Tool clamping device

An apparatus comprising a tool clamping device comprising:

• a tool holder (3) configured to hold a tool and be inserted into a socket of a tool carrier (1), the tool holder comprising:
• a support face (15) associated with the tool carrier's support face (2),
• one of:
• the tool holder (3) further comprises at least one adjustment element (17) protruding axially in an axial direction beyond the tool holder's support face (15), wherein the at least one adjustment element (17) is configured to bear on at least one bearing point associated with the adjustment element formed on the tool carrier (1) when the tool holder is inserted into the socket, wherein the at least one bearing point is arranged on a wall (38) of at least one receiving groove (35, 36) formed on the tool carrier, or
• the tool holder (3) further comprises a wall (38) of at least one receiving groove (35, 36) formed on the tool holder, wherein the wall (38) includes at least one bearing point configured to, when the tool holder is inserted into the socket, bear at least one adjustment element (17) protruding axially beyond the tool carrier's (1) support face;
• devices configured to fasten the tool holder to the tool carrier, the devices comprising at least two anchoring rods (16), which are arranged at right angles to the support face (15) of the tool holder or the tool carrier and are arranged on the tool holder (3) or the tool carrier (1) at a distance from one another and separately from the at least one adjustment element,
• a clamping device (60) provided on the tool carrier or the tool holder and, when the tool holder is inserted into the socket, is configured to act on the anchoring rods (16) during a clamping operation and to exert an axial clamping force onto said anchoring rods,
• wherein the tool holder (3) during the clamping operation is held free from transverse forces influencing the bearing of the adjustment element (17) at the bearing point thereof on the wall (38) of the at least one receiving groove (35, 36), and
• wherein the clamping device (60) comprises an actuation device configured to generate an axial clamping force acting on the at least two anchoring rods (16) jointly by pressing the two support faces (2, 15) towards one another by the generated axial clamping force.
