A clamping device for holding a workpiece, in particular a cutting tool, during machining in a grinding machine, wherein peripheral grinding of the workpiece is performed by means of a particularly approximately cup-shaped grinding wheel, wherein the clamping device comprises a support unit provided to be mounted on the grinding machine, a clamping unit comprising a clamping anvil supported in a clamping anvil holding element and translationally drivable to apply a clamping force parallel to a clamping axis, and a drive unit comprising a drive anvil supported in a drive axis and rotationally drivable for rotary orientating the workpiece by means of the drive axis. The clamping unit and the drive unit are provided as individual components, which are releasably or slidably attached to the support unit to form a workpiece spindle headstock of the grinding machine.

Modular clamping device

The present invention relates to a laser machining system () with a control unit (), a laser ablation apparatus () and a gas supply (), wherein the laser ablation apparatus () comprises a laser () for generating a laser beam (), a laser head () including a re-directing arrangement () for directing the laser beam () of the laser () onto a surface () of a workpiece () to be machined, wherein the workpiece () is disposed in an accommodation device (), placed in a working chamber (), wherein a positioning arrangement () is provided for a relative movement between the laser head () and the workpiece () and wherein the working chamber () comprises at least one inlet () and at least one outlet () for a gas. The gas supply () of the laser machining system () is configured to provide a flow of the gas in the working chamber () and a temperature system () is provided to adjust the temperature of the gas flow ().

Thermo-concept for a machine tool

A method for multistep machining a cutting tool includes defining a data set of the cutting tool, positioning the workpiece in a machining device, determining a data set of the workpiece to be machined, defining at least one machining program based on the defined data set in relation to the determined data set of the workpiece, subjecting the workpiece to the at least one machining program, to obtain intermediate geometries of the workpiece, determining a second data set by measuring means including the intermediate geometries of the workpiece and transferring the machined workpiece to a second machining device. Furthermore, the steps of positioning, determining data set of the workpiece, defining machining program, subjecting the workpiece to the machining program, determining a second data set and transferring to the second machining device are repeated until the workpiece takes on the shape of the target geometries.
