Quality and efficiency in the machining process are measured using an extremely wide range of parameters. Naturally, surface quality and process security are among them. The new vibration-damped boring bars by Team Cutting Tools from the Ceratizit Group ensure that these criteria are met.
These boring bars reliably reduce vibrations and, together with the flexibility of the brand-new exchangeable head system, guarantee top quality at a low price. Uncontrolled vibrations have resulted in the demise of many an expensive workpiece and reduced efficiency for the machine operator. But long tool overhangs are often essential during turning, counterboring or threading so what is the answer? “Depending on the material to be machined, these conditions inevitably lead to vibrations that are eventually transferred to the workpiece, with catastrophic effects on the surface quality,” explains Christoph Retter, Product Manager at Team Cutting Tools from the Ceratizit Group. “And, these are not the only limitations for an efficient machining process – accelerated wear through to tool breakage is also a factor. At Ceratizit we are counteracting this with a new addition to our range, the combination of vibration-damped boring bars and a flexible exchangeable head system.”
