A tool holder includes a drawing screw and a stopper member. The drawing screw is positioned in an intermediate hole. A rear end face of a head of the drawing screw faces a boundary wall surface, and a top end of a shaft of the drawing screw is screwed in a rear end of a collet. The stopper member is positioned in an annular space between an outer peripheral surface of the shaft of the drawing screw and an inner peripheral surface of the intermediate hole. The stopper member faces a front end face of the head of the drawing screw, and limits movement of the head toward a top end of the tool holder. The drawing screw and the stopper member are inserted and assembled from a top end opening of a collet holding hole.

Tool holder and method for assembling the same

A tool holder includes: a collet chuck main body having a tapered hole formed in its tip end portion so as to be tapered toward an axial rear end; a tapered collet having a tool insertion hole that extends in an axial direction, a main tapered surface that fits in the tapered hole, and a tip end tapered surface positioned on an axial tip end side of the main tapered surface, and tapered toward an axial tip end; a cylindrical lock nut having internal threads that are screwed on external threads formed on an outer periphery of the tip end portion of the collet chuck main body, for reducing a diameter of the tool insertion hole by pressing the tapered collet into the tapered hole; a tip end tapered member having a tapered abutting surface that fits on the tip end tapered surface, the tip end tapered member being pressed toward the axial rear end by the lock nut; and a plain bearing positioned in a plane perpendicular to a direction in which the tip end tapered member is pressed by the lock nut, the plain bearing being inserted between the lock nut and the tip end tapered member.

Tool holder

A tool holder is equipped with a tip run-out correction mechanism for correcting run-out of the tip of the tool. The tip run-out correction mechanism includes an annular stepped portion formed on a cylindrical support portion of a holder body; a ring member rotatably fitted onto the annular stepped portion; an eccentric cam disposed within the ring member, the eccentric cam extending radially through the ring member and being rotatable about a radially extending axis; and a pin disposed within the ring member to be movable along a direction parallel to the center axis of a flange portion of the holder body. One end of the pin is in contact with the eccentric cam, and the other end of the pin is in contact with a rear end face of a clamp sleeve which clamps a tool inserted into a chuck sleeve of the holder body. The eccentric cam is rotated so as to adjust press force that the pin applies to the rear end face of the clamp sleeve, to thereby elastically deform a base end portion of the chuck sleeve in a radial direction in such a manner that tip run-out of the tool approaches zero.

A wrench includes a wrench body having a ring portion and a handle portion. A retainer that holds a plurality of wedge members is disposed inside the ring portion. Wedge guide grooves are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the ring portion. Each of the wedge guide grooves has a free region which maintains the corresponding wedge member in a free state, and left-hand and right-hand wedge regions each of which maintains the corresponding wedge member in a caught state. The wrench is provided with a changeover mechanism for moving the retainer to a position at which the wedge member faces the corresponding free region, a position at which the wedge member faces the corresponding left-hand wedge region, or a position at which the wedge member faces the corresponding right-hand wedge region.

Wrench

A chuck includes a holder body, a clamp sleeve, and a large number of needle rollers. The holder body has a shank portion, a flange, and a chuck sleeve. The clamp sleeve is fitted onto the outer circumference of the chuck sleeve such that the clamp sleeve is rotatable and axially movable relative to the chuck sleeve. The needle rollers are disposed between the chuck sleeve and the clamp sleeve over the entire circumference. The clamp sleeve is rotated to cause the needle rollers to revolve spirally along the outer circumferential surface of the chuck sleeve while rotating about their own axes in order to decrease and restore the diameter of the chuck sleeve. A thrust member is disposed between the end surface of the flange opposite the shank portion and a corresponding end surface of the clamp sleeve.

Chuck

In order to provide a tool holder which greatly reduces frictional resistance between a locknut and a taper collet, and eliminates a twisting of the taper collet during tightening of the locknut, in a tool holder comprising a locknutwhich pushes a taper colletinto a tapered holeof a collet chuck bodyto chuck a cutting tool, between a reference endof the tape colletand a collet supporting portionopposed thereto, interposed is a bearing washerto reduce frictional resistance between both contact surfaces. To both surfaces of this bearing washer, namely, to the respective surfaces which come into contact with the reference endand collet supporting portion, surface treatment by any of ion nitriding, DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, and TiN coating is applied.

An end mill chucking structure for chucking an end mill having a relatively small diameter and used, for example, for deep milling of a die. The end mill chucking structure includes an end mill holder and an end mill. A holder body has a taper hole formed therein. The end mill includes an end mill body and a cutting tip provided at an end portion of the end mill body. A portion of the end mill body located opposite the cutting tip serves as a tapered shank portion. The shank portion and the rest of the end mill body are bounded by a shoulder extending outward from the surface of the shank portion. The shank portion is press-fitted or shrink-fitted into the taper hole such that the end face of the holder body abuts the shoulder of the end mill body, through application to the holder body of heat at a temperature lower than a conventional shrink-fitting temperature.
