High-Precision Fine Adjustment with Balancing

• The demands on finish boring tools are primarily the increasing improvements on the surface finish and at the same time the higher cutting speeds to acieve shorter machining times.
• The finish boring is a demanding machining operation. The M03 micro-adjustable boring system has provided a tried and tested performance withits high precision adjustment mechanism. From the rough adjustment for the rotating clamping holder to the graduation collar on the external diameter allows fine adjustment of up to 0.00008" (0.002 mm) on the diameter.
• The fine adjustments to compensate the insert wear or after measurment are performed rather effortlessly and with extreme accuracy while the tools are still mounted on the machine spindle. The tooling dimensions are perfectly maintained without the clamping requirements during and after the fine adjustments.
• Balancing: when the insert position is changed, an automatic balancing adjustment is made via the convenient balancing weight that lies diametrically opposite side. This is a balancing operation on the adjustment plane for the insert.
• This is doen with seven M03 tool bodies to cover a diameter range from 24.8 to 206 mm. Maximum changeover accuracy is guaranteed with the ABS connection (25, 32, 40, 50 and 63).
• For finish boring of larger diameters from 100mm to 206mm, the three adaptable and replaceable bridges are used along with a basic ABS 63 body unit.
• Like the whole M03 product range, the bridges are constructed with lightweight material and a hard surface coating that alllows high machining speed and durability.
• The NEW and IMPROVED M03 Speed Micro-adjustable Finish Boring Head also offers flexibility with its replaceable insert holders. This is the unique and new feature fo the improved M03 product line.
• The user has the option of performing forward and reverse machining with one tool that utilizes the insert holders with different approach angles. Using a specially designed connection, the changeover is fast, uncomplicated and safe.

The Modular Tool Range

• For diameters over 206 millimeters, KOMET offers bridging tools.
• In a modular design, these consist of standard elements and elements adjusted to length to customer specification.

The Advantages

• Unique: our micro-adjustable head with automatic balancing in the slide.
• Micro-adjustment steps per graduation of 0.002 mm in the diameter.
• Geometrically the same as previous M03 design - and therefore compatible.
• Micro-adjustment without the need for clamping.
