Toolholders Enable Precise Adjustment of Cutting Edges



Schaumburg, IL...KOMET of America has introduced a series of toolholders that enable precise, eccentric adjustment of the cutting edge radii on tools with fixed insert seating. These toolholders feature KOMET's ABS® connection. Easy to adjust, these holders, by means of an integral eccentric sleeve in the ABS® connection, allow sensitive setting of both fine boring and solid drilling tools for the purpose of adjusting the diameter. To achieve this, the ABS® clamping screw is simply loosened and the eccentric sleeve is adjusted to the correct dimension against the scale. Once the ABS® clamping screw has been tightened again, the tool is ready for use.

The precision adjustment provides for incremental graduation equal to 0.02 mm / 0.0008 inch on the diameter and total adjustment ±0.25 mm / 0.0098 inch on the diameter. The scale on the tool makes adjustment easy.

The compact design of the ABS® Eccentric Adjusting Holders facilitates its use for both single and multi-spindle machine tools. The overall dimensions of the ABS® eccentric holders are the same as its standard non-adjusting counterpart. This allows you to replace a standard ABS® holder with a KOMET eccentric ABS® holder without a change in overall dimensions.

Many of the advantages of the ABS® eccentric adjusting device include a high degree of static and dynamic rigidity with minimal imbalance; performance at high spindle speeds; and internal coolant supply.
