Title:
TOOL FIXTURE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6114830
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A tool mounting between a cutting tool, for example a drill, and a machine spindle, comprising a tool element (10) and a tightening device (38). The tool element (10) consists of a body (11) and an expandable attachment tap (13). The attachment tap (13) is formed with grooves (23,24) to receive a gripping implement of a tool interchanging mechanism and with a through opening (25,28) to receive an end portion (50) of a pull rod. The tightening device (38) comprises a pull rod (41) movably mounted in an inner pipe (40) and forwardly projecting resilient portions (52,53). During changing to an other tool the opening (25, 28) at the attachment tap (13) is moved over the end portion (50) by means of the gripping implement (55) while a wall of the opening of the attachment tap (13) slip against the resilient portions (52,53) until a stop pin (35) on the tool shank engages the end surface of the end portion (50) and the resilient portions snap into recesses (31,32) in the hole wall. The gripping implement is then lifted away and the attachment tap (13) is retained in a pre-centered position whereafter the pull rod (41) is tightened for clamping of the tool shank in the inner pipe (40) during two further centering procedures.
