MAPAL has achieved a breakthrough in the field of fine boring tools with insert that significantly increases the costeffectiveness of the tools.
At a glance:
- Setting time drastically reduced
- Cost-eff ectiveness, ease of handling and process reliability increased
- Precision remains high
- HX insert with six usable cutting edges
Innovative cassette with integrated back taper
The heart of the EasyAdjust-System is an innovative cassette that stably holds the inserts with their six or four cutting edges without any play. The back taper of the minor cutting edge is already integrated into this cassette. The setting time for the back taper is completely eliminated. Due to the exact guidance of the cassette on a precision guide pin, the back taper remains unchanged even during diameter adjustments.
Matching cassettes and clamping jaws are available for different back tapers that can be selected and employed, depending on the application. The secure mounting of the insert is ensured by a stable, force-closure system of clamping groove and clamping jaw.
Significant economic benefits
In practice the EasyAdjust-System significant improves the cost-eff ectiveness: The HX insert with six useful cutting edges can be inserted quickly and precisely with diff erent back tapers. As only the diameter now has to be set, process reliability after insert change is enhanced – an effect that becomes all the more significant, when more inserts are installed in a tool. And the time for adjustment per blade is reduced to a fraction by the new development.
With the new development, MAPAL has succeeded in maintaining the high precision of the MAPAL fine boring tools while at the same time increasing cost-eff ectiveness by simplifying the handling.
