Abstract:
A tapered tool holder fixture for installing a retention knob into a tool holder and to determine whether the retention knob has produced distortions in a tool holder surface. A support stand supports a test gauge assembly that includes a mounting ring to which a tool holder is clamped, a gauge portion for receiving a tool holder surface and a camming ring for moving the gauge portion into and out of engagement with the tool holder surface. The mounting ring, camming ring and gauge portion are held together by bolts which allow the relative movement between the gauge portion and a tool holder held by the mounting ring and allow relative rotation between the camming and mounting rings whereby a rotatable detent arrangement moves the gauge portion towards and away from the tool holder. An indicator monitors the position of the gauge portion in order to detect distortions.
