RD3 General
The zeus® RD3 series for the axial machining of workpieces has been completely redesigned. The new tool concept meets the high expectations towards rigidity and precision for processing smallest workpiece diameters. The tool is especially suitable for high precision turned-parts for the optical or watch industry, the medical industry or the electronical industry. The product series is suitable for straight and RGE knurling profiles.

Tool direction:

  • Feed knurling

Application advantages

Process stability:

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

Efficiency:

  • Processing of different work piece diameters possible
  • Higher feed and speed rates, reduced producing times
  • Reduced wear on knurling wheels

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 cut knurling tool RF3 (swarf removal machining)
  • Modular exchangeable knurl holder jaws: retooling possible for knurlings to a shoulder
