Table XC: Arbor
|
Arbor: An arbor is a tool holder used to transfer spindle rotation to an arbor-mounted cutting tool. The arbor is typically a round shaft with a pilot for mounting the cutting tool. An arbor nut or retaining bolt is typically used to hold the cutter to the arbor.

| Attribute Name |
Description of Attribute |
|
Arbor Size Designation (optional)
|
Designation for the size of the Arbor. The size designation is typically a numeric value. [Examples: 1, 4, 8]
|
|
Overall Length
|
The overall length of the arbor. If the arbor has a flange for positioning the arbor within a tool holder or machine tool, the overall length measurement includes only the distance from the tool body end of the arbor to the top of the flange (i.e., closest to the machine).
|
|
Arbor Pilot Diameter
|
The diameter of the section of the arbor onto which the tool body is mounted. This value is equivalent to the Thread Diameter for threaded pilots.
|
|
Arbor Pilot Length
|
The length of the section of the arbor onto which the tool body is mounted.
|
|
Arbor Pilot Taper
|
The taper of the section of the arbor onto which the tool body is mounted. Arbor Pilot Taper will equal zero for non-tapered pilots.
|
|
Cutter Drive Feature
|
An indication of how the tool body is driven by the arbor. [Valid values: Key, Tenon]
|
|
Number of Tool Drive Keys (conditional)
|
The number of keys on the arbor for driving a cutter tool body.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.CUTTER_DRIVE_FEATURE = KEY.
|
|
Tool Drive Key Width (conditional)
|
Width of the key(s) on the arbor for driving a cutter tool body. If multiple keys exist, the width of the keys is typically the same value.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.CUTTER_DRIVE_FEATURE = KEY.
|
|
Tool Drive Key Height (conditional)
|
Height of the key(s) on the arbor for driving a cutter tool body. If multiple keys exist, the length of the keys is typically the same value. This attribute is a measure of how far the key can be inserted into the keyway depth.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.CUTTER_DRIVE_FEATURE = KEY.
|
|
Tenon Width (conditional)

Width of the tenon on the arbor for driving a cutter tool body. The tenon is inserted into a slot on the tool body. The dimensions of the tenon should be matched with the slot size on the tool body.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.CUTTER_DRIVE_FEATURE = TENON.
|
|
Tenon Height (conditional)
|
Height of the tenon on the arbor for driving a cutter tool body. The dimensions of the tenon should be matched with the slot size on the tool body. This attribute is a measure of how far the tenon can be inserted into the slot depth.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.CUTTER_DRIVE_FEATURE = TENON.
|
|
Cutter Mount Type
|
An indication of how the cutter tool body is held in place by the arbor. [Valid values: Arbor Nut, Retaining Bolt] Typically the tool body is placed onto the pilot of the arbor and held by either an Arbor Nut screwed onto a threaded pilot or a Retaining Bolt screwed into a threaded hole in the end of the pilot. A value of "Arbor Nut" implies that the arbor pilot is threaded. A Retaining Bolt is sometimes called an Arbor Lockscrew.

|
|
Arbor Shank Diameter (conditional)
|
The maximum diameter of the arbor shank (i.e., the end of the arbor that is held by the tool holder or machine tool).
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.ARBOR_SHANK_STYLE = STRAIGHT_SHANK, WELDON_SHANK, AUTOMOTIVE_SHANK, WHISTLE_NOTCH, or for other non-tapered arbor shank styles specified by shank size.
|
|
Shank Drive Feature
|
An indication of how the arbor is attached to and driven by another tool holding component or the machine spindle. [Examples: Key, Flat, Tang, Square, Thread, Other]
|
|
Number of Shank Drive Keys (conditional)
|
The number of keys on the arbor for attaching the arbor to a holder.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.SHANK_DRIVE_FEATURE = KEY.
|
|
Shank Drive Key Width (conditional)
|
Width of the key(s) on the arbor for attaching the arbor to a holder. If multiple keys exist, the width of the keys is typically the same value.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.SHANK_DRIVE_FEATURE = KEY.
|
|
Shank Drive Key Length (conditional)
|
Length of the key(s) on the arbor for attaching the arbor to a holder. If multiple keys exist, the length of the keys is typically the same value.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.SHANK_DRIVE_FEATURE = KEY.
|
|

|
Number of flats on the arbor for attaching the arbor to a holder. Typically called a Weldon flat.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.SHANK_DRIVE_FEATURE = FLAT.
|
|

|
|
Tang Length (conditional)
|

|
|

Attribute only applies where ARBOR.SHANK_DRIVE_FEATURE = THREAD.
|
|
Coolant Collar? (conditional)
|
Can a coolant collar be attached to the arbor? [Valid values: Yes, No] Coolant collars are required for through-the-tool-coolant with some older machine tools which do not allow coolant through the spindle. The collar is typically placed into a groove around the arbor and forms a seal for the coolant. Some coolant collars are attached to a flange around the arbor. Newer machine tools allow coolant to flow to the cutting tool through the spindle and do not require the collar.
Attribute only applies where TOOL_HOLDER.COOLANT_THROUGH_HOLDER? = YES.
|
|
Collar Channel Length (conditional)
|
The width of the groove around the arbor for attaching a coolant collar. This value is measured along the axis of the arbor. A value of zero indicates that a channel for the coolant collar does not exist.
Attribute only applies where ARBOR.COOLANT_COLLAR? = YES.
|
|
Plug Size (conditional)
|
Size of the threaded hole in the arbor in which a plug can be inserted. Used with coolant collars to prevent coolant from exiting the shank end of the coolant channel in the arbor.
Attribute only applies where TOOL_HOLDER.COOLANT_THROUGH_HOLDER? = YES.
|
|
Arbor Flange Diameter (conditional)
|
Diameter of the enlarged, collar-like, portion of the arbor. Used for clearance calculations in tool assemblies. The flange is used as a standard tool preset in production environments.
