In one contour operation
Even an experienced machining specialist would imagine that it is not possible to fully machine the ball head and ball neck of a trailer coupling on one machining centre in just one clamping system, at least not immediately using conventional methods. To perform this operation, Manfred Herzog, Managing Director of HFT in Saxony, uses a KOMET® KomTronic® U-axis system, and is pleased with what it can achieve technically.
Precise contours freely programmable
Machining valve seats in cylinder heads usually requires the use of special tools which have been adapted to specific contours. At HPP High Performance Production GmbH, a KomTronic® U-axis system is used for this operation. We then not only do not need to acquire angle tools, we're also faster and more flexible”, con-firms Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Frank Melchert.
The new KOMET KUB Pentron™
“Reliable right from the start”
Since Thomas Nuss from NTM Zerspanung in Barßel-Reekenfeld has been using the KOMET KUB Pentron™ indexable insert borer in 5 x D, he can complete the whole operation of machining spacer sleeves without interruption. What is more, he has been able to cut the machining time almost in half.
KomTronic® u axis systems
Know-how in tool engineering describes that type of intelligence which can use electronic and data-processed elements, in conjunction with expertise in mechanics, to create a system known as 'mechatronic'.

Regulated quality
The cutting edge of the KomTronic® U-axis system can be dynamically adjusted during machining, allowing complex geometries to be created in one contour operation and for wear to be compensated for.
World first - KUB Pentron® steps on the gas
With the KUB Pentron™, KOMET® is moving up a gear in indexable insert drilling. The new tool system offers continuous solid drilling up to 5xD with outstanding performance data.

Thread milling in hardened steels from M1
MGF thread milling tools from JEL® are capable of making core counterbores and the thread in one process. This is done by plunging into the existing core hole, making the 90° core counterbore with countersink on the shank side and subsequent thread milling in one process to the programmed thread depth.
