Following the world premiere at the SIAMS show and the international show debut at AMB in September, Floyd Automatic is delighted to announce the arrival of the new PRO-Line range of indexable insert turning tools from Applitec.
Developed for sliding head turning centres, the new PRO-Line is undoubtedly the next generation of insert tooling for the small turned parts industry. Applitec is regarded as a world-leader in the development of precision tooling for Swiss type sliding head machines; and with the PRO-Line, the Swiss manufacturer is once again breaking new ground. The PRO-Line is a blend between the best-selling TOP-Line twin-screw insert products and the single-screw ECO-Line. What this gives the customer is an insert line that delivers diversity, performance and quality whilst meeting the cost-down demands of the modern machine shop.
Applitec has achieved this blend by re-engineering the twin-screw program. This evolution now permits the PRO-Line to reduce both material and production costs to provide twin-screw rigidity and performance at lower prices with a new patented insert clamping system. This unique clamping solution also ensures that even a broken insert with just one remaining edge can still be used.
The PRO-Line program consists of two series of holders and inserts. Firstly, the 630/640 grooving and turning series has been introduced with a short and wide insert geometry for robust turning applications. The second series, the 650/660 Series is a parting-off line that provides thin and long insert geometries for parting-off up to Ø20mm with a 2mm width. For customers already familiar with the Applitec lines, the Swiss manufacturer has made the new range available with many of the established insert geometries from the TOP-Line range; this includes the laser generated forms that have proven very successful.
