Tooling for boring and keyways cut changeover time
Three tool products - a modular boring system, right angle heads and keyway cutter - eliminate secondary operations, slash floor-to-floor times and speed machine changeovers.
Shrink-fit toolholders and boring heads extended
Additions have been made to a shrink-fit toolholder line and a range of balancable boring heads to greatly enhance productivity and reduce cycle times at high speeds.
The chucks also feature a ground trapezoidal thread, which ensures absolute centering of the clamping nut on the chuck.
The result is extremely high concentricity, repeatability and runout of <=3 micron with tighter production tolerances and better surface finish.
