Cleaning device for the holding shank of a tool or tool-holder

摘要

The device comprises a cleaning chamber (1) which is arranged on a socket (10) and through the opening (13) of which the shank part (3) of a tool (5) or a tool holder (4) is inserted. The wall of the cleaning chamber (1) is adapted to the shape of the shank part (3) and has an internal thread (7). A pressure fluid is fed in through an inflow opening (8). The pressure fluid flows through the grooves of the internal thread (7) and flows nearly pressureless through a discharge opening (9) while carrying off dirt particles located on the surface of the shank part (3). The shank part (3) can be clamped and thus fixed in the cleaning chamber (1) by a clamping device (19). An intensified cleaning action is thus obtained.
