A facing head as well as a method for inserting a tool into and/or removing a tool from a tool holder device of the facing head. The facing head has a spindle coupling device for exchangeably coupling with a spindle chuck of a working spindle of a machine tool. The facing head has a housing body at which or in which a facing slide is moveably supported in a guided manner. The facing slide supports the tool holder device. The tool holder device is hydraulically controllable. A hydraulic coupling that is mechanically and hydraulically coupled with an associated hydraulic control coupling of the housing body in a tool change position of the facing slide. Remote from the tool change position, the mechanical and hydraulic connection between the hydraulic coupling and the associated hydraulic control coupling is interrupted. In the tool change position a switching of the tool holder device between a hold condition holding the tool and a release condition releasing the tool can be carried out by a respective pressurization with hydraulic pressure.
A facing head for use in a machine tool that comprises at least one working spindle, the facing head comprising:
A method for clamping a tool in a tool holder device of a facing head that is arranged at a facing slide that is moveably supported in a guided manner at or in a housing body of the facing head and that can be moved by means of an adjustment device, the method comprising the following steps:
A method for releasing a tool arranged in a tool holder device of a facing head, wherein the tool holder device is arranged at a facing slide that is moveably supported in a guided manner at a housing body of the facing head and that can be moved by means of an adjustment device, the method comprising the following steps:
