Adjusting element for inserting workpiece into collet or into chuck, has work piece support and fixing unit e.g. screw, for locking element in collet or in chuck, where unit releases element after locking without destroying element

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

This patent describes an adjusting element designed to insert a workpiece into a collet or chuck. It uses a special fixing unit—such as a screw—that locks the element securely in place and can be released without damaging the element. The fixing unit converts axial or parallel forces into radial forces to ensure a firm grip.

Patent Abstract

The element has a workpiece support and a fixing unit e.g. screw, for locking the element in a collet or in a chuck. The fixing unit releases the element after locking without destroying the element. The fixing unit has a transformation unit for transforming axially or paraxially exerted adjusting force components into radial retaining force components, which are exerted on the collet or in the chuck. The transformation unit has two penetrative openings, where one of the openings runs axially or paraxially and the other opening run radially. An independent claim is also included for a processing machine for a workpiece, comprising an admission.
