Abstract
A spindle device of a machine tool stably spouting spray coolant from the tip of a tool (26) in a tool holder (25) and suppressing a waste of the spray coolant, wherein the tool holder (25) is fixed to the tip part of a spindle (2) mechanically detachably through a clamp device (KR), an extension passage (101) is formed in the state that an in-spindle spray coolant passage (100) formed in the center part of the spindle (2) is extended forward (f2), and the in-spindle spray coolant passage (100) is formed to communicate with an in-holder spray coolant passage (102) formed in the center part of the tool holder (25) through the extension passage (101).
Claims4
A spindle device of a machine tool comprising:
- a spindle (2);
- a tool holder (25) mechanically detachably fixed on a tip of said spindle (2) by clamping means (KR) having a center, a pull stud (31) being connected to said tool holder;
- a longitudinal guiding bar member (16) located in the center of said clamping means (KR);
- a slipping prevention ring member (21) mounted on said longitudinal guiding bar member (16);
- an extension passage member (20) inserted slidably through said slipping prevention ring member (21), the extension passage member defining a cylinder having an extension passage (101) and a projecting tip;
- and
- a flange formed on an end of said extension passage member (20) distal to said tool-holder to prevent, by engaging with the slipping prevention ring member (21), said extension passage member from slipping,
- the longitudinal guiding bar member having in a central hole, in order from an end distal to said tool holder to an opposite end, a gas-liquid passage (17), a lubricating coolant atomizing means (18) comprising an atomizing nozzle (23) and a compressed air supplying valve (24), a compression spring (19) and the extension passage member (20),
- wherein said compressed air supplying valve (24) is pressed toward said atomizing nozzle (23) by said compression spring (19), and said extension passage member (20) is pressed toward the pull-stud (31) so that its tip always projects from a tip of said slipping prevention ring member (21);
- and
- said extension passage is in fluid communication with an in-holder spray lubricating coolant passage (102) formed in a center of said tool holder (25).
