Original Press Release:
Morris Welding & Machine Develop Morriskeyseater
WILDWOOD, FL, JUNE 6, 2007: Morris Welding & Machine designed and developed MorrisKeyseater. The patented product can be found at MorrisKeyseater.com. MorrisKeyseater is a unit that fits onto any mill whether manual or CNC. MorrisKeyseater can be programmed by any CNC control and follows a CNC path by way of linear bearings. It cuts internal and external keys, splines, tapered keys, internal grooves, blind keys, and helicols. The machine is driven by the mills spindle, and the base is clamped directly to the mills table. The machine moves following a pattern using X and Z movements only.
MorrisKeyseater cuts material using live tooling. The tooling is water cooled and does not harden the material unlike many other broaching or keyseating machinery. Tooling for the MorrisKeyseater is approximately a 1/3 of the cost of traditional broaches. Larger end mills can be sharpened and reused unlike broaches. The tooling can be changed in less than 30 seconds with a quick turn of an allen wrench. The MorrisKeyseater also does not require different size spindles for each internal diameter, and keys can be cut without cutting the full length of the part.
As an option, MorrisKeyseater can be integrated with a 4th axis. There are also larger and smaller versions of the machine depending on the application. Another option is an adjustable roller bed stand that the machine sits on. The machine can easily be loaded and unloaded by sliding the machines base onto or off the mills bed.
