An extraction apparatus (20) for a cutting machine (10). The extraction apparatus (20) comprises first and second portions (21, 22) rotatable one relative to the other for angular movement between two opposed positions. A slidable coupling (27) defines a fluid flow path (29) for fluid communication between the first and second portions (21, 22) during said angular movement between the two opposed positions, whereby fluid can flow from the interior (45) of the first portion (21) into the second portion (22). The slidable coupling (27) comprises first and second coupling sections (61, 62) slidable one with respect to the other. The second coupling section (62) is hollow to define an open interior (63). The first coupling section (61) defines a duct (65) opening onto the interior (63) of the second coupling section (62), whereby the duct (65) and the interior (63) of the second coupling section (62) cooperate to define the fluid flow path (29).

A rotary union includes a housing forming a bore and a piston bore having an open end and disposed at a radially offset distance with respect to the bore. The piston bore is fluidly isolated from the bore. A seal carrier is slidably disposed within the bore, and includes an actuation arm extending radially outwardly relative to the bore such that it overlaps the piston bore. A piston slidably disposed in the piston bore is extendible to releasably abut the actuation arm and urge the seal carrier to displace relative to the bore when the piston displaces relative to the piston bore.

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.

Provided is a chuck device that allows appropriate and easy setting of a discharging direction of working fluid. A chuck device configured to be attached to a spindle of a machine tool for gripping a cutting tool, in which inside the chuck device, there are provided a passage in which a working fluid flows and a discharge opening provided at a leading end opening of the passage through which the working fluid is discharged toward to the cutting tool. A discharging direction of the working fluid from the discharge opening is set opposite to a rotational direction of the cutting tool and set with a tilt of an angle calculated by a mathematical formula to a tangential direction of a rotation trajectory of the center of the discharge opening relative to a direction of an axis of the cutting tool.

A spindle of a drilling tool includes a socket portion having a first axial length (a1) of a first diameter (d1) for receiving and attaching a drill bit to the spindle. The spindle includes a fluid conduit having a second diameter (d2) narrower than (d1) for conveying a fluid to the socket portion. An interface space with diameter (d1) is formed between the fluid conduit and the drill bit when the drill bit is installed in the socket portion. A fluid conveyor, having a third diameter (d3) narrower than (d1), connects the fluid conduit to the drill bit to avoid fluid gathering in a periphery of the interface space. The fluid conveyor includes a first O-ring abutting a mouth of the fluid conduit, a second O-ring abutting a mouth of a fluid channel of the drill bit, and a spring between the first and second O-rings.

A tool holder has a main body and a holding pin onto which a rotary tool having a corresponding holding bore can be placed. At least one channel for transporting coolant or lubricant, the channel leading to the outer circumference of the holding pin, is arranged in the tool holder. In order to enable cooling of the cutting edges of the rotary tool without great production complexity, at least one longitudinal groove for conducting the coolant or lubricant in a longitudinal direction of the holding pin is arranged on the outer circumference of the holding pin.

A rotary tool includes a shank, cutting portion, coolant inlet, coolant outlet, and channel system. The cutting portion is connected to and extends from the shank. The cutting portion includes a cutting edge. The coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are disposed in the shank. The channel system is contained in the rotary tool and is a closed circulation loop system such that the coolant is contained within the channel system as the coolant is circulated within the rotary tool. The channel system includes a delivery path and a return path. The delivery path is fluidly connected to the coolant inlet and includes a shape corresponding to a shape of the cutting edge. The return path is fluidly connected to the coolant outlet and to the delivery path at a location in the cutting portion of the rotary tool.

A processing apparatus includes: an apparatus main body including a base portion that is movable and a liquid supply unit that supplies a liquid to the base portion; a chuck portion connected to the base portion and including an attachment hole that is open outward; and a processing tool detachably mounted on the chuck portion. The processing tool includes a cylinder fitted into and held by the attachment hole, a drive unit disposed inside the cylinder and including a rotating body to be rotated around a central axis by the liquid introduced from the liquid supply unit via the base portion, a rotary shaft protruding outward from an inside of the cylinder along the central axis to rotate integrally with the rotating body, and a tool portion connected to a tip of the rotary shaft.

A spray nozzle assembly for a machining apparatus includes an outer ring extending from a first axial inlet end to a first axial outlet end. The outer ring contains a flow distribution section that extends inwardly from the ends of the first axial inlet towards the first axial outlet and terminating therebetween. The outer ring includes a diffuser section extending inwardly from the first axial outlet end towards and ends at the flow distribution section. The outer ring has a first interior area defined by a first interior surface which contains a diffuser surface aligned with the diffuser section and multiple flow passages formed within and aligned with the flow distribution section and overlaps into the diffuser surface, and at least one guide surface and an abutment surface; and an inner member extending into the first interior area.
