Abstract
A rotating or swiveling device of a machine tool, in particular an NC circular milling attachment, with a machine component on bearings which can be rotated or swivelled, and a clamping device for the releasable fixing of the machine component in the desired angled positions. A secure fixing of the rotating or swiveling machine component can, according to the present invention, also be achieved, even without a change of position, through the fact that the clamping device has a clamping component with laterally flexible clamping elements arranged on the support for gripping into a ring groove on the machine component and a pressure component which can be moved against the clamping component to press the clamping elements against at least one side wall of the ring groove.
Claims13
A rotating or swiveling device of a machine tool, in particular of a NC circular milling attachment, the device having a support and comprising:
- a machine component having a ring groove and being mounted on rotating or swiveling bearings;
- a clamping device for the releasable fixing of the machine component in a desired angle position, the clamping device having a clamping component arranged on the support with laterally flexible clamping elements for gripping into the ring groove on the machine component, the ring groove having inner and outer walls, and the clamping device having a pressure component movable opposite the clamping component for pressing the clamping elements against at least one side wall of the ring groove, wherein the clamping component is a clamping ring connectable to the support provided with inner and outer clamping elements which are regularly distributed over its circumference and which are configured to be pressed by the pressure component against the inner and outer walls of the ring groove.
