Machining Unit for Robot Applications The Max 40 CO from Suhner is a large machining unit for use in robot applications. It comes equipped with an ISO 40 or an optional HSK 63 spindle. A coolant-through-spindle is possible for both toolholder options. Clamping and tool retention are accomplished by a spring-loaded drawbar assembly. The tool release is done with a pneumatic cylinder. A disc-spring pack- age including a special tool-gripper system with an included mechanical ratio can develop a tool retention force up to 12 kN. Process capability can be monitored using four proximity switches controlling the following functions: tool clamped, tool released, home position without tool, and home position without tool and no rotation (tool change position). Up to 400 Nm torque at the spindle allows for more drilling and milling operations, according to the company. This also de- mands a strong robot. Clamped workpieces of alloy steel can be milled completely and followed by a drilling operation of 21-mm diameter. :: Suhner Mfg. Inc. 706-235-8046 suhner.com Cutter for High-Speed Aluminum Machining The Carmex AMT (aluminum mill-thread) cutter delivers high sur- face finish, good chip evacuation and is constructed of solid carbide to absorb cutting forces in high-speed aluminum machining. Avail- able in a cylindrical shank or Weldon shank, the cutter is designed to minimize the tendency of aluminum to stick to the cutting tool edges. The uncoated smooth cutting edge, equipped with coolant hole pass-through, generates high thread surface and is especially useful for both right- and left-hand internal threads. The AMT tool is especially useful for applications in the aero- space and automotive industries and others where there is demand for both high speed and high precision in the machining of alumi- num. The tool can also be used in applica- tions involving cast iron and stainless steels. It is available in a variety of sizes and thread configurations. :: Carmex Precision Tools LLC 262-628-5030 carmexusa.com PRODUCTS 58 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: DECEMBER 2016
