This machine tool has: a main shaft having a tool mounted on the tip thereof; a main shaft head that rotatably supports the main shaft; orthogonal triaxial linear feed shafts that move the main shaft and a table relative to one another; and a rotational feed shaft that is capable of changing the orientation of the rotational axis of the main shaft. The machine tool is provided with: a rotational feed shaft device that is not parallel to any of the linear feed shafts and that rotates the main shaft head around an inclined axis that intersects the rotational axis of the main shaft; and a main shaft head base that rotatably supports the main shaft head so that the point of intersection between the rotational axis and the inclined axis of the main shaft coincides with a defined reference point at the tip side of the main shaft.

A gear drive, such as for an actuator, is a right-angle drive where toothed outer ridge of a face gear is coupled to teeth of a motor output shaft, and a set of planetary gears are engaged with a central sun gear of the face gear. The sun gear and planetary gears are aligned with the motor output shaft. For instance the motor output shaft may be substantially in the same plane with the sun gear and the planetary gears. From another standpoint the axis of the motor output shaft may intersect the sun gear, as well as intersecting a volume that the planetary gears sweep through as the planetary gears engage the sun gear.

A drilling-milling device comprising a housing; a drive shaft; a spindle; and a brake. The drive shaft and the spindle being coupled to one another by a gear mechanism, and the brake being coupled to the spindle and a braking torque of the brake being transmitted to the housing.

According to an aspect of this disclosure, an ultrasonic machining apparatus may include a machining head disposed at an angle, a machining platform for mounting a component, and one or more actuators for imparting ultrasonic vibration on the component wherein the angled machining head operates on the component according to the angle of the machining head, a position of the component, and the ultrasonic vibration.

A newly configured centerpoint drill and a drill attachment device that can be attached to a conventional cordless drill include configurations that require a user's hand to be in direct alignment with the keyless chuck of the drill to enable a user or operator to apply maximum pressure or force during use of a drill to reduce time and effort spent by a user/operator.

The invention relates to a separating device which is used for machining of workpieces, preferably workpieces made from wood, wood materials, insulating materials or composite materials.

Rotating tool holder mountable on a revolving multi-station tool holder turret of a numerically controlled lathe or turning/milling center, the tool holder including a support body that is removably fixable to the turret and including a shaft that is rotatable around a rotation axis and releasably connectable to a drive of said turret, the tool holder further including a motorized drive arrangement that rotates a main body with respect to the support body around a rotation axis autonomously and independently of the rotation of the shaft, in order to position a seat of a cutting/drilling tool, provided on the main body, in a preset angular position.

A power tool is provided and may include a motor, an output shaft, a neck portion, and a collar portion. The output shaft may be driven by the motor. The neck portion may be configured to receive a removable attachment accessory. The neck portion may define a first diameter and may include a plurality of indexing features. The collar portion may be supported by the neck portion. The collar portion may include an outer circumferential surface defining a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. The outer circumferential surface may include at least one recess.

A method for joining or machining, in particular a friction stir welding method, using an apparatus, in which a tool, in particular a friction stir welding tool, is driven via a spindle with a spindle axis. To achieve high process reliability, even when the method is applied in poorly accessible positions, an adapter, in particular an angle head, is arranged between the spindle and the tool so that the tool axis about which the tool rotates does not coincide with the spindle axis. A force acting on the spindle is measured and the method is controlled depending on the force measured at the spindle. The apparatus for joining or machining, in particular for friction stir welding, includes a headstock with a spindle, which can be rotated about a spindle axis and a tool, in particular a friction stir welding tool, which can be driven about a tool axis by the spindle.
