摘要:
A coupling system between a tool system module, such as, for example, a tool receptacle, and a machine tool, such as, for example, a spindle. In order to provide for rapid initiation and release of the connection between these components while making large axial forces available, this incorporates a clamping system with an operating rod, by means of which a wedge drive is controlled, with which clamping elements that are provided in one of the parts that are to be coupled can be forced essentially radially outwards into suitably configured recesses in the other part that is to be coupled. The clamping elements are formed from at least three clamp-like clamping claws that are arranged at equal angular intervals from each other, these being arranged essentially parallel to a centering extension of the tool receptacle; while being supported in a centering recess of the spindle a claw section of these clamping claws that in the coupled state lies radially within the centering extension these can be pivoted into a groove-like recess of the centering extension. This coupling system is distinguished by great flexibility with regard to potential use and by the fact that it can be produced economically.

An improved tool holding apparatus includes a collet chuck or a steel ball chuck that clamps a pull bolt, which defines the forward end portion of a tool, by resilient force applied thereto from a coned disc spring. The tool holding apparatus further includes a temporary clamping device which is buried in a sleeve to temporarily clamp the pull bolt. A clamping force applied by the temporary clamping device is set at such a level that an arm can draw the tool from a main spindle by gripping the rear end portion of the tool.

For changing the tool disk connected detachably and rotatably to the housing of a tool turret, a work-locating fixture is provided. The tool disk can be moved out of its work setting in which it is coupled with the drive shaft for rotation by a rotary drive. The tool disk movement is in the axial direction of the drive shaft away from the housing until the tool disk reaches transfer position. The drive shaft and a tie rod coupled to the drive shaft are then rotated by the rotary drive out of a connected setting into a detached setting. In the detached setting, the connection between the tie rod, which tie rod is slidable in its axial position relative to the housing and the tool disk, is disconnected, so that the tie rod can then be lifted out of the tool disk. Subsequently, the tie rod can be brought into engagement with another tool disk and then can be rotated by the rotary drive out of the detached setting into the connected setting, in which the tie rod is connected to positively lock in axial directions the tie rod with the tool disk. As a result of relative movement between the housing and the tool disk, the tool disk can be brought into its work setting and then can be clamped tightly.

An actuation member (B) supported by a housing (A) is actuated for clamping upwardly by means of a spring force and actuated downwardly for unclamping by means of an actuation means (D). A piston (11) is inserted into a cylinder (10) fixedly secured to the upper portion of the housing (A), and a liquid sealing chamber (12) is formed below the piston (11). The piston (11) is fixedly secured to the actuation member (B). When the actuation member (B) is held in the clamped condition, a liquid sealing valve (15) is closed so as to seal an oil (L) within the liquid sealing chamber (12). Whereby, in case that a pulling down force larger than the clamping spring force is imposed to the actuation member (B), a pressure generated within the liquid sealing chamber (12) serves to prevent the piston (11) from lowering, against the pulling down force.

A clamping assembly for releasably holding a tool holder having a shank includes a tool support member having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis. A locking mechanism is disposed in the axial bore for securing the tool holder to the support member. The locking mechanism includes a lock rod having first and second contact surfaces mounted in the support member. The lock rod moves along the longitudinal axis between a locked position and a release position. A wedge rod is mounted in the support member for reciprocal movement along an axis angularly disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis. The wedge rod has first and second wedge surfaces which incline in parallel fashion from opposite edges of the wedge rod. First and second force transmitting elements are interposed between the wedge surfaces of the wedge body and the contact surfaces of the lock rod. When the lock rod is moved in first direction, the first force transmitting element is moved outward with respect to the transverse axis into contact with the first support surface and pushes the lock rod towards a locked position. When the wedge rod is moved in a second direction, the second force transmitting element is moved outward with respect to the transverse axis into engagement with the second contact surface of the lock rod and moves the lock rod towards a release position.

A spindle device providing a hydraulic system for moving a drawbar in a tool holding direction. The drawbar extends through a spindle shaft and is slidably provided therein. A piston is fixedly connected to the drawbar, and a pressure chamber is defined by the spindle shaft, the drawbar and the piston. Upon application of hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber, the piston as well as the draw bar are moved in the tool holding direction. In one embodiment, at least one free piston is provided in the pressure chamber for dividing the same into first and second pressure chambers. The hydraulic pressure is applied to the first chamber to urge the free piston toward the second pressure chamber in which a liquid is hermetically accumulated. The liquid pressure within the second pressure chamber is increasable higher than the hydraulic pressure for urging the piston toward the tool holding direction with an increased force.

A device for locking a tool to a cutting machine. During a locking action a drawbar is rotated to bring a radial lock pin into registry with oppositely directed bayonet slots formed in a tool that has been inserted into a pocket in the end face of a tool holder; a spring acts on the drawbar to move the lock pin into the bayonet slots. The lock pin is carried on a nose element that is threaded onto the drawbar for drawing the lock pin toward the drawbar to achieve an axial lock force between the tool and the tool holder. Tapered frusto-conical surfaces on the tool and holder produce a self-centering tapered sticking lock action. The oppositely directed bayonet slots allow the tool to be forceably dislodged from the sticking taper when the drawbar is rotated in a reverse direction.

The actuating arrangement for a tool clamping device (1) has a clamping bar (3) which is axially displaceable in a clamping direction in a machine tool spindle (2) under the effect of a spring arrangement (11) and a firsst wedge transmission assembly (9) which is operable between the spindle and the clamping bar, with freely movable balls which bear respectively against three cone surfaces. They are disposed on a clamping sleeve (13) which is axially displaceable on the clamping bar, on a clamping ring (14) connected to the clamping bar (3), and on a support ring (15) which is arranged stationarily with respect to the spindle. The spring arrangement (11) acts by way of a pressure sleeve (12) which is axially displaceable on the clamping bar. Disposed between the pressure sleeve (12) and the clamping sleeve (13) is a second wedge transmission assembly (10) with freely movable balls which respectively bear against two cone surfaces which are inclined in mutually opposite relationship on the mutually facing ends of the two sleeves (12, 13) and successively against two further cone surfaces which are inclined in opposite relationship on the support ring (15). In the release stroke movement in opposite relationship to the clamping direction a piston-cylinder unit (7, 8) initially acts on the clamping sleeve (13) and then also on an annular shoulder (3a) of the clamping bar (FIG. 1).
