Speeding up and securing tool changing
A tooling and tool holding company introduced some interesting tool holding developments at EMO 2007, which we present in this brief article.
News from Mapal ( 2 November 2007)
Solid carbide twist drills cut to 40xD depth
Solid carbide deep hole twist drills cut holes up to 40D depth in steels and cast alloys and ensures safe chip clearance at maximum feds and speeds.
News from Mapal (31 October 2007)
Tool adds extra NC axis for contour boring
Electronically guided boring tool system adds an extra NC axis on machine tools for jobs such as contour turning on joint bearings and valve seats or machining grooves in valve housings.
News from Mapal (29 October 2007)
Tap drills cut high Si aluminium
Tap drills have PCD blanks over the whole tapping length to increase tool life when machining high silicon content aluminium, for example as used in automotive crank cases.
News from Mapal (15 October 2007)
Adjustable head drill optimises torque delivery
Drills with replaceable head achieve the machining times of solid carbide drills and can also adopt their specific blade geometry for making larger diameter holes more economically.
News from Mapal ( 9 November 2005)
End mill range focuses on high performance
Five different types of end milling cutters, with which all possible diameters are covered, are designed for high performance cutting in the widest range of applications.
News from Mapal ( 9 November 2005)
Reamers have double the number of blades
A new generation of reamers have a new blade design to locate effective cutting edges in pairs, which are adjusted in geometry to ensure controlled chip formation.
News from Mapal ( 9 November 2005)
Services to prevent wasteful machining
The constant endeavour to reduce costs, optimise production processes and increase a company's competitive ability means that high quality operating equipment needs to be used economically.
News from Mapal ( 9 November 2005)
PCD gun boring tools have more blades
An increase in the number of cutting edges results directly in higher feed rates which then allows gun boring machining times and therefore cycle times to be reduced.
News from Mapal ( 2 November 2005)
Face mill redesign raises feedrates
A massive tool body from steel in a monobloc design and with fixed, brazed PCD blades are the main features of a face milling cutter allowing higher feed rates.
News from Mapal ( 2 November 2005)
Tangential roughing, fnishing tool cuts deeper
Tangential roughing and finishing tool completes bore machining operations, such as general access and assembly bores in housings in one pass instead of using two tools.
News from Mapal ( 2 November 2005)
PCD gun boring tools have more blades
PCD gun boring tools have more cutting edges to enable higher feed rates, which then allow machining times and therefore cycle times to be reduced.
News from Mapal (26 September 2005)
Cutting tools maker reports positive development
The companies in the Mapal Group recorded positive development in 2004 with sales increased by 5% to EUR 225 million, despite difficult market conditions in 'old' Europe.
News from Mapal (26 September 2005)
Tangential roughing tools cut deeply
Multi-bladed tangential roughing tools fitted with replaceable blades provide stability and a soft cut when rough machining bores having distorted side wall angles.
News from Mapal (26 September 2005)
Tangential fine boring tools finish large bores
Tangential fine boring tools for large bores have reaming blades designed as twin-bladed, rhombic replaceable inserts and held in high precision seatings on the front of the tools.
News from Mapal (26 September 2005)
High performance reamers are getting smaller
High performance reamers are now available in small diameters either as solid carbide or solid Cermet tools to produce precision bores economically and can be coated on request.
News from Mapal (24 May 2004)
Self-guiding drill produces better quality bores
A solid carbide high precision drill with four cutting edges performs cutting and guides the tool produce significantly higher performances and better quality bores.
News from Mapal (24 May 2004)
