Safe-Lock™: Application at a leading provider in the industrial sealing technology
Problem:
- Tool pull-out at high precision tool holder
- All tests with different systems failed
- Only Weldon holders could be used
Target:
- Process reliability in machining with highly precise tool holding
Application: Roughing VA Steel
| Workpiece: | Gasket ring |
| Material: | 1.4571 (VA) |
| Maschine: | Mazak |
| Interface: | SK 40 |
| Tool: | Solid carbide, variable flute end mill, Ø 16 mm |
Application parameters:
Cutting Depth: axial (ap) 19.8 mm, radial (ae) Slot 16 mm
RPM: 1194 rpm
Cutting speed (vc): 60 m/min
Feed rate/flute (fz): 0.2 mm/r
Result:
- With Weldon holder and tooling 50–70 parts per cutter
- With Safe-LockTM 150 parts per cutter and no pull-out issue
- Machine runs much smoother with less vibrations
