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.
With this tool system, close-tolerance hole finishing in steel, cast iron, titanium, stainless steel and aluminium is now possible.
The RIR single blade reaming system provides extremely accurate bores and geometrical tolerances.
Depending on the application, hole tolerances to ISO h6 can be achieved in a production environment.
The RIR has a simple and secure clamping system with a patented groove in the insert that guarantees fast and easy adjustment.
The guide pads are bonded into the tool body offering two significant benefits, in manufacture the tool body is not subjected to the heat of brazing eliminating stress and reconditioning is also simpler as again heat is not applied to the body to remove, repair and replace the guide pads.
The tools are carefully manufactured to suit customer applications and are available in a diameter range of 7.0mm - 350mm with a maximum tool length of 1200mm.
The indexable inserts are available with all the industry standard leads and rakes, and are available in an extensive range of coated and uncoated carbide, PCD, CBN and cermet.
The guide pad materials are also carefully matched to suit the application.
To complement and support the reaming program a Kennametal pre-setting fixture and a range of run true adaptors to eliminate spindle variation are also available.
With Kennametal offering solutions for close-tolerance hole finishing, customers now have the opportunity to decrease the number of suppliers and have a competent partner for hole-making processes.
