Adjusting element for inserting workpiece into chuck, has flat support provided for workpiece, and fastening unit for locking adjusting element in chuck, where fastening unit releases adjusting element

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to a specialized adjusting element designed to insert workpieces securely into a chuck. It features a flat support area for the workpiece and a fastening mechanism that locks it in place within the chuck. The fastening system can be disengaged without damaging the adjusting element and converts axial forces into radial retention forces to firmly hold the workpiece.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Positioning and securing metal or other workpieces in machine tool chucks for milling or turning operations
• Facilitating quick setup and changeovers in industrial manufacturing settings using chucks
• Improving alignment and repeatable insertion of parts in automated machining processes

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Non-destructive release allows for repeated use of the adjusting element, reducing equipment wear and costs

Patent Abstract

The element (2) has a flat support provided for a workpiece, and a fastening unit for locking the adjusting element in a chuck. The fastening unit releases the adjusting element without destroying the element. The fastening unit has a transmission unit for transmitting axially or par-axially exerted adjusting force components in retaining force components radially exerted on the chuck. Cylindrical area (21) with a diameter of 24 millimeter is properly matched and inserted into rear area of the chuck.
