Benefits and features

  • Dimension compensation unit:Possible to set up the tool without any special deviceEasy to handle compared to other solutions where you need to stop the spindle, remove the tool from the machine, cool it down, adjust it, and initiate a new holePre-set dimensionsDirectly set at the final diameter in the working position—no actuation needed
  • Patented speed control unitNo need to stop the spindle during feed outReduces cutting timeEnsures that no marks are left when the tool leaves the holeNo need for special machinesNo need to switch off the coolant during machining
  • Repeatability within 0.002 mm (0.00079 inch) on the diameter
  • Integrated coolant

Application

  • Optimized for cast iron or aluminum cylinder blocks designed with cast iron liners or sleeves
  • Industry segment: Automotive industry
  • Machines: Unit center machines and transfer lines
