A machine tool includes: a movable body that supports a tool; a feed drive unit that feed-drives the movable body; a numerical control unit that controls the feed drive by the feed drive unit to perform cutting by the tool; an acceleration sensor that is provided on the movable body and detects acceleration of the movable body; and a command unit that outputs a stop command to stop driving of the feed drive unit to the numerical control unit when the acceleration of the movable body exceeds a threshold value set in advance on the basis of an output of the acceleration sensor. The command unit sets the threshold value to a first threshold value in a cutting control state, and sets the threshold value to a second threshold value lower than the first threshold value in a feed control in a non-cutting control state.

A rotation brake for stopping rotation of a spindle assembly on a horizontal directional drill. The rotation brake comprises a brake lock that is actuated by a cylinder and spring to interact with a non-rotating brake cap and a rotating pinion, thereby stopping rotation of the pinion. The brake lock is removed from the pinion by applying pressurized fluid to a cylinder such that a cylinder rod moves the brake lock out of a cavity between the brake cap and the pinion. Upon removing fluid pressure from the cylinder, a compressed spring moves the brake lock back to into the cavity, preventing rotation.

A C-axis unit for a machine tool, the C-axis unit comprising a bushing (134) adapted to be fixed to a unit support (121) of the machine tool; a head mounting platform (130) adapted to receive an operating head (40), the head mounting platform being supported by the bushing (134) and being rotatable relative to the bushing (134) around a vertical axis; a platform rotation motor (150) supported by the bushing (134) and configured to control the rotation of the head mounting platform (130); and a spindle motor (160) configured to control the rotation of a tool-carrying spindle (45) on the operating head (40) through a driving extension (163) arranged in a through-bore (133) obtained through the head mounting platform (130). The spindle motor (160) is fixed to and is rotationally integral with the head mounting platform (130).

A tool system includes a machine-proximal shank configured to be introduced into a driven tool receptacle and containing a device for transferring a rotating movement to be picked up from the driven tool receptacle. A tool-proximal shank is configured as a tool holder or to have a tool holder releasably connected thereto. A gear mechanism disposed between the machine-proximal shank and the tool-proximal shank is configured to transfer a rotating movement transmitted by the device in a reduced manner to the tool-proximal shank. At least one insert seat configured on the tool holder for receiving an interchangeable cutting insert is provided on an end face of the tool holder extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the tool holder. A method for machining a workpiece is also provided.

Apparatus, systems, and/or methods for adjusting belt tension in a material removal machine are disclosed. In some examples, the material removal machine includes a material removal tool secured on a spindle. A spindle pulley may be secured to the spindle, such that rotation of the spindle pulley causes the material removal tool to be rotated via the spindle. The material removal machine may further include a movable hub that retains the spindle, such that movement of the hub translated into movement of the spindle. Because the spindle pulley is securely attached to the spindle, movement of the hub may translate into movement of the spindle pulley. This movement of the spindle pulley may change a distance between the spindle pulley and an actuator pulley, thereby changing the tension in a belt connecting the spindle pulley and the actuator pulley.

An electrical tool includes a housing, a motor, a bearing set and a shock-absorbing element. The motor is disposed in the housing and has a driving shaft and a nut. The bearing set is arranged on a side of the motor and includes a bearing seat, a bearing and a tool spindle. The tool spindle has a slot disposed at one end thereof facing the motor, and another end thereof is disposed protrusively from the bearing seat. One end of the driving shaft is combined in the slot through the nut. The shock-absorbing element sheathes the nut and is attached to an inner wall of the slot to reduce the vibration and noise during the operation of the electrical tool.

A tool holder which is provided with a plurality of different free jet turbines so that it can be operated, depending on the machining task, with different working rotational speeds and in different operating points.
