New Groundbreaking Accure∙tec Anti-vibration Boring Bar from Walter Delivers High Productivity

The newest addition to the Walter lineup of tooling solutions features a patented vibration damping technology for maximum precision.

Waukesha, WI—Walter has unveiled its new Accure∙tec anti-vibration A3000 boring bar. Unlike conventional steel or solid carbide boring bars that are often ineffective at length/diameter ratios beyond 6 x Dc, the new Accure∙tec A3000, with its patented vibration dampening system, actually excels at length/diameter ratios beyond 6 x Dc -- the point where those conventional steel or solid carbide boring bars often prove less efficient.

Available in lengths of 6, 8, and 10 x Dc and boring bar diameters of 1.25, 1.50, and 2.00 in. (32, 40, and 50 mm) with additional sizes and lengths available on request. Capto C6, C8 connections along with HSK100T connections are also offered as standards. The new boring bars feature compact, robust QuadFit precision quick-change exchangeable heads which boost versatility and decrease downtime.

Internal coolant delivery for optimum chip removal is a feature that adds to the superior surface finishes obtained by the Accure∙tec A3000. It provides for fast and productive counterboring and internal profiling of parts in industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, and general metalworking.

Users of the new Accure∙tec A3000 boring bar will not have to worry about time-consuming "fine tuning" of the dampening function, as the patented anti-vibration feature is preset at the factory, so the tool is ready for quick application. The new tool is available with both negative and positive inserts. In addition, with the new Accure∙tec A3000 anti-vibration boring bar for turning, maximum productivity is ensured by its use of Tiger·tec® Silver grades.
