Abstract
A tool holder is attached to a spindle by the contacting of the projecting cone part and end surface of the tool holder with the recessed cone part and end surface of the spindle respectively. A toroidal cone section is provided on the inner side surface of the recessed cone part of the spindle so as to protrude inward. The diameter of the toroidal cone section is formed smaller than the diameter of the section of the projecting cone part of the tool holder that abuts the toroidal cone section.
Claims2
A spindle structure of a machine tool in which the projecting cone part and the end surface of a tool holder are brought into contact with, and separated from, the recessed cone part and the end surface of a spindle, respectively, so that said tool holder is supported by and removable from said spindle,
- wherein a toroidal cone section is integrally provided in one or more locations of the recessed cone part of said spindle in the axial direction of the spindle,
- and the diameter of said toroidal cone section is formed smaller than the diameter of the section of the projecting cone part of said tool holder that abuts said toroidal cone section.
