Abstract
An adjusting device 17 for fine adjustment of a cutting support 14, which is adjustable on a basic body 12 of a cutting tool 10, relative to the basic body 12, with an adjusting screw 63 which determines the position of the cutting support 14 relative to the basic body 12. The adjusting device 17 comprises a threaded bushing 61 with which the set screw 63 is screwed and which has a wall segment 66 which is elastically deformable transversely to the socket axis 70, and a pressure element 64 arranged laterally of the threaded bushing 61 which presses the wall segment 66 against the set screw 63.
Claims13
A tool that provides for finely adjusting at least one insert holder adjustably held on a base body of the tool relative to the base body, the tool comprising:
- a threaded drive,
- a threaded sleeve,
- at least a first pressure pin,
- at least a first threaded bush,
- at least a first adjusting screw, and
- at least a first pressure element,
- the threaded sleeve is threaded with the threaded drive,
- the threaded sleeve is non-rotatable,
- rotation of the threaded drive causes axial movement of the threaded sleeve,
- the threaded sleeve comprises at least a first slanted surface,
- the first slanted surface is slanted relative to a rotational axis of the tool,
- a first portion of the first pressure pin is in contact with the first slanted surface whereby axial movement of the threaded sleeve causes radial movement of the first pressure pin,
- the first adjusting screw is threaded with the first threaded bush,
- the first adjusting screw is prevented from moving axially inward at least in part by the pressure pin,
- rotation of the first adjusting screw causes movement of the first threaded bush along an axis of the first threaded bush,
- the first threaded bush comprises at least a first wall segment that is elastically deformable transverse to the axis of the first threaded bush,
- the first pressure element is arranged to a side of the first threaded bush, and
- the first pressure element is configured to selectively press the first wall segment against the first adjusting screw.
