Amazing facts!
── Introducing ideas and technologies ──
The G-one Holder Intermittent Specification utilizes cutting simulation to achieve high-precision intermittent hole machining through optimal cutting edge placement. Compared to conventional G-one holders, it ensures superior roundness for intermittent holes and enables high-efficiency machining. It delivers “improved productivity,” “high-precision machining,” and “reduced tooling costs”.
Improved machining efficiency
Good!
This is the point!
Comparison of accuracy
Good!
Cost reduction
Good!
Reduced setup time
Good!
This is the point!
Optimal cutting edge arrangement for intermittent hole machining delivers superior roundness
Good!
The resultant cutting force is applied in the direction of the finishing blade, which deteriorates the machining accuracy
By constantly controlling the resultant cutting force in the opposite direction to the finishing edge, the internal diameter can be fininshed during return cut
This is the point!
Reduced setup time through fewer cutting edges
Good!
Setting details: diameter adjustment is for finishing only
Development / product concept
“Current status and challenges”
For high-precision hole machining in aluminum workpieces, we have established “single-pass machining” from the stock hole using the “G-one Holder”.
However, with increasing product sophistication and weight reduction, demand is growing for machining interrupted holes such as notches and tolerance holes. Conventional products faced the challenge that reducing machining conditions was necessary to prevent deterioration in roundness.
“Development points”
Determining the optimal cutting edge arrangement through cutting simulations during interrupted hole machining. Controlling cutting resistance to suppress roundness deterioration caused by large finishing tool diameters during feed machining. Achieving stable machining accuracy by ensuring adequate clearance during return machining. This achieves high efficiency, low cost, and improved workability for interrupted hole machining.
