B685
B685 – Stable and productive cylinder boring, from roughing to semi-finishing
Concept description
Cylinder boring is a key operation in the automotive industry; a high-speed operation with high requirements on tight tolerances. Until now, the operator has adjusted the insert position manually, which is a time-consuming procedure and often requires special devices.
The B685 cylinder boring bar is designed to combine roughing and semi-finishing in one operation. The solution provides excellent roundness and cylindricity and allows for a smooth finishing operation thanks to the integrated Silent Tools™ dampener.
