Smartbore system makes micron adjustment easy

The Smartbore boring bar/adjustment tool combination minimises interruptions to machining operations, provides easy read-off checks via the hand-held adjuster or a separate mobile reader and offers fine adjustment to within 1 micron. For complete flexibility, the digital adjustment can be displayed away from the adjuster tool on our remote display. The same readout could also be displayed on a nearby computer monitor, or even on a large LCD screen mounted high in the manufacturing hall. Smartbore is an exceptionally flexible system: as well as being incorporated into new tools it can also readily be retrofitted to existing tools with UFP cartridges. Suitable for a wide range of boring applications, it can be incorporated into tools to fit any machine spindle with multiple Smartbore cutting edges per tool for multiple bore machining.
