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.
Modular drill can be changed in the machine
Modular high-performance drill, that can be changed while in the machine, adds value by reducing machining time and down-time in drilling operations.
The results are greatly improved throughput, cycle times and production efficiencies for shops where achieving such benefits is a key business requirement.
The new grades will be available both direct from Kennametal and through authorised local distributors and will include the following: KU10T, KU25T, KU30T (turning), KUC20M, KUC30M (milling) und KU40D (holemaking).
This is the first global tooling line to specifically target this market, delivering the goals of versatility, performance and simplicity.
For turning applications, grades KU10T, KU25T and KU30T represent a complete product range for all general lathe applications, including turning, boring, grooving, threading and cutoff.
For milling, KUC20M and KUC30M work together with the KSSM Face-Milling platform where a single insert style works in face, slotting or helical cutters.
For holemaking, KennaUniversal grade KU40D is a solid-carbide insert that works equally well in spade blade or indexable insert drills, offering an excellent price/performance ratio.
Kennametal has thus succeeded in addressing all of a job shop's needs; with as few as six HM items from the Kenna Universal line a wide variety of materials can be covered with a minimum of tooling changes, setups and throughput, and without any compromise on product quality.
