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.
Setups can be accomplished accurately and efficiently with these units that are either fitted with either the KM interface or a standard ER collet .
When using the units with the highly accurate KM modular interface milling and drilling tools fitted can be precisely pre set offline, the machine can then be set to automatically adjust for the corrected parameters without requiring a test cut.
The savings made in setup time directly translate into higher productivity.
Individual driven units are designed to work specifically with each model variation of the NL series of turning machines to ensure maximum equipment capability.
The driven units feature high precision, wear resistant gears which ensure smooth operation and long tool life.
High-quality seals and O-rings enhance protection against external contamination.Through-coolant capabilities of up to 100 lb/in2 are available.
One of the key design features is high rigidity, enabling higher spindle speeds and feeds and significantly extended tool life.
The driven units have a warranty which covers one year or 2000 operating hours.
In general operation the unit should only need to be serviced by Kennametal every three years.
