ALSO AVAILABLE- Smartbore™ Radio Link
Radio-link built into the Adjuster also allows another possibility. Explains Rigibore®’s Don Charlton, Project Manager, Research & Development: “we wanted to give our customers a choice where they could display the adjustment data – sometimes it’s more appropriate close-in to the tool, at other times the tool-face is too cramped. So with Smartbore ™, the data can also be relayed to something much bigger and more readable – a nearby computer screen, say, or even an easily viewed large plasma screen mounted high in the manufacturing hall.”
THE SMARTBORE SYSTEM-
Smartbore™ is an exceptionally flexible system: as well as being incorporated into new tools it can also readily be retrofitted to existing tools (Smartbore™ units replacing, for instance, older UFP cartridges). Suitable for a wide range of boring applications, it can be incorporated into tools to fit any machine spindle with multiple Smartbore™ cutting edges per tool for multiple bore machining.
Flexible design:
- Minimum bore: 28mm on diameter if cartridge based, 16mm if built-in
- Adjustment resolution on diameter: 1µm/.00004” on diameter
- Relative accuracy > 95% over adjustment range
- Adjustment range: 0.6mm/.024” on diameter
- Multiple Smartbore ™ cutting edges per tool for multiple bore machining
- Designed to suit any application/fit any machine spindle.
- Adjuster can be used with any number of tools
- Unprecedented ease-of-use: manual adjustment with easily legible digital readout, even when tools are difficult to access
- Metric or imperial measurements display
- Rechargeable batteries for the Adjuster
