EXHIBITION PREVIEW MACH 2020 – BIRMINGHAM NEC – 20-24 APRIL
Gewefa’s Hydro-Pin range of singlepoint
boring bars will be shown
#accessories #tooling #toolholding –
Gewefa UK, Stand 20-652 Gewefa will
be featuring equipment from EWS, OTTJakob,
Pibomulti, Nann, Rineck and, for the
rst time, products from the Fahrion
Precision Centro P Premium range of collet
chucks A substantially enlarged hydraulic
‘Hydro-Pin’ range of single-point boring bar
toolholders will be introduced. New variants
accommodate a wide selection of boring bar
shanks, many with their own location
con gurations. Features common to all
include substantially reduced setting times –
by as much as 75% – and an up to 50%
increase in cutter life, due to the more
secure, vibration-free grip. The system is
offered for Arno, System Dieterle, DTS,
Hobe, MAS, Sumitomo, Sandvik, Simtek and
Vargus Driven tool expert EWS will
introduce a new intelligent tool monitoring
technique called CyberCon4. This monitors a
range of processes within the tool, so as to
optimise performance German machine
tool accessory specialist OTT-Jakob will have
a new all-in-one rotary union with an
innovative monitoring function. The 2KA-ME
union combines proven twin-channel
technology for the hydraulic release and
integrated media transfer with state-of-theart
clamping condition sensor technology.
Also featured from OTT-Jakob will be the
Power Check spindle monitoring system
Swiss speeder and angle-head specialist
Pibomulti has a further addition to its
Rainbow range of angle-heads, one able to
clamp up to a 12 mm diameter tool shank
via a Gewefa hydraulic clamping system
Heat-shrink clamping machine expert
Rineck will be featuring toolholders and
cutters from its range Collet specialist
Nann will show two of its latest
developments – a new MSK manuallyoperated
collet chuck and a spindle unit
range for use with draw-back, dead-length
and expanding collets From Fahrion
there’ll be the Precision Centro P Premium
range of collet chucks, the Ultra Power
Chucks, Dynamic Performance Chucks and
Mini Precision Chucks.
#tooling – Horn Cutting Tools, Stand 20-
340 During high performance reaming
of through-holes or deep blind holes,
standard solutions often reach their
technical limits. Long-chipping materials and
those that are dif cult to cut make it
necessary to modify the tool system, as well
as the internal coolant supply. Bespoke,
additively manufactured coolant discs that
can be screwed on to the tool shank to
ensure reliable chip control are now offered
by Horn. Extended tool life is a bene t The
406 tangential milling cutter system gains
an insert with wiper geometry for nishing.
The new geometry produces very high
surface quality, even at elevated feed rates,
resulting in shorter machining times, while
there’s also a reduced need for subsequent
grinding processes An expanded range of
monocrystalline diamond (MCD) tipped,
ballnose end-mills for brilliant- nish
prismatic machining of non-ferrous materials
will be stand news. The new, larger diameter
variants reduce machining time, ensure tight
tolerances and produce nishes in the
nanometre range. Stock diameter are 6, 8,
10, 12 and 16 mm. All variants are singleedged,
feature an internal coolant supply
and have a solid carbide shank for vibrationfree
machining. Horn offers MCD solutions
for brilliant- nish turning, too Delivering
reduced cycle times and production costs in
series production on turning and mill-turn
centres, Horn has introduced customised
carbide form inserts for machining diameters
of 16 mm and up, with pro le widths of 16,
20 and 26 mm as standard. Based on its
117 tool system, the patented insert seat
guarantees high concentricity and minimal
axial runout, as well as high repeatability of
insert exchange to within microns. All
variants have an internal coolant supply.
High accuracy and surface quality plus
nancial savings are bene ts New
toolholder variants for the S100 system
enable parting off on turning centres that
have feed movement in the Y-axis. The
method enables effective parting and
grooving using high cutting parameters,
resulting in short machining times, while due
to the system’s extra stability, the option to
part off large diameters with a compact
toolholder and use of narrow groove widths
is available New IG35 coating has high
heat and delivers high performance and long
tool life when machining stainless steels,
titanium alloys and superalloys. IG35 is
available for the S100, S101, S224, S229,
and S274 grooving systems, as well as for
the circular interpolation milling and solid
carbide milling systems A new style
toolholder for Supermini type 105 grooving
and boring tools has a novel design that
sees clamping the carbide insert using a
tensioning wedge on the face, rather than
the circumference of the tool, as was
previously the case. It enables the insert to
be held in place with more force, which in
turn makes the entire system more rigid.
A higher level of repeatability when changing
the insert allows better use to be made of
the space available for mounting it, of
The new IG35 coating
offers high performance in
stainless steels, titanium
and superalloys
