General information

General

General
The zeus® RF3 series is designed for the fine machining of very small and thin-walled work pieces in axial tool direction. The product series is suitable for producing straight and RGE profiles with high demands on surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Due to the special design with three knurling wheels operating, the lateral pressure is reduced to a minimum. zeus® RF3: A specialist for knurling thin or pressure-sensitive parts, as for example spindles, tubes, or delicate bushings.

Tool direction:

  • Feed knurling

Knurling profile on work piece DIN 82:

Application advantage

Process stability:

  • Minimal vibration, high quality visual profiles, close tolerances
  • No lateral pressure - reduced strain on work piece and machine
  • Controlled tool change: precise fitting of the knurl and exact bearing of the knurl holding unit
  • Precise setting of the required tooth depth and work piece diameter
  • Ground guiding grooves of the knurl holder fixtures

Efficiency:

  • Processing of different work piece diameters possible
  • Higher feed and speed rates, reduced production times
  • Reduced wear on knurling wheels
  • Modular tool design - easy adjustment to different application requirements

Tool handling:

  • Reduced setting time, user-friendly handling due to easy pre-setting of the work piece diameter and the tooth depth
  • Presetting of the knurling tool by means of setting ring: easy and precise fine adjustment  
  • Optimal lock in of the knurl holders

Modular product design:

  • Modular exchangeable knurl holder-jaws: for retooling to a form knurling tool RD3 (Non-cutting forming)
  • Modular exchangeable knurl holder-jaws: retooling possible for knurling to a shoulder
