D-cut tool
Cut any hole with helical machining!
Special cutting edge design enables helical machining
Special tools suitable for high-mix production
Various hole diameters handled by helical machining
20% less power consumption due to lower cutting resistance
Reduced spindle power achieves downsizing
Amazing facts!
── Introducing ideas and technologies ──
D-cut tool supports various hole diameters with a single tool by helical machining.
High-speed machining is realized with the most suitable cutting edge material. Low-resistance machining is achieved with multi-edge specifications and a unique edge runout adjustment mechanism.
Reduced spindle load enables spindle downsizing (in case of a conventional rough boring machine max diameter #50 to #40!).
This is the point!
Single tooling with helical machining
Excellent!

Reduced cutting resistance (torque)
Good!
More than 50% cutting resistance reduction
Reduced power consumption
Good!
20% power consumption reduction
Development / product concept
“Current status and challenges”
- Robots are replacing human tasks on factory production lines to increase efficiency.
- In order for robots to effectively perform a wide variety of tasks, tools need to be changed frequently.
- However, speeding up and automating this process is crucial to increasing productivity.
“Development points”
- The ‘ATC Stub Holder’ developed a quick-change system with a mechanical mechanism that does not require a power source, enabling speedy tool change only at the tip of the hand changer.
- As only the tip part is changed, there is no need to prepare several tool changers, thus contributing to lower costs and improved productivity.
