The invention relates to a clamping device (I) for clamping a component, more particularly for fastening a tool to a machine tool, comprising: a main body (2), which defines a clamping axis (X) and in the front end region of which a clamping region (3) for a component to be clamped, more particularly for a tool shaft, is located; a sensor module (IO), which is in the form of a construction unit; wherein the sensor module (IO) is inserted into the receiving space (9) and is retained therein.

A shrink-clamping cooling device at least for an, in particular contour-independent, tempering of tool holders and/or tools, which were in particular heated previously, with at least one cooling container, which forms a receiving space for receiving at least one tool unit comprising a tool holder and a tool, and with at least one climate-control apparatus, which is configured for essentially tempering, preferably actively cooling, a cooling gas or cooling gas mixture, in particular cooling air, which is contained in the receiving space of the cooling container, and/or a cooling gas or cooling gas mixture, in particular cooling air, fed to the receiving space of the cooling container, for the purpose of cooling the tool unit.

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.

A tool holder having a tool receptacle for chucking a tool shaft by frictional engagement, in which the tool receptacle comprises a plurality of annular clamping surfaces spaced apart from one another, which are intended for retaining the tool shaft by nonpositive engagement and are embodied on the inner circumference of a tube part, and the tube part has a recess in the material for varying its clamping action; the recess in the material is embodied by a plurality of annular channels extending in the circumferential direction, which are each separated from the tool receptacle by a resilient wall portion, which on its side facing away from the channel embodies the respective clamping surface.

The invention provides a clamping system (1) for a rotary tool (70), for example a milling cutter or drill. The clamping system (1) includes a base element (10), a collet (30) and a clamping nut (50), said clamping nut (50) friction-locking the rotary tool (70) within the base element (10) with the collet (30). In order to avoid a relative rotation of the base element (10) and the collet (30), the clamping system (1) has a form locking anti-twist protection which blocks a rotation of the collet (30) relative to the base element (10).

A tool holder for non-positively holding a rotatable tool by a receiving body containing a receiving opening with slits extending radially from the inner wall towards the exterior and running in the longitudinal direction of the receiving body. To permit a simple production process, the receiving body has an insert fixed into a receiving section.

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 induction heating device for a shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping of tools into and/or out of a tool holder, includes: an induction heating unit comprising one induction coil configured, in a shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping process, to heat-expand a portion of a tool holder arranged in a receiving region of the induction heating unit; a magnetic flux conducting unit comprising one magnetic flux conducting element for conduction of magnetic flux generated by the induction coil; and a bearing unit configured for a movable support of the magnetic flux conducting element, wherein a large portion of all points of the magnetic flux conducting element each have a respective movement path predetermined partially by the bearing unit, wherein each of the movement paths has an essential movement component oriented perpendicularly to a radial direction of the receiving region and at the same time perpendicularly to an axial direction of the receiving region.

A closed-loop machining system that includes a rotating spindle assembly having a body, a tool holder connected to the body, an ultrasonic machining module connected to the tool holder, and a power supply for powering the module; a processor for controlling the operation of the closed-loop machining system; a safety and compatibility bridge linking the ultrasonic machining module to the processor, wherein the safety and compatibility bridge further includes an electrical connection between the ultrasonic machining module and the processor; and at least one microprocessor located in or associated with the ultrasonic machining module for enabling and processing communication between the ultrasonic machining module and the processor.

The invention relates to a tool holding fixture (1) for rotationally driven tools (2), said tool holding fixture comprising a rotationally symmetrical holding body (3) which has a front clamping region (4) having a receiving opening (5) for a tool shank (6) of the tool (2), and a rear holding region (7) to be held in a work spindle of a machine tool. In order to achieve a reduced mass, a lower mass moment of inertia and at the same time high stiffness, a sleeve (11), made of a fiber reinforced plastic, is disposed in at least the front clamping region (4).
