The invention relates to a position drive for a tool head for use in machine tools. The tool head comprises a base body (12), a tool shank (16) which protrudes axially over the base body (12) and is coupleable to a rotating machine spindle (14), and a thrust member (18) which is movable with respect to the base body (12) and which serves to move at least one tip holder or cutting tool (76). Further, an electric motor arrangement (24), which is coupleable to the thrust member (18), and a power supply device (26) for the motor arrangement (24) are positioned on the base body (12). In order to ensure a compact construction having an efficient motor arrangement, a hollow shaft (50) is borne rotatable about an axis of the base body (12), which is concentric with respect to a displacement axis (52) of the thrust member (18), and the hollow shaft (50) has an internal thread which engages in an external thread (42) of the thrust member (18). The hollow shaft (50) has a toothed ring (62) which is positioned concentric with respect to the external thread (42), for the engagement of at least one gear (70) which is positioned on a driven shaft (68) of the motor arrangement (24).
A tool head having a position drive for use in machine tools, comprising at least one transmission element movable with respect to a base body, the transmission element being provided for the displacement of a cutting tool or of a cutting tip carrier, the tool head further comprising an electric motor arrangement positioned in the base body and coupled to the transmission element, and further comprising a power supply device for the motor arrangement, wherein a hollow shaft, which is drivable by means of the motor arrangement and which is coupled to the transmission element, is borne rotatably and axially unmovably on the base body, the transmission element comprising a thrust member which is movable with respect to the base body in parallel to the axis of the hollow shaft, and the hollow shaft is borne rotatably about an axis of the base body which is concentric with respect to a displacement axis of the thrust member, and the hollow shaft has an internal thread which engages in an external thread of the thrust member, wherein an exchangeable cutting head carrying at least one cutting tip is positioned removably at the front face of the base body and has a central opening at its front side for the insertion of the cutting tool which is connectable to the thrust member.
A tool head for use in machine tools, comprising a base body, a tool shank which protrudes axially over the base body and is coupled to a rotating machine spindle, a thrust member movable with respect to the base body and which serves to move a cutting tool, an electric motor arrangement positioned in the base body and coupled to the thrust member, a power supply device for the motor arrangement, an exchangeable cutting head positioned at the front side of the base body and which carries at least one cutting tip, and a coupling element positioned within the base body, which is axially movable with the aid of the motor arrangement, and which serves to accept the cutting tool which penetrates a central opening at the front of the exchangeable cutting head and which is retractable into the inside of the exchangeable cutting head.
A tool head having a position drive for use in machine tools, comprising at least one transmission element movable with respect to a base body, the transmission element being provided for the displacement of a cutting tool or of a cutting tip carrier, the tool head further comprising an electric motor arrangement positioned in the base body and coupled to the transmission element, and further comprising a power supply device for the motor arrangement, wherein a hollow shaft, which is drivable by means of the motor arrangement and which is coupled to the transmission element, is borne rotatable and axially unmovably on the base body, the transmission element comprising a thrust member which is movable with respect to the base body in parallel to the axis of the hollow shaft, and the hollow shaft is borne rotatable about an axis of the base body which is concentric with respect to a displacement axis of the thrust member, and the hollow shaft has an internal thread which engages in an external thread of the thrust member, wherein an exchangeable cutting head carrying at least one cutting tip is positioned removably at the front face of the base body and has a central opening at its front side for the insertion of the cutting tool which is connectable to the thrust member, the cutting tool comprising a reaming or drilling tool, wherein the coupling element has-an internal thread for receiving a tool shank which has a complementary external thread, wherein the coupling element is borne non-rotatably and unmovably in a head piece of the thrust member and has free play therein, and wherein the coupling element has a polygonal driver portion and two spherical calottes which adjoin the driver portion in opposite directions.
A tool head for use in machine tools, comprising at least one transmission element movable with respect to a base body, the transmission element being provided for the displacement of a cutting tool, the tool head further comprising an electric motor arrangement positioned in the base body and coupled to the transmission element, and further comprising a power supply device for the motor arrangement, wherein a hollow shaft, which is drivable by means of the motor arrangement and which is coupled to the transmission element, is borne rotatably and axially unmovably on the base body, the transmission element comprising a thrust member which is movable with respect to the base body in parallel to the axis of the hollow shaft, and the hollow shaft is borne rotatable about an axis of the base body which is concentric with respect to a displacement axis of the thrust member, and the hollow shaft has an internal thread which engages in an external thread of the thrust member, wherein a cutting tip holder which is borne on the base body rotates about an axis which is perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the thrust member, and transmission means which translate the thrust movement of the thrust member into a rotary movement of the cutting tip holder.
A tool head having a position drive for use in machine tools, comprising at least one transmission element movable with respect to a base body, the transmission element being provided for the displacement of a cutting tool or of a cutting tip carrier, the tool head further comprising an electric motor arrangement positioned in the base body and coupled to the transmission element, and further comprising a power supply device for the motor arrangement, wherein a hollow shaft, which is drivable by means of the motor arrangement and which is coupled to the transmission element, is borne rotatably and axially unmovable on the base body, the transmission element comprising a thrust member which is movable with respect to the base body in parallel to the axis of the hollow shaft, and the hollow shaft is borne rotatably about an axis of the base body which is concentric with respect to a displacement axis of the thrust member, and the hollow shaft has an internal thread which engages in an external thread of the thrust member, wherein two sliders are displaceable on the base body in opposite directions transverse or slanted with respect to the direction of displacement of the thrust member, of which at least one slider has a tool reception, and transmission means which translate the thrust movement of the thrust member into a displacement movement of the at least one slider.
