A tool holder (100) comprising: an outside section (10) connected and fixed to a main shaft housing; a rotation input section (20) that is gripped by the main shaft and caused to rotate at a first rotation speed r1; a rotation output section (40) that has the rotational force from the rotation input section (20) transmitted thereto and rotates at a second rotation speed r2 that is different from the first rotation speed r1; a slider (60) that is moved in a first direction that intersects the rotational axis (Os) of the main shaft, as a result of the force from the rotation output section (40); a cutting edge (70) that is moved in the first direction by the slider (60) and is rotated by the rotation input section (20); and a detection mechanism (90) for detecting that the cutting edge (70) is at the origin position.

A drive system for driving a chuck device includes a controller and a switching valve, which is a 5-port servo valve, switching the state of supply of compressed air to the chuck device based on a valve command signal from the controller. During switching of first and second fingers from a closed position to an open position, when the axial position of a piston reaches a switch point, which is a predetermined distance short of a target position corresponding to a freely selected intermediate position of the first and second fingers, the switching valve is opened at a third opening for a predetermined period and then switched to be opened at a fourth opening so that supply and discharge of compressed air are stopped. As a result, the first and second fingers stop in the intermediate position.

Provided is a processing tool capable of sliding a tool relative to a shank with a simple structure, to which a tool holder is detachably attached. The processing tool to which the tool is detachably attached, includes: a body; a spindle including tool holder holding hole, a first anti-rotation body holding hole; a cover including a pressing surface and a relief portion; a tool holder detachably inserted into the tool holder holding hole, the tool holder including a first anti-rotation groove, a tool holding hole, and a first spring holding hole, an anti-rotation body movable between the first anti-rotation groove and the pressing surface, the anti-rotation body accommodated in the relief portion when the cover is located at the detachable position and the tool holder is removed from the tool holder holding hole; and an elastic member to urge the tool holder toward distal end.

A clamping device for clamping an article or workpiece to be balanced includes a clamping apparatus for clamping the article. The clamping apparatus has an adjusting device for adjusting the clamping diameter of a clamping body of the clamping apparatus for clamping the article on a placement surface. The clamping body has a disk-shaped spring element sprung in radial direction with a centrally disposed clearance forming at least one spring element cone. The clamping body also has a clamping element inserted into the clearance and having at least one corresponding clamping element cone. The adjusting device has an actuating device for displacing the clamping element relative to the spring element, for moving the cone surfaces of the clamping element cone and the spring element cone relative to one another and for consequently clamping and/or unclamping the spring element in radial direction by the cone surfaces.

A drive system for driving a chuck device including a piston and a pair of fingers to be opened and closed according to the displacement of the piston, includes a controller, a detection sensor to detect an axial position of the piston, and three-port servo valves to switch a state of supply of the fluid to the chuck device. A degree of valve opening is controllable based on a control signal input from the controller, and an amount of displacement of the piston and an amount of opening and closing of the fingers are controlled by changing the degree of valve opening. One of the 3-port servo valves is connected to a first cylinder chamber of the chuck device, and another of the 3-port servo valves is connected to a second cylinder chamber of the chuck device.

A finger includes a pair of overhanging portions that project out laterally from a main body portion. Outer peripheral surfaces of the overhanging portions are made up from five surfaces including upper surfaces, side surfaces, lower surfaces, first end surfaces, and second end surfaces. Crowning is applied to the intersections between these surfaces.

An ultrasonic spindle device with automatic tool changer is disclosed. The ultrasonic spindle device includes a housing member having an inner space along a longitudinal direction, a shaft member rotatably disposed in the inner space and having a hollow portion, an ultrasonic oscillation member disposed in the hollow portion and having a through hole, a drawbar member disposed in the hollow portion to move in a front-rear direction, a portion of the drawbar member being inserted into the through hole and passing through the ultrasonic oscillation member, a clamping member connected to a front end of the drawbar member and clamping a tool, a portion of the clamping member being disposed outside the housing member, a rotation means rotating the shaft member, and a cylinder member moving the drawbar member forward or backward along a longitudinal direction of the shaft member.

A shaft deburring device includes a tubular metallic shaft having a drill mount at a first end and a deburring collar at a second end. The deburring collar has a plurality of radially disposed grinding balls secured about an interior surface of the collar. An exterior surface of the deburring collar has a plurality of radially disposed bristles.

A clamping device includes a clamping chuck and a clamping element, which can be clamped thereto. The clamping chuck has a receiving opening for the clamping element and clamping members for clamping the clamping element in the receiving opening. The clamping element is elongated, while the clamping chuck is provided with an elongated receiving opening for the clamping element. A resiliently flexible centering element, which aligns the clamping element in response to the insertion into the receiving opening at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the receiving opening, is arranged on the clamping chuck in the insertion area of the receiving opening. Such a clamping device is suitable in clamping systems by means of which large to very large workpiece carriers can be clamped in the work area of a machine tool in a repeatably accurate manner.

In order to mill, drill, saw or the like in the offshore sector, subsea processing machines are used which comprise a tool holder with a change hub for receiving at least one rotary tool, such as for instance a milling cutter, saw, drill or the like. The tool holder preferably has a carrier body for receiving the tool hub, wherein the latter comprises a hub flange for receiving tools. The preferably centric hub ring of the change hub can be arranged on the carrier body of the tool holder and can be connected to the tool holder in such a manner as to be able to be detached and clamped by means of at least one locking apparatus.
