Cutter Head extends tool life and promotes productivity.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 08:41:06 -0500

Along with cutters using multiple face blade geometry, PENTAC PLUS bevel gear cutting system has blade clamp block design that facilitates height/radial adjustments. This promotes precise axial blade movement during cutter building and truing. Design, which enhances chip flow and prevents chip packing, allows gears to be cut with more efficient cycles without premature degradation of cutting blade efficiency. System is available for face hobbing and face milling in all cutter sizes.

Gear Grinding Machine enables high-speed processing.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:33:41 -0500

Used to grind internally toothed ring gears, ZI20A optimizes grinding speed (sliding velocity) via barrel-shaped and multi-threaded grinding wheel, made of cubic boron nitride (cBN), attached to main spindle. This method enables grinding by high-speed rotation of multi-threaded type grinder wheel. Rotation synchronous control technology achieves grinding speeds through spindle rotations: 15,000 rpm for main spindle that rotates grinding wheel and 6,000 rpm for work-piece spindle.
