With the new system the carbide pin can be easily
pushed out by means of a spring catch, saving time and allowing for a change of the knurling wheel also in small machine spaces.

THE MODULAR PRODUCT CONCEPT
The modular product concept has been applied to all tools suitable for swiss type autolathes. The basic tool holder (shank size 8 x 8 mm) can be easily converted with the different shank adaptors which are available for sizes 10 x 10 mm, 12 x 12 mm and 16 x 16 mm. A flexible and cost-effective use is thus possible.
NEW CUT KNURLING TOOL SERIES FOR EXCELLENT KNURLING PROFILES
The product series RF1, RF2 and RF3 have been completely redesigned. The product advantages lie mainly in the easier tool handling and the increased process stability: In order to reduce laborious setting of the tool, the zeus® knurling tools have been equipped with setting, positioning and scaling aids. Easily convertible, all tool series can be used for left- / and right-hand use. Setting spindles allow a precise setting of the cut knurling head and a fine adjustment for manufacturing high-quality knurling profiles.
POWDER METAL NEW PRODUCT STANDARD
A substantial product modification represents the change in the knurling wheels’ material. During the last year, the complete standard stock programme has been converted from HSS knurling wheels to powder metal (PM S 590) knurling wheels. Due to the material´s special characteristics, the knurling wheels’ lifetime can be substantially prolonged. Hommel + Keller has therefore changed over to Powder Metal as the basic stock material. The premium quality line will hence be available at once.
