Improved centring feature enhances Gewefa hydraulic face mill adaptor
Gewefa UK has developed a centring feature for its hydraulic face mill adaptors that further enhances the location of the cutter in the adaptor. This, says the company, opens up the possibilities for applying hydraulic face mill adaptors in volume manufacturing. In use it has been reported to increase insert life, as well as provide improved, smoother running and a quieter mining pass.
The location is around the spigot of the Gewefa face adaptor which centralises the face mill cutter to a precise, even tolerance to ensure uniform chip load on each edge of the cutter. The system uses only a single screw.
In addition to the centring innovation, Gewefa has enhancements in the anti-vibration damping features which also contribute to surface finish quality.
