The present disclosure provides a jaw assembly for mounting to a lathe spindle. The jaw assembly comprises a first jaw set with at least one axially extending jaw portion which comprises a channel extending in the same axial direction as the jaw portion, and a second jaw set locatable within and releasably attached to the first jaw set via at least one fastener locatable in the channel.

A deburring mechanism with a rotatable countersink, a cylindrical shaft, a conical cutting contour and a cylindrical cutting edge configured to mount to a driven workstation shaft so that when a workpiece comes in contact with the cutting edge, burrs are removed from the workpiece. The deburring mechanism has a safety device attached to the shaft and adjacent the countersink. The safety device has a rotationally symmetric body with openings through which removed burrs move, a circular outer guard, a mounting portion with legs and a hexagonal mounting contour corresponding with an interior bore of the driven shaft and configured such that a driving connection of the countersink only occurs when the safety device is assembled and overlaps the transition area with a protective contour.

A reducing sleeve for fastening a machining tool in a tool holder is described. Said reducing sleeve comprises a reducing sleeve body, which comprises a first tool-side end and a second tool holder-side end. In addition, at least one coolant supply channel is provided in the reducing sleeve body. Furthermore, a multifunctional interface is arranged at the second end and is designed for coupling to a sealing unit and a safety unit. Additionally presented is a modular system for providing a reducing sleeve assembly, which comprises such a reducing sleeve, a sealing unit, and a safety unit. In addition, a machining assembly with a tool holder, a reducing sleeve, and a machining tool is presented.

A quick-release tool connecting rod is provided, including: a rod body, a quick-release mechanism and a second sleeve member. The rod body includes an inner space extending in an axial direction and a through hole communicated with the inner space. The quick-release mechanism includes a push rod received within the inner space, a locking member disposed within the through hole and a first sleeve member sleeved to the rod body. The first sleeve member is movable relative to the rod body in the axial direction to drive the push rod to move. The second sleeve member is co-movably sleeved to the first sleeve member, and the first sleeve member is partially embedded within an inner peripheral wall of the second sleeve member. The first sleeve member has a first hardness, and the second sleeve member has a second hardness which is smaller than the first hardness.

A reducing sleeve for fastening a machining tool in a tool holder is described. The reducing sleeve includes a reducing sleeve body, which has a first tool-side end and a second tool holder-side end. In addition, at least one coolant supply channel is provided in the reducing sleeve body. In one embodiment, a safety unit with a pull-out safety geometry has a sealing element, such as an O-ring, to selectively direct coolant through coolant holes in the safety unit and the at least one coolant supply channel or alternatively through a central coolant channel. In this embodiment, a multifunctional interface, and additional O-ring and a sealing unit are not required. A modular reducing sleeve assembly includes a reducing sleeve and a safety unit as separate parts. In addition, a machining assembly including a tool holder, a reducing sleeve, and a machining tool is described.

A device for heating adapters for mounting tools for use in machine tools. The device comprises a base part in which an adapter for inserting or removing a tool is arranged such that the insertion direction of the tool extends towards the base part. The device also comprises a heating part designed for heating the adapter arranged in the base part, the base part and the heating part being displaceable relative to one another in the insertion direction of the tool. The base part comprises a mounting device for retaining the adapter in a fixed manner on the base part during heating. The adapter and the mounting device are provided with elements for interlocking interaction for retaining the adapter on the base part.

A rapid change chuck adapter system includes a chuck adapter that is removably attachable to the chuck in place of removed chuck teeth. The chuck adapter is operable to engage a collet such that an operation of the chuck as if the chuck teeth were not removed operates the collet via the chuck adapter.

A tap holder having a simple structure and high runout accuracy is provided. A tap holder includes: a body having a collet holder hole having an opening toward distal end; a tap collet received in the collet holder hole, the tap collet having a tap mounting hole located at a distal end portion, and a sleeve hole located at a basal end portion; a torque transmission mechanism that transmits rotation of the body to the tap collet; a first elastic body disposed between the body and the tap collet to urge the tap collet toward distal end; a sleeve disposed to the body by received in the sleeve hole to prevent the tap collet from slipping off toward distal end; and a second elastic body disposed between the sleeve and the tap collet to urge the tap collet toward basal end.

The present invention provides a lathe having a speeder device to increase the speed of a workpiece to be worked on by the lathe as compared to the speed of a workpiece to be worked on by the lathe without the use of the speeder device. The speeder device includes a torque arm, a means for stopping rotation of the torque arm, a planetary gearset assembly, an output spindle assembly, and a collet assembly. The means for stopping rotation of the torque rod is secured to a first end of the torque rod and the planetary gearset assembly is operatively connected to a second end of the torque rod. The output assembly is operatively connected to the planetary gear assembly, and the collet assembly holds the workpiece and is operatively connected to the spindle assembly.

A clamping device for a tool or workpiece has a draw-in collet and a coupling element. The clamping device has first and second bayonet closures with which the draw-in collet can be locked and braced against the coupling element. The first and second bayonet closures are brought into engagement at the same time, as a result of which the draw-in collet is locked against the coupling element using the first bayonet closure, and the draw-in collet is braced against the coupling element using the second bayonet closure. First, the draw-in collet is pushed into the coupling element with partial actuation of the bayonet closures. Then the draw-in collet is rotated relative to the coupling element with a further partial actuation of the bayonet closures, and finally the draw-in collet is withdrawn to thereby lock the first bayonet closure and to brace the second bayonet closure.
