Systems and methods for conduit deburring include rotational bits and/or supporting structure for reducing burrs on conduit or other pipe or tubing, which often result from cutting. Certain devices simultaneously act on an entire circumference of a tubular end opening. Other devices act on only a portion of a circumference of a tubular end opening, but are guided, registered, or oriented for travel along the circumference to cut a chamfer of a predetermined angle along an interior edge thereof.

HYDRO CHUCK
20220331885 · 2022-10-20 ·

A hydro chuck includes a shank portion provided on one end side in a longitudinal direction and having, on a leading end side thereof, a cylindrical chuck portion for gripping a gripped object and an operational portion provided on the other end side in the longitudinal direction and disposed in continuation from the shank portion. The shank portion is fixable by being inserted to a tool mount included in a machine tool. The chuck portion includes a sleeve gripping the gripped object and a fluid pressure chamber formed on an outer circumference side of the sleeve and filled with fluid, the chuck portion being configured such that in association with a rise of a pressure of the fluid inside the fluid pressure chamber, the sleeve is reduced in its diameter to grip the gripped object. The operational portion includes a communication passage communicated to the fluid pressure chamber and a pressurizing piston disposed in the communication passage and adjusting the pressure of the fluid inside the fluid pressure chamber.

CLAMPING SYSTEM
20170304912 · 2017-10-26 ·

The invention relates relates to a clamping system for clamping an object (1), in particular for clamping a cutting tool in a machine tool, comprising an accommodating bore (4) for accommodating the object (1) to be clamped, a threaded bore, which extends in the wall of the accommodating bore (4) transversely to the longitudinal axis (12) of the accommodating bore (4), and a clamping screw (6), which can be screwed in the threaded bore in order to selectively clamp or release the object (1) in the accommodating bore (4) in accordance with the screwing position of the clamping screw (6). The invention further relates to an intermediate element (9), which is arranged between the clamping screw (6) and the object (1) such that the clamping screw (6) touches the object (1) to be clamped (1) not directly, but rather indirectly by means of the intermediate element (9). According to the invention, the threaded bore is preferably arranged eccentrically in relation to the accommodating bore (4).

A RIGID MODULAR HOLDING SYSTEM WITH RADIAL AND AXIAL COMPENSATION
