Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining, and more specifically to a front-mounted tool holder tensioning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal processing, machining is often used to process workpieces. The main structure involves a rotating spindle driving a tool holder, on which a cutting head is mounted. The rotation of the tool holder drives the cutting head to perform operations such as boring and milling. However, due to limitations in their application scenarios, the cutting head has a short service life and needs frequent replacement after wear and tear. Current tool replacement methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some cutting heads require removal from the spindle along with the tool holder, a complex and time-consuming process. Furthermore, maintaining stable concentricity is difficult during replacement, requiring recalibration after installation. To address these issues, a front-mounted tool holder tensioning device is proposed. Summary of the Invention
