Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a connection element (10; 30) for forming an interface (100) between a part (2) of a machine tool and a component (1) which can be releasably connected thereto, e.g. a lathe chuck flange or a spindle flange. Having the aim that mounting the connection element (10; 30) to a mating connection element (30; 10) may easily be carried out without having to perform a special adaption function, according to the invention it is provided that the connection element (10; 30) has a bearing face (11; 31) and at least two positioning elements (12; 32) which are each received in a recess (13; 33) formed in the bearing face (11; 31) of the connection element (10; 30), where they are connected to the connection element (10; 30) in a material-uniting manner. The invention further relates to a method for the reproducible production of such a connection element.
