Ceratizit: OFFERS SINGLE POINTTURNING SOLUTION

摘要

High Dynamic Turning (HDT) from Ceratizit combined with the company's dynamic FreeTurn tooling allows customers to carry out all traditional turning operations such as roughing, finishing, contour turning, face turning and longitudinal turning with just one tool. HDT with FreeTurn represents a completely new method of turning. For 100 years, new cutting materials, new chip breakers and a few new tooling systems have been invented to optimize turning. However, the actual basic turning process has remained essentially unchanged. Even today, a contour is created with an indexable insert at a fixed angle to the workpiece. This method has not changed, even with the addition of controllable axes in modern turning-milling centers, machines which are intended to serve one purpose, namely, to manufacture a component as completely as possible within a single machine work envelope. Ceratizit has taken advantage of the features on these turning-milling centers and developed the High Dynamic Turning (HDT) System. The simple idea behind HDT: the tool approach and point of contact in the machine can be varied as opposed to conventional turning with a fixed tool. Instead of the classic, static position of the insert in the holder, the milling spindle is now used to produce the corresponding approach angle to the work-piece. The use of the spindle drive, in conjunction with the slim, axial tool design of the FreeTurn tools by Ceratizit, creates a degree of freedom of 360° without the risk of collision, thus providing unprecedented flexibility. Due to the rotation around its own tool axis, the change can be done without interrupting the cutting process.
