Abstract
A machining tool for chip-removing machining includes a tool body and a generator assembly for harvesting electric energy to be used in the tool. At least one first component is secured to the tool body and a second component is movably connected to the tool body so as to, by moving with respect to the first component through interaction therewith, generate electric energy in the first component. The generator assembly includes an arrangement for conducting a medium flow to hit and act upon the second component for moving it with respect to the first component.
Claims20
A machining tool for chip-removing machining comprising:
- a tool body;
- and
- a generator assembly arranged for harvesting electric energy to be used in the tool and having at least one first component secured to the tool body and a second component movably connected to the tool body so as to, by moving with respect to the first component through interaction, therewith generate electric energy in the first component, the generator assembly including an arrangement configured to conduct a medium flow to hit and act upon the second component for moving it with respect to the first component.
A method for harvesting electric energy to be used in a machining tool for chip-removing machining, the machining tool including a tool body and a generator assembly for harvesting electric energy to be used in the tool and having at least one first component secured to the tool body and a second component movably connected to the tool body, the method comprising:
- the step of moving the second component with respect to the first component for by interaction therewith generate electric energy in the first component, wherein the step of moving the second component includes conducting a medium flow to hit the second component.
