HORN is introducing a new reaming system and other high performance products at MACH 2010
STAND 5530 , HALL 5
Horn Cutting Tools is introducing important tool system developments for reaming, grooving and high feed milling at MACH 2010. In addition to exhibiting on its own 120 sq m stand (5530), the company is providing tooling in support of live demonstrations on the DMG and Mori Seiki stands.
Horn System DR Reaming
The Horn System DR range of high productivity high precision insert based modular reamers, developed for rapid sizing of blind and through hole diameters from 11.9 mm to 100.6 mm. The reamers are produced under licence from the Swiss based boring and reaming specialist Urma AG, with whom Horn has a long standing relationship. The system exhibits established Horn virtues of combining very high performance with excellent tool life.
Horn Mini with Sintered Chipbreaker
A new series of sintered inserts for the Mini system with application-specific chip breaker geometries provide a significant advance in cutting performance compared with conventional plain ground inserts. Especially on internal machining applications in ‘difficult’ materials the chip breaking capability enhances productivity, finish and tool life.
The existing Mini tool system has a proven reputation for grooving, boring, chamfering, threading and axial grooving. These diverse applications are significantly expanded by the new range. In comparison with a conventional ground insert the sintered geometries produce smaller, discontinuous chips, exhibit high resistance to temperature and low coefficients of friction.
DAH tool system for high feed milling
The new milling cutters of the Horn DAH system have been specially developed for the requirements in tool making and mould making for roughing with high feed rates and low cutting depths. The sophisticated geometry of the triple edged inserts ensure favourable distribution of the cutting forces, by directing the cutting forces in the axial direction, reducing the spindle load in shear and offering significant productivity advantages. Their special cutting geometry, which combines ‘soft’ cutting with fast plunging, enables cutting depths up to 1.2 mm, providing a clear advantage over many competing tools
