the coolant pipe to the tool holder of the tool while the tool holder is at the tool loading station; and a step of issuing an alarm when the abnormality is detected in the step of detecting the occurrence of the abnormality.

A core drill includes a housing, a first handle extending from the housing and defining a gap between the handle and the housing, a motor supported within the housing, and a battery removably coupled to the housing and configured to provide power to the motor. The battery has an output voltage greater than 40 volts. The core drill further includes a spindle configured to rotate about a rotational axis in response to torque received from the motor and a fluid delivery system configured to supply fluid to the spindle. The fluid delivery system includes a valve operable to regulate a flow of fluid to the spindle and an auxiliary handle removably coupleable to the housing at each of a first mounting point and a second mounting point.

In a method for operating a machine tool, a machine-specific flow resistance and a respective tool-specific flow resistance are ascertained for various tools. Tool-specific regulator parameters for regulating a pump of a coolant lubricant device are computed on the basis of the machine-specific flow resistance and the tool-specific flow resistance of the tool chucked in a tool spindle. Subsequently, the machine tool is operated using the tool-specific regulator parameters. In this way, a rapid and exact feed of coolant lubricant to the machining point of the respective chucked tool is enabled in a simple and flexible manner.

The cutting fluid supply device of a machine tool includes a storage tank of a cutting fluid, a cutting fluid discharge port which discharges the cutting fluid, at least one pump which feeds the cutting fluid to the cutting fluid discharge port, a first filter, a second filter which has filter performance different from the first filter, a path switching unit which switches the paths of the cutting fluid and a control unit, and the control unit controls the pump and the path switching unit so as to switch, as the paths, to a first path along which the cutting fluid is fed without being passed through the filters, a second path along which the cutting fluid is passed through the first filter and is fed and a third path along which the cutting fluid is passed through the second filter and is fed.

A tool drive with spindle shaft for a chip-forming machining includes at least one electromagnetic axial actuator and a control and/or regulation apparatus for the operation of the axial actuator for changing the position of the spindle shaft along the longitudinal axis, wherein the control and/or regulation apparatus is designed to drive the axial actuator for the generation of microvibration movement of the spindle shaft, independently of and superimposable on a feed movement, in order to affect the chip size and chip shape of the removed material, wherein at least one axial magnetic bearing and/or one linear motor is provided as at least part of the axial actuator, wherein the regulation and/or control apparatus includes a memory unit and/or a function generation unit, and is configured to specify setpoint values of the oscillation curve of the microvibration movement depending on geometrical and or physical data of the workpiece and/or process variables that are measured or determined indirectly and/or control inputs, so that the control and/or regulation apparatus is configured to adjust an axial microvibration movement of the spindle shaft, independently of and superimposed on a feed movement, in such a way as to affect the chip size and chip shape of the removed material created when drilling.

A cutting processing system includes: a spindle mounted with a cutting tool in which a lubrication discharge path is formed along the central axis thereof for rotating the cutting tool; a lance provided inside the spindle in order to supply oil and air to the cutting tool; and a rotary union mounted on the end portion of the spindle for supplying the oil and the air to the lance in a non-mixed state.

A spindle unit for machine tools that includes a working spindle rotationally bearing-mounted in axially spaced spindle bearings in a spindle case, and an electric driving motor. The working spindle includes at its head side a clamping device for a tool and at its rear side a non-rotating ring cylinder for activating said clamping device via a rotating tie rod, and rotational bushing for supplying said tool with cooling and/or lubricating agents through a hydraulic conduit extending longitudinally through said working spindle. At least a segment of the non-rotating ring cylinder may be received in the rear end portion of said working spindle.
