Apr 30, 2004
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.
In the new "Micro Machining Tools" catalogue from Kennametal you will find, in a concise and clear format, tooling solutions for both automatic and CNC sliding head lathes.
The tools in this catalogue have been designed especially for series production of small components requiring high precision.
This tooling concept takes into consideration the limited space available in these machines and distinguishes itself by having excellent access to the clamping mechanisms of the tools and indexable inserts.
The catalogue contains tools for both internal and external operations.
The highlight of the catalogue is the KM Micro quick-change system.
Available in 12mm and 16mm sizes it enables rapid tool change.
This offers the end user significant reductions in down time and time lost in indexing inserts.
Time savings of up to 40% have been demonstrated in field applications.
The system can be applied to both turning and boring stations with a comprehensive range of clamping units, cutting units and support tools available from stock.
Throughout the catalogue the user will find recommendations to enable the optimum application of the tools, which will lead to increased productivity and profitability.
