Challenge:
Application details:
- Main bore: Ø14.0 mm
- Counterbore diameter: Ø22.0 mm
- Material: GG40
- Machining: Horizontally with internal coolant
- Machine: Gantry Boring and Milling Machine Center
Solution:
HEULE recommended the BSF tool with a working length of 80 mm, together with a TiAlN coated carbide blade type BSF-M-E-1A-5.0.
Machining parameters:
- Speed: N=500 rev/min
- Feed: F=20 mm/min
- Coolant: Internal coolant
Results:
By replacing their old tool, which needed pre-adjustments, this customer found more stability and a better process capability. The better stability led to a longer blade life for the tool. The customer is very happy with the solution and noted that their process is more efficient, precise, and safe.
