Hoffmann Group attends the EMO with all its innovations in quality tools
September 8, 2011
The European and world market imposes new requirements in materials is concerned. That have a long service life and seeking stable, corrosion-proof materials. Hoffmann Group commitment to innovation and thanks to the study of these new materials, has managed to develop a series of high-performance for the Garant brand cutting tools to offer their customers machining strategies and optimized services.
The demands of the composites of GFRP, CFRP, fibre and Sandwich materials for cutting tools are high and varied. In machining processes often users are faced with the dangers of delamination, overheating, formation of burrs and abrasion.
Hoffmann Group has designed their tools for milling and drilling of Garant of the family 'Black ring' and 'Yellow ring' especially for this type of challenges and it has been heavily expanded these two groups of products in its new catalogue 42, published in August this year. This wide range of tools and services for new materials, all from a single supplier, is unique in the sector.
Zeroclamp
But in addition to the modern materials, there are other areas where the Hoffmann Group has also invested and researched. With Garant ZeroClamp, a revolutionary and highly flexible zero-point clamping system, Hoffmann Group manages to increase the security of processes, reduce resetting times and improve productivity for both.
Thanks to its modular professional is suitable for a multitude of special applications. Garant ZeroClamp opens pneumatically and subject through a system of springs permanent and free of wear and tear that requires no external force. Due to this principle of subjection, the system achieves a particularly high retention force. To release the strained only connection of compressed air 5 bar is required and that all the forces acting toward the Center always gets the maximum required precision.
Garant ZeroClamp allows to greatly increase profitability in production, since they reduce equipment, change and unemployment 90% times.
Garant eco
For the tronzado, Hoffmann Group has created Garant echo (Efficient Cooling), an innovative technology developed to handle tools and tools PSC, thanks to a cooling correctly oriented between the chip and edge, reduces the thermal load, improvement of swarf and wear of the tool is lower. This system is based on modified VDI tool, which provides the advantage that the users can continue to use their media of conventional press. Part of the acquisition of a VDI Garant tool echo and a support of torque corresponding do not generate additional costs.
With the tronzado program Hoffmann Group is able to cover a wide range of applications. The tools support, manufactured steel highly resistant offer, thanks to the convex subject of reversible cutting plates, a maximum resistance to axial and radial cutting forces. This allows the user to take advantage of the ability of total performance of the insert of reversible Court and at the same time achieve highest quality surfaces. The modular system of tools (cutting material: HB 7020, CBN and PCD) covers both applications of the grooved front and also the profiling and allows to work with a broad spectrum of materials; since steel classic, through materials of copper and zinc to plastics reinforced by glass and carbon fibers.
