Product catalog summary
Overview: The Neptune backspotfacer is a tool designed for creating spotfaces up to twice the diameter of a hole. It is powered by coolant through the spindle and operates using a piston mechanism. The tool is versatile, allowing for part cleaning and insert holder changes for different dimensions.
Specifications: The Neptune tool can be manufactured for a wide range of applications. It includes an emergency function where the shank separates from the holder if the insert holder fails to retract properly. All friction parts are coated with a low friction coating to ensure smooth operation.
Operating Procedure:
  1. Position the tool and feed through the hole to the pivot position.
  2. Start the spindle and turn on the coolant.
  3. Retract to counterbore.
  4. Feed down to pivot position, stop spindle, and turn off coolant.
  5. Start spindle in reversed direction and retract through the hole.
  6. Retract the tool with fast feed.
Cutting Data: The document provides specific speed and feed rates for different materials such as steel, cast iron, and cast aluminum. For example, steel with a tensile strength of less than 450 N/mm should be operated at 50-100 m/min with a feed of 0.05-0.15 mm/rev.
Tool Specifications: The document lists various Neptune tool models with their respective part numbers, insert types, and dimensions. For instance, the NE-17,0/33,0 model uses TPMT-10T inserts and has specific dimensions for shank and holder.
Application Example: An example is provided using the NE-17,0/33,0 tool on a workpiece SS 1672 with a thickness of 33 mm and a spotface of 3 mm.
Important Notes: Coolant through the spindle is required for operation, with a minimum pressure of 3 bars and flow of 30 l/min. The insert holder should pivot freely, and lubrication and cleaning are necessary if required.
Spare Parts Kit: The document lists components included in a spare parts kit, such as links, distributor, screws, springs, axles, and nuts.
Caution: The tool should not be operated as a single flute, and feed should be reduced by at least 50% when entering a slope.
