With the PRO-Line, Applitec have re-engineered the twin screw insert program to generate rigidity and performance at lower prices with a new patented insert clamping system. The PRO-Line program consists of two series of holders and inserts that include the 630/640 series for shorter and wider inserts for grooving and turning. The 650/660 series provides a thinner, longer insert for parting off up to 20 mm diameter with a 2 mm-wide insert with new geometries.
Alongside the new PRO-Line is an extension of the ISO-Line programme. A new range of Cermet inserts are said to offer excellent surface finishes, extended tool life and heat resistance when machining at high speeds. The FN-X8°and ENP-KX ground inserts are for finishing, whilst the EN-KM range of sintered inserts deliver high performance on heavy-duty cutting. This new ISO-Line of Cermet inserts can be used in conjunction with Applitec’s JET-Line HP through-coolant holders.
Also on show at the Open House events will be new 'back working' tools that are now used on many sliding head machines. The impressive FLO-Tool range of easy setting, height adjustable tools has now been further enhanced with insert holders for the ECO-Line and TOP-Line inserts from Applitec. These holders give increased capability and machining solutions for back end working.
Of course, the full range of PRO-Line inserts and holders line are on show at all of the Open House events alongside all of Floyd Automatic Tooling's renowned brands and product lines. With no fewer than six new Crazy Drill products from Mikron Tool, an enhanced range of HIRT-Line of stainless steel coolant hoses, the new SDK Adaptive Guide Bushes, there is much to see.
