Abstract

A tool holder ( 12 ) for an indexable cutting insert ( 13 ) is disclosed, comprising a tool holder base body ( 15 ), having a receiving pocket ( 20 ) for receiving an indexable cutting insert ( 13 ) and a fastening pin ( 17 ). The fastening pin ( 17 ) can assume a mounting position and a clamping position. In the mounting position, the fastening pin ( 17 ) can be positioned in a fastening opening ( 14 ) of an indexable cutting insert ( 13 ). In the clamping position, an indexable cutting insert ( 13 ) can be fixed in the receiving pocket ( 20 ) by means of the fastening pin ( 17 ). The fastening pin ( 17 ) is arranged on a fastening slide ( 16 ), displaceably arranged in the tool holder base body ( 15 ). Furthermore, a cutting tool ( 10 ) is disclosed, having a tool holder ( 12 ) and an indexable cutting insert ( 13 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A tool holder for an indexable cutting insert, having a tool holder base body in which a receiving pocket, comprising a base surface and a bearing structure, is arranged for receiving an indexable cutting insert, and having a fastening pin protruding from the base surface and capable of assuming a mounting position and a clamping position, wherein, in the mounting position, the fastening pin may be positioned in a fastening opening of an indexable cutting insert and, in the clamping position, an indexable cutting insert may be affixed in the receiving pocket by means of the fastening pin, characterized in that the fastening pin is arranged on a fastening slide, displaceably arranged in the tool holder base body and secured to the tool holder base body via a fastening bolt passing through the fastening slide and engaging an aperture in a recess wall of the tool holder base body.

2. The tool holder according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fastening slide is displaceable parallel to the base surface.

3. The tool holder according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fastening pin is cylindrical and has a thickening of the diameter at its end facing away from the fastening slide.

4. The tool holder according to claim 1 , characterized in that the tool holder base body comprises a guide groove, and the fastening slide at least partially engages in the guide groove and is displaceable along the guide groove.

5. The tool holder according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fastening slide is connected to the tool holder base body by means of a fastening bolt, and the fastening slide is displaceable by tightening the fastening bolt.

6. The tool holder according to claim 5 , characterized in that a central axis of the fastening bolt extends substantially perpendicularly to a portion of the bearing structure.

7. The tool holder according to claim 5 , characterized in that the fastening bolt passes through an opening in the fastening slide and cooperates with a thread in the tool holder base body.

8. A cutting tool, having a tool holder according to claim 1 and an indexable cutting insert with an indexable cutting insert base surface and an indexable cutting insert side surface, characterized in that the indexable cutting insert is fastened in the tool holder such that the indexable cutting insert base surface abuts the base surface and the indexable cutting insert side surface abuts the bearing structure, and the fastening pin is arranged in the fastening opening of the indexable cutting insert.

9. The cutting tool according to claim 8 , characterized in that the fastening opening of the indexable cutting insert comprises a step, and a thickening of the diameter of the fastening pin engages behind the step such that the indexable cutting insert and the fastening pin are connected in a positive fit in the direction of a pin central axis.

10. The cutting tool according to claim 8 , characterized in that the fastening opening of the indexable cutting insert is a through-hole, and a thickening of the diameter of the fastening pin engages behind an edge, facing away from the tool holder base body, of the fastening opening such that the indexable cutting insert and the fastening pin are connected in a positive fit in the direction of a pin central axis.

11. The cutting tool according to claim 8 , characterized in that the bearing structure and the indexable cutting insert side surface are free of undercuts in a direction perpendicular to the base surface.

12. The cutting tool according to of claim 8 , characterized in that the end, facing away from the fastening slide, of the fastening pin is flush with the indexable cutting insert.

13. The cutting tool according to claim 8 , characterized in that the indexable cutting insert is displaced in the direction of the bearing structure or away from the bearing structure by a displacement of the fastening slide by means of the fastening pin.

14. A tool holder for an indexable cutting insert, having a tool holder base body in which a receiving pocket, comprising a base surface and a bearing structure, is arranged for receiving an indexable cutting insert, and having a fastening pin protruding from the base surface and capable of assuming a mounting position and a clamping position, wherein, in the mounting position, the fastening pin may be positioned in a fastening opening of an indexable cutting insert and, in the clamping position, an indexable cutting insert may be affixed in the receiving pocket by means of the fastening pin, characterized in that the fastening pin is arranged on a fastening slide, the fastening slide arranged in the tool holder base body and displaceable parallel to the base surface via a fastening bolt passing through the fastening slide.

15. The tool holder according to claim 14 , wherein a tip of the fastening bolt threadingly engages an aperture in a recess wall of the tool holder base body.
