Micro tooling system speeds up auto lathe changes
Quick-change tooling system for automatic lathes, featured in the "Micro Machining Tools" catalogue, has achieved time savings of up to 40% and can be used in turning and boring operations.
As a result, setup and adjustment times on lathes, special machines and machining centers can be reduced to an absolute minimum.
The special combination of drill head and holder permits high feeds which previously were only possible with solid-carbide drills.
The chips are formed on the drill head in order to avoid erosion of the tool body.
The two large coolant holes are precisely directed at the cutting edges creating a film of cutting fluid between the faces and chips, considerably reducing friction and the cutting temperature.
Large-capacity flutes ensure optimal chip flow, and the stepped shape on the back of the drill prevents chips from welding on and jamming.
The new HP (HP = Highly Positive) ground profile of the self-clamping drill head works with distinctly reduced cutting forces and has excellent self-centering capability.
KenTIP drills can also be installed in SEFAS chamfering tools, which reduces the need for additional operations.
