1GENERAL1.1 Scope
This Standard pertains to the standardization of basictoolholder shank, retention knob, and socket assembliesfor numerically controlled machining centers with auto-matic tool changers. The requirements contained hereinare intended to provide toolholder interchangeabilitybetween machining centers with automatic tool chang-ers of various types. This Standard is the inch solutionfor basic toolholder shank, retention knob, and socketassemblies. This design specifies an interchangeableretention knob with a 45-deg clamping surface.
Section 2 of this Standard specifies the dimensionsand tolerances of toolholder shanks having 7 /24 tapersintended for automatic tool change. These are intendedfor use with the corresponding basic retention knob andspindle sockets specified in sections 3 and 4 (see Table 1).Section 3 contains information for standardization ofretention knobs for use with the7 /24 connection systemdescribed herein (see Table 2).
Section 4 specifies the dimensions and tolerances ofspindle sockets, drive keys, and key seats for machinetool spindles having 7/24 tapers intended for automatictool change (see Table 3 and Fig.1).These are intendedfor use with the corresponding basic toolholder shankand retention knob specified in sections 2 and 3.
1.2 Noninterchangeability
Tool shanks conforming to ASME B5.18-1972 andASME B5.40-1977 are not interchangeable with toolshanks established in this Standard.Tool shanks con-forming to ISo 7388-1:1983 and retention knobISO 7388-2:1984 types “A” and”B” are not interchange-able with this Standard. This also applies to additionalshank and knob designs that are in the draft stageswithin the ISO standards development system.Accord-ingly,the reader should note the warning statementincluded with the retention knob specifications shownin Table 2.
Some incompatibility with existing automatic toolchange arms may arise from dimension M (Table 1).1.3 Classification
This Standard covers a basic toolholder shank withan “inch” threaded retention knob with 45-deg clampingsurface that is applicable to general-purpose machining
centers where loading and exchange of toolholders isaccomplished by automatic means.The termgeneral purpose is intended to differentiate betweenmachine designs for unusually high accuracy require-ments or designs intended to function with exception-ally high spindle rotational speeds coupled with higheraxis feed rates, such as is normally found in high-speedmachining. Tool shanks made to this Standard may beused with a variety of proprietary retention and / orflange locking systems.
1.4Definitions
Terms relevant to this Standard and its applicationare as follows:
atoniatic tool changer (ATC): mechanism for the transferof the toolholder between a storage feature and the spin-dle or nonrotating socket.
balance: when the mass centerline and rotational center-line of a rotor are coincident.
basic cone: geometrically ideal conical surface that isgiven by its geometrical dimensions.These are a basiccone diameter, the basic cone length, and the basic rateof taper, or the basic cone angle.
basic toolholder shank: unit that fits directly into the spin-dle or nonrotating socket of the machine and has provi-sion for automatic tool change.
coolant hole: passage through the center of the retentionknob that allows through-the-spindle coolant to pass.This hole also permits access to a tool set height adjust-ment screw if so equipped.
drive key: device intended to assist in delivery of thedriving torque from the spindle nose to the tool.
effective case: depth within a metal part, measured fromthe part’s surface, where the minimum required hard-ness is present.
retention knob: member of the toolholder retention sys-tem that provides a coupling point between the tool-holder taper and the spindle drawbar.
spindle: component assembly of the machine tool, thefunction of which is to accept the basic toolholder shank.spindle nose: the part of a spindle into which the toolshank is accepted.
tool angular orientation: mechanical feature to positionand retain the basic toolholder shank in a specific angu-lar relationship to the spindle or nonrotating socket.tool shank: the part of a tool which mates with the taperin the spindle nose.
