New modular tools for reaming operations

Horn (Hall 20, Stand 340) will launch new tools for reaming. Offering precision, flexibility and easy handling, DR-Large series reamers have exchangeable cutter heads with multiple solid-carbide inserts. The interface of the insert seats offers precise interchangeability to within a few microns and tool setting is unnecessary when exchanging the cutter head. The versatile, interchangeable reaming system is suitable for bore diameters from 140 to 200.2 mm. Six cutter heads cover the range of diameters in 10 mm increments, with two sizes of head fitting on each size of reamer shank.

Solving every component cleaning task

Ecoclean (Hall 6, Stand 549) will showcase several new developments, including the EcoCwave for challenging aqueous cleaning tasks. Designed for immersion and spraying processes, the system has a vacuum-tight work chamber and is capable of anything from preliminary and intermediate cleaning, right up to precision cleaning. To achieve this, the all-rounder comes with two or three tanks as standard, which are arranged vertically and designed for optimal flow conditions. This prevents chips and dirt from accumulating. Each tank has a separate wash solution circuit with full-flow and bypass filtration.

Kerf to unveil cutting technologies

In Hall 17 on Stand 309, Kerf Developments will be expecting its RUR2500P high-definition plasma cutting machine (pictured) to create a spark of attraction for show visitors. The machine, with its UltraSharp cutting technology, incorporates a rigid frame design that is ultrasonically stress-relieved and manufactured to highly accurate tolerances to provide high performance. The RUR2500P has a cut width of 2 m, while the modular design permits the tailoring of table dimensions to the requirements of the end user.

Alongside the RUR2500P, Kerf will be introducing innovations like the new Fineline 300 Plasma unit from Lincoln Electric that incorporates advanced piercing technology and a new water mist system. The Fineline 300HD allows full user control from a single interface, so customers can rapidly change plasma current and gas pressures for better cut quality and longer consumable life.
