Vibration-dampened tool for working in metallic material
A drill for working in metallic materials includes a tool body having located in its front end at least one cutting insert, wherein the tool body is provided with one or several damping elements mounted such that during machining, a relative movement (i.e., sliding and/or deformation) of the tool body and the damping element is allowed to occur.
1. A tool for the chip removal of metallic materials, comprising a holder body having at least one seat at its front end for receiving a cutting insert, and damping medium mounted on the holder body for movement relative to the holder body during a cutting operation, wherein the holder body comprises an elongated drill tool comprising a drill body having a number of cooling channels inside each of which the damping medium is disposed.
2. A tool for the chip removal of metallic materials, comprising a holder body having at least one seat at its front end for receiving a cutting insert, and damping medium mounted on the holder body for movement relative to the holder body during a cutting operation, wherein the holder body comprises a drill body having generally axially extending flutes between which bars are formed, wherein the damping medium is shaped and connected to the drill such that it forms part of one of the bars and constitutes part of a boundary surface of a flute.
3. The tool according to claim 2 wherein the flutes extend helically about the axis.
4. A tool for the chip removal of metallic materials, comprising a holder body having at least one seat at its front end for receiving a cutting insert, and damping medium mounted on the holder body for movement relative to the holder body during a cutting operation, wherein the holder body comprises a drill body having external flutes, the damping medium comprising pins located in corresponding cavities in the drill body.
5. A tool for the chip removal of metallic materials, comprising a holder body having at least one seat at its front end for receiving a cutting insert, and damping medium mounted on the holder body for movement relative to the holder body during a cutting operation, wherein the holder body comprises a drill body having flutes formed along the drill body, wherein the damping medium is shaped as a part-cylindrical wall element, enclosing an axial portion of a flute.
6. A tool for the chip removal of metallic materials, comprising a holder body having at least one seat at its front end for receiving a cutting insert, and damping medium mounted on the holder body for movement relative to the holder body during a cutting operation, wherein the holder body comprises a drill body, the damping medium is shaped as an annular member connected to the holder body, wherein the drill body includes a flute extending therealong from the front end, and the annularly formed damping medium is arranged on the drill body without substantially entering said flute.
7. The tool according to claim 6 further including a deformable material disposed between the annular member and the drill body.
8. A damping device adapted to be connected to a holder body of a cutting element, the damping device shaped as an annular member and including a damping medium mounted on the holder body for movement relative thereto, wherein the annular member comprises at least two arc-shaped sections connected together.
