Tool holder assembly mountable on a machine spindle having a spindle coolant channel
A tool holder assembly includes a holder body, a pull stud and a flow adjustment unit. The holder body has a holder coolant channel extending through a first end and a second end thereof. The pull stud has an insertion portion, a grip portion, and a longitudinal passage extending through the insertion portion and the grip portion, and fluidly communicating with the holder coolant channel. The flow adjustment unit includes a connection tube that extends into the longitudinal passage and projects outwardly from the grip portion, a resilient member urging the connection tube to project outwardly from the grip portion, and a flow guide channel extending through the connection tube and fluidly communicating with the holder coolant channel.
WHIRLING DEVICE
The whirling device comprises a retaining ring extending around a ring axis and a central opening and having at least one receiving area for a machining element for machining rod-shaped material in the area of the central opening. A coolant supply comprises a supply sleeve which is arranged on the retaining ring via a rotary bearing and comprises a coolant connection and a supply area adjoining a connection area of the retaining ring. Starting from at least one inlet opening in the connection area of the retaining ring, at least one passage leads through the retaining ring to at least one outlet opening which faces the central opening of the retaining ring and is designed for a machining element in a receiving area. No space is required for the coolant supply between the retaining ring and an assigned lathe.
Adaptive R744 Minimum Quantity Cooling Lubrication System
This application presents a method and apparatus for cooling a through-ported cutting tool with a source of liquid CO.sub.2 with a compressed air line with a compressed air inlet and multiple CO.sub.2 injection capillary segments; the capillary segments interconnect to the same source of liquid CO.sub.2 and can have high pressure valves and throttles; the throttles have different sizes; a first capillary ends near the cutting tool; the second capillary ends near the compressed air inlet. Using a particular sequence of opening or closing the valves to the liquid CO.sub.2 to the capillaries, mixing with the compressed air provides and recycling the residual CO.sub.2, this invention provides for uniform and controlled cooling of the cutting tool within a certain temperature range.
Reducer sleeve with thru coolant flow and a cutting assembly using such reducer sleeve
Reducer sleeves are described herein. Reducer sleeves described herein comprise a reducer sleeve body having an axial forward end and an axial rearward end. The reducer sleeve body defines a longitudinal axis. Reducer sleeves further comprise a flange disposed at the axial forward end of the reducer sleeve body. The flange defines a first nozzle disposed at a first radial distance from the longitudinal axis and a second nozzle disposed at a second distance from the longitudinal axis. The reducer sleeve body defines a first trough extending from the axial rearward end to the axial forward end. The first trough is in communication with the first nozzle and the second nozzle, whereby coolant is able to enter the first trough and flow along the first trough and into the first nozzle and the second nozzle such that the coolant is ejected by the first nozzle and the second nozzle.
Rotating tool holder assembly for modulation assisted machining
Assemblies, apparatus, and methods are described for designing modulation tool holder assemblies and installations for modulation-assisted machining, and, in particular, for rotating machining applications that benefit from the sinusoidal modulation motion while cutting fluids are simultaneously applied through the tool. In addition, the design of rotating modulation tool holder assemblies and systems is described. In a tool holder assembly for modulation in a rotating spindle, the electric power and/or control signals are transferred from an external source to the modulation tool holder assembly installed in the rotating machine spindle. Similarly, the high-pressure cutting fluid is transferred from a stationary source to the rotating tool holder assembly for modulation.
Tool receptacle
The invention relates to a tool receptacle 1 comprising a receiving body 3, which has a receiving opening 5 for a tool shaft 6 of a tool and a first fluid supply structure 22, 33 and 35 for supplying fluid to the tool, said fluid supply structure extending through the receiving body 3. In order to allow a diversified supply of working fluids to the tool, a second fluid supply structure 23, 34 and 41, which is not connected with the first fluid supply structure 22, 33 and 35, extends through the receiving body 3, hereby allowing a fluid supply to the tool which is separate from the first fluid supply structure 22, 33 and 35.
Tool holding apparatus
A tool holding apparatus for interfacing a machine spindle receiver of a milling machine, which includes a holder nose connected to a holder body configured with a first divided section integrally connecting to a second divided section and a centralized axial bore for housing therewithin a tension bolt, a lock nut, and a thrust nut. The holder nose includes an axial bore incorporating a reverse-tapered configuration and three flat sectors to correspond with an equally configured shaft portion of a tool, whereupon the threaded attachment of the thrust nut to the holder nose furthers a locking arrangement of the tool within the axial bore to prevent inadvertent axial and rotational movement thereof during aggressive milling operations.
Tool holder with fluid supply
A tool holder is disclosed for holding a tool shaft of a tool, the tool holder having a receiving bore for receiving the tool shaft in a predetermined axial position, having a seal at an inner end of the receiving bore, and further comprising a coolant supply from a machine-side into a bore of the tool shaft, wherein the seal has an at least partially elastically deformable sealing element.
ROTARY TOOL AS WELL AS CARRIER AND CUTTING INSERT FOR SUCH A ROTARY TOOL
The invention relates to a rotary tool as well as to a carrier and a cutting insert of such a rotary tool. The carrier comprises a seat, which comprises several lateral surfaces, between which the cutting insert can be inserted. The cutting insert comprises, for each of the lateral surfaces, a contact surface which abuts against the respective lateral surface in an inserted state. At least one coolant channel is formed, which comprises a first partial channel and a second partial channel, which adjoins the first partial channel, wherein the first partial channel proceeds within the carrier up to an outlet opening, wherein the second partial channel proceeds within the cutting insert from an inlet opening up to a coolant outlet, wherein the outlet opening and the inlet opening form an interface for transferring coolant from the carrier to the cutting insert. The outlet opening is arranged in one of the lateral surfaces and the inlet opening is arranged in one of the contact surfaces.
ROTARY POWER TOOL
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.
