MAPAL Competence – Actuating Tools and Facing Heads

The MAPAL ISOTOOL Competence Center in Sinsheim The MAPAL group develops, produces and markets high quality precision tools worldwide for the metal cutting industry. Advice and on site technical service are fundamentally important issues for customer satisfaction on any market. In order to meet the demand for complete tooling programs, MAPAL has also included complex actuating tools and facing heads in its broad range of products since the 1990s. Actuating tools from the MAPAL ISOTOOL GmbH in Sinsheim offer maximum potential for rationalization and optimization in large batch production....

The MAPAL actuating tools with guide pads represent all our experiences in metal-cutting. New types of high performance tools emerged from proven technologies. Development, design, production and service to the highest precision provide the basis for products from MAPAL.. In general, MAPAL provides a guarantee for the function of the actuating tools developed and produced. For critical trial tools, however, development is always coordinated and concluded with the customer. In order to complete the installation of the tools at the customer’s works as quickly and efficiently as possible, an...

The wide variety of MAPAL actuating tools MAPAL offers high performance concepts for every machining task. The production program includes tools actuated by draw bars for special machines and tools controlled without external feed units for machining centers. These are tools actuated by coolant, spindle speed, centrifugal force or by contact stop. If the tools have a large overhang, guide pads based on MAPAL’s tried and tested system are used. LAT and EAT facing heads are included in the standard program. MAPAL Technology MAPAL Actuating Tools MAPAL TOOLTRONIC® electronically controlled...

MAPAL actuating tools Function principle 1 Actuating with draw bars - Mainly used on special machines which are not, or only seldom, refitted. - Slide generating by means of an actuating bar, either drawing or pushing. F - Generating the actuating bar by means of an hydraulic or NC feed unit.

MAPAL actuating tools Function principle 2 Actuating with contact stop Resetting by spring force - Slide generating is achieved by using the workpiece surface or a special device as a contact stop. - Special generating tools can mainly be used on machining centers with torque support. Rotary slide Actuating bar fixed by life center Actuating principles

MAPAL actuating tools Function principle 3 Actuating with coolant pressure Slide Pressure valve Coolant pressure - Tool feed can be set manually by means of a throttle valve. - Slide actuation is achieved by applying the existing coolant pressure. Normally coolant at 50 bar is required. - Actuating tools can be used on machining centers with the appropriate level of coolant pressure. - Coolant controlled tools are subject to very low maintenance as the coolant pressure is not applied directly on the moving parts but via a membrane onto an oil pad which then lubricates the moving parts. -...

MAPAL actuating tools Function principle 4 Actuating with centrifugal force Axial slide - Special slide generating tools driven by centrifugal force can be used on machining centers with appropriately high spindle speeds. - Advantage: Standard machining center can be used without special adjustment. Actuating principles - Slide actuation is achieved by using the centrifugal force produced by two symmetrically aligned pistons when the tool is rotated. The tool is automatically deactivated by spring force after the spindle slows down.

MAPAL actuating tools Function principle 5 Actuating with TOOLTRONIC® - Generating the slide is achieved by means of a servomotor in the tool. TOOLTRONIC® actuating tools can be used on machining centers or special machines. Machining complex contours is also possible on a machining center. - Advantage: TOOLTRONIC® provides an additional axis for a machine. Transmission system Electronics TOOLTRONIC® – The driving force in precision machining MAPAL TOOLTRONIC® has been developed as a self-contained drive system. By inductive and bi-directional data transmission, TOOLTRONIC® provides a full,...
