The company says its new back clamp-style cut-off toolholder increases productivity. The clamp is said to simplify insert replacement in comb-type Swiss machines. The placement of the clamp also facilitates smooth chip evacuation, according to the company. The inserts are available in PR930, a micro grain coated carbide. The company says that two sharp edges per insert reduce tooling cost and provide an excellent finish.
Pairing automation with air-driven motors that push cutting tool speeds up to 65,000 RPM with no duty cycle can dramatically improve throughput and improve finishing.
Diagnosing when a tool is failing is important because it sets an expectation and a benchmark for improvements. Finding out why gives us a clue for how to fix it.
