SENSING TOOL HOLDER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240238926 titled 'SENSING TOOL HOLDER

The present disclosure introduces a sensing tool holder that includes a tool holder unit, a sensing unit, and a housing. The tool holder unit consists of a base and an additive body mounted on the base using an additive manufacturing method. The additive body features an assembling structure on its outer surface, comprising multiple first and second assembling recesses for enhanced installation flexibility. The sensing unit is positioned on the assembling structure, while the housing surrounds the additive body to cover and protect the sensing unit, creating a closed space between the housing and the additive body.

• Tool holder unit with an additive body mounted on a base using additive manufacturing.
• Assembling structure on the additive body's outer surface for increased installation freedom.
• Sensing unit arranged on the assembling structure.
• Housing covering and protecting the sensing unit, forming a closed space with the additive body.
