Abstract

The tool according to the invention comprises a tool body and a cassette for machining a roller. At least one machining device can be fastened, in particular detachably, onto and/or in the cassette. In particular, the machining device is a cutting device, preferably for grooving a roller. The tool has a positioning device for orienting the cassette in the tool body at a predetermined position.

Claims (52)

1. A tool for machining of a workpiece,

wherein the tool comprises a tool body and a cassette,

at least one machining device is fastenable to and/or in the cassette,

the tool has a positioning device for orienting the cassette in a predetermined position in the tool body,

the positioning device comprises a gap arranged on the tool body, and

a protrusion, for engaging in the gap, is arranged on a template, and the template has a template opening for receiving the cassette.

2. The tool according to claim 1 , wherein an external shape of the cassette is substantially complementary at least sectionally to a shape of the template opening.

3. The tool as claimed claim 1 ,

wherein the tool body comprises a cassette fastening means for securely mounting the cassette in the tool body, wherein the cassette fastening means is arranged on and/or in the tool body.

4. The tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cassette fastening means is arranged on and/or in the tool body by a friction fit.

5. The tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cassette has a handle.

6. A tool for machining of a workpiece,

wherein the tool comprises a tool body and a cassette,

at least one machining device is fastenable to and/or in the cassette,

the tool has a positioning device for orienting the cassette in a predetermined position in the tool body,

the positioning device comprises a gap arranged on the tool body,

a protrusion for engaging in the gap is arranged on the cassette, and

a fastening device for fastening the protrusion in the gap is arranged on and/or in the gap.

7. The tool as claimed claim 6 , wherein the tool body comprises a cassette fastening means for securely mounting the cassette in the tool body, wherein the cassette fastening means is arranged on and/or in the tool body.

8. The tool as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cassette fastening means is arranged on and/or in the tool body by a friction fit.

9. The tool as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the cassette has a handle.

10. A tool for machining of a workpiece,

wherein the tool comprises a tool body and a cassette,

at least one machining device is fastenable to and/or in the cassette,

the tool has a positioning device for orienting the cassette in a predetermined position in the tool body,

the machining device comprises at least two cutting devices arranged in a row such that, with respect to a machining direction, the cutting devices machine substantially the same regions of the workpiece one after the other, and

the at least two cutting devices include a first cutting device facing in the machining direction located at a first spacing from the tool body smaller than a second spacing of a second cutting device facing in an opposite direction to the machining direction, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the tool.

11. A tool for machining of a workpiece,

wherein the tool comprises a tool body and a cassette,

at least one machining device is fastenable to and/or in the cassette,

the tool has a positioning device for orienting the cassette in a predetermined position in the tool body, and

the machining device comprises at least two cutting devices that are arranged substantially parallel to one another.

12. The tool as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a first cutting device is arranged for a first machining direction and a second cutting device is arranged for a machining in a second direction substantially opposite to the first machining direction.

13. A set comprising:

a cassette for a tool for machining of a workpiece,

wherein the tool comprises a tool body and the cassette comprises at least one machining device,

the machining device is receivable on and/or in the cassette;

a protrusion for engaging in a gap in the tool body is arrangeable or arranged on the cassette;

a template for the tool,

wherein the template comprises a protrusion for engaging in the gap in the tool body, and

the template has a template opening for receiving the cassette.

14. The set as claimed in claim 13 , wherein an external shape of the cassette is substantially complementary at least sectionally to a shape of the template opening.

15. The set as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the machining device is a cutting device.

16. The set as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the machining device is releasably receivable on and/or in the cassette.

17. A method for fluting a roller by way of a tool, wherein the tool comprises a tool body and/or a cassette for receiving two pairs of at least two cutting devices, arranged substantially parallel to one another and in a row, a first pair of cutting devices is arranged for a first machining direction and a second pair of cutting devices is arranged for a second machining direction substantially opposite to the first machining direction, the method comprising the steps of:

positioning the first pair on the roller;

rotating the roller about the roller axis in a first direction of rotation and, at substantially the same time, moving the tool along the roller axis in the first machining direction in order to produce a flute in the roller;

positioning the second pair on and/or in the flute;

rotating the roller about the roller axis in a second direction of rotation and, at substantially the same time, moving the tool along the roller axis in the second machining direction along the flute.

18. The method as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the method is performed by way of a tool for machining of a workpiece, wherein the tool comprises a tool body and a cassette, and at least one machining device is fastenable to and/or in the cassette, and the tool has a positioning device for orienting the cassette in a predetermined position in the tool body.

19. The method as claimed in claim 17 , wherein rotating the roller about the roller axis in the first direction of rotation is performed through an angular section and

rotating the roller about the roller axis in the second direction of rotation is performed through a negative angular section.
