Ace in the Hole
Also on display at India’s largest tool show was the SpadeRush which made its exhibition debut at IMTEX.
As one of the newest TaeguTec launches on display, the SpadeRush is another marvel of metal-cutting engineering due to the new line’s high productivity head changeable drills for large diameter hole-making.
Available as a standard drill in 3xD and 5xD for a diameter range of 26-41 mm, the SpadeRush’s unique clamping technology enables customers to quickly change drill heads without removing the clamping screw from the holder – an important feature that greatly reduces tool setting times and also machining downtime.
Furthermore, the asymmetrical base design of TaeguTec’s SpadeRush means error proof insert mounting, high tolerance, improved tool accuracy as well as repeatability, and an excellent surface finish.
Typhoon Power
Held another tool that garnered much interest was the Typhoon, which deploys high-spindle speeds without having to invest in replacing the company’s machines.
TaeguTec’s revolutionary new technology used in the Typhoon facilitates high-speed machining on existing set-ups enabling increased efficiency, accuracy and improves the quality of the workpiece while saving significantly on cost and time.
High-speed machining remains unexplored in the industry owing to reasons of high cost and set-up, but TaeguTec’s Typhoon opens up big possibilities of high-speed finishing on several existing good, low-medium spindle-speed, high-rigidity machines.
The Typhoon system uses the existing machine’s coolant supply, reaching rotation speeds of up to 40,000 RPM while the main machine spindle remains idle.
This unique coolant-driven high-speed machining spindle is recommended when high RPMs are required on standard CNC machines.
The Typhoon combines roughing applications using regular tools at regular parameters and low diameter finishing applications at high RPMs. The Typhoon can be mounted on tool magazines without any special adaptation and can be handled by ATC, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of the existing machine in the process.
Quad Rushing
TaeguTec’s QuadRush was also on display and is an extremely popular and productive product line for grooving, parting, lateral turning and chamfer machining. The line’s unique features include a four cutting edge insert line allowing excellent performance and repeatability.
With the line having now expanded into external threading applications, the unique, multi-corner four cutting edge insert, known for high accuracy and surface quality, are available in 60 degrees and 55 degrees partial profiles. What’s more, all QuadRush threading inserts are compatible with QuadRush standard cartridges and holders.
The TaeguTec products and solutions were exceptionally well received at the exhibition and kept the salespeople and engineers busy for the entire duration of the seven days that included a weekend and a national holiday.
“The overwhelming response and interest from our customers and visitors augurs well for the times to come,” said Mr. Krishnan.
