Competitively priced compact broaching heads
Competitively priced compact broaching heads in Flo-topol range from Floyd Automatic Tooling.
In medical and dental technology high quality and difficult to work materials are being used more and more - and this is where the CrazyDrill proves its worth.
Designed for working to the highest quality, the CrazyDrill is unparalleled in its productivity levels.
The CrazyDrill is available in lengths of 6xD, 10xD and 15xD and the diameters increase in 0.05mm increments.
The geometry and hard metal coating is identical to that of the larger drills in the CrazyDrill range.
The drill is capable of advancing 0.07mm/min with a diameter of 0.8mm and length of 8mm in alloy steel (100Cr6) and a cutting at a speed of 50m/min.
Removal of the chips is only necessary at a depth of 7 x D (5.6 mm).
Even for longer versions, a maximum of four pecking operations is enough to reach an extreme depth of 15 x D.
Other products that will be shown at the Irish Manufacturing Show will include the new Applitec Modu-Line quick-change pre-settable tooling programme.
The concept of the Modu-Line programme enables a range of Applitec quick-change insert holders of either pre-set or fixed length type and often with an increased number of tools to be used on the machine.
The holders use the Applitec ridge location system to ensure a rigid and repeatable tool change and have the added benefit of being able to deliver high pressure coolant to the tool tip.
This provides the user with significantly reduced set-up times and enhanced flexibility via additional tool options.
All this serves to give the end user a massive productivity and capability advantage.
Also on show will be the Schwanog range of splining tools, the splining system eradicates the need for second operations by splining in a single operation on a lathe.
The Schwanog 'Serration Shave Tool' consists of a section of the profile with six teeth.
Only the last tooth has a complete tooth profile with each of the preceding five profiles having gradually decreasing profile depth.
The shaving of the serration is achieved by the tool being fed to depth in three to four passes at rapid feed in 'Z'.
In the second step the spindle indexes by the required number of teeth with the tool fed to depth, giving roughing and finishing with one pass.
The cost of Schwanog tooling is quickly recovered with second operations often being eliminated.
Other products that will be on show include a variety of collets, bushes, collet holders, broach holders, specialist tooling for sliding head machines, revolving ends, barfeed collets and a whole host of cutting tool solutions to suit your requirements.
