Fine-Boring Systems, Romicron

Kennametal India Limited offers Romicron® Fine-Boring Systems that allows users to dial in extremely close tolerances while the tool is mounted in the machine tool, saving time and easing training. They can produce finish bores with tolerances of a few microns in diameter (1 micron = 0.001 mm) and bore-to-bore variations of just a few tenths of a micron. The need for delivering high-quality, tight-tolerance holes is growing significantly in many manufacturing segments, including aerospace, energy, transportation, and medical. Traditionally, this has meant dedicated jig boring or other fine-boring capital equipment requiring expensive setups, sister tooling, extensive operator training, and time-consuming test cuts. Newly upgraded Romicron precision fine boring tools from Kennametal can be used at existing machine tools and produce finished bores in automated production with tolerances of a few microns in diameter (1 micron = 0.001 mm or 0.000039 inches). Using cartridges or boring bars, every Romicron tool can be adjusted in diameter with a dial ring in 2-micron increments to achieve extremely close tolerances. To provide instant adjustment feedback, Romicron has a clicking mechanism so machine operators not only see the adjustment at the scale, but also hear and feel it. The new Romicron AVS tooling covers the diameter range of 25 to 79 mm (0.984 to 3.11 inches) and can run in high-speed spindles up to 20,000 RPM. It accommodates standard ISO inserts including the latest Kennametal Beyond™ tooling, and can run with high-pressure coolant systems up to 120 bar for better chip evacuation and reduced temperatures at the cutting edge. The company also offers Road Construction Tool, Indexable Inserts, Grade Kcpm20, Taps, High-Performance, Inserts for Face Mills, Turning Inserts, etc.
