Limitless marking - Flexibility is the key!

Limitless marking - Flexibility is the key!

The latest top product of Hommel + Keller Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH combines full flexibility and precision of the well-proven segment marking tool 431 with decisive additional features: Work pieces can be marked to a shoulder. The marking segments are exchangeable according to the particular requirements and the reading direction does not have to be considered (with centrical layout).

Hommel + Keller offers various tool systems, which allow the marking to be effected directly on the turning lathe respectively on the machining centre. This integration into the production process brings about enormous advantages:

Cost saving

• Marking of different work piece diameters
• Increased wear resistance due to special surface hardening
• Applicable on various machine types (shank adapter)
• Complete machining of the work piece
• Flexible and economic adjustment of the marking text due to exchangeable segments
• Reduction of unit costs

 

Specifications

A concrete application put the oustanding features of our product novelty to the test:

• Requirement: marking to a shoulder
• Requested was a tool which should be applicable for all work pieces independent of the reading direction (with centrical layout)
• The marking tool should be matching different CNC- / CAM-controlled swiss type autolathes
• Work pieces with diverse diameters should be marked

 

Application requirements

Result

Tool:
Applied was zeus® tool no. 432-08R300818. Its spring return system makes it suitable for the marking of various work piece diameters.

          

 

Flexibility:
Exchangeable marking segments guarantee a fast and easy adjustment of the requested text.
If a completely different text is needed, the whole segment support unit incl. return spring and segments can be exchanged.

                  

 

Design:
The modular shank design of tool 432 allows an economic application on all common CNC- / CAM-controlled swiss type autolathes.

 

Process reliability:

• Uniform unwinding on the work piece
• High dimension accuracy
• Precise positioning of the tool
• Reproducibility can be 100 % guaranteed

 

Reduced wear:
A special surface hardening prevents premature abrasive wear.

Reading direction:
The segments are designed in a way that they can be inserted both-sided. This makes the tool applicable for all work pieces independent from the reading direction.
