Formbore System Tools

Product catalog summary

Overview:
The Formbore system tools are designed to convert spindle rotation into linear tool movement, allowing for the creation of internal and external profiles in various shapes and sizes. These tools are compatible with milling machines, machining centers, lathes, and special purpose machines, offering versatility and flexibility in machining processes.

Specifications:
The Formbore system tools consist of two main components: the drive and the profiling head. The drive shaft is housed and rotates, while the profiling head's movement is controlled by a torque-assisted element. The cutting edge direction is determined by rolling elements and a profiling cam. The tools can produce profiles such as squares, hexagons, and octagons, with specific measurements and variants available.

Procedures:
For internal machining, a pilot hole slightly smaller than the wrench size is required. The profiling process can be completed in one operation with the appropriate speed and feed settings. The tools are independent of the machine's spindle synchronization, allowing for optimized process routes and reduced processing times.

Technical Information:
Formbore tools are available in different sizes and configurations, with specific descriptions for each type. The tools are designed to work with various machine interfaces, and further versions are available upon request. Accessories for boring bars and external profiles are also provided.

Advantages:
Formbore system tools offer significant time and cost savings, with easy size control of the final contour through scale adjustments on the formbore head. They provide practical versatility and flexibility, making them ideal for complete machining of specific forms on one machine.

Recommendations:
For optimal use, include a drawing of the required contour with all inquiries and orders to define exact form requirements. Contact the manufacturer for solution-based recommendations tailored to specific processing needs.

Unique: Formbore system tools With Formbore system tools, internal and external profiles can be generated in a variety of shapes and sizes. Pre-machining the forms, drilling and milling operations basically pre-form the desired shapes followed by the linear action of the Formbore cutting tool which delivers the required profile on conventional machining centers. Formbore system tools can be used on:  Milling machines  Machining centres  Lathes  Special purpose machines Formbore system tools work independently of the machines spindle. It doesn’t have to be synchronized, can be calculated and...

DESIGN AND MODE OF OPERATION OF THE FORMBORE SYSTEM TOOLS: Formbore system tools essentially consist of two components: the drive and the profiling head. The rotating drive shaft is mounted in a housing. The torque-assisted control element defines the movement sequence of the profiling head. The direction of the cutting edge is generated by rolling elements and the profiling cam. The following profiles can be produced: Further profiles on request Order example: = Variant 1 ( e.g. Corner radius) = Measurement square= 8,10 mm = Square = Cam block for formbore system tool Size 1 = Formbore cam block...
