Latest Patents

Ammann's latest patents include a pneumatic spindle designed with means to direct the bearing air towards the tool-holding collet. This innovative spindle features a moving part that is supported by aerostatic bushes on cushions of air generated by a jet of compressed air. The air circulates continuously along the air gaps between the bushes and the moving part, exiting through a co-axial aperture formed in a flange. Directing elements attached to the flange collect the air and cause it to adopt an outward direction of motion that is tangential to the terminal part of the tool-holding collet.

Another significant patent is for a spindle with an axially acting collet-opening device. This spindle is designed for high rotational speeds and includes a tool-holding taper collet with radial slits. The collet is kept closed by pressing it axially against a complementary-shaped seat using precompressed elastic elements. The collet can be opened by applying an axial force to compress the elastic elements further.
