Kaiser launches new EWBD boring head
KAISER Precision Tooling, a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the automotive, mil/aero, energy, medical and watch-making industries, has announced its new EWBD precision boring head. The new head is self-balancing and ultra-light, thanks to an innovative aluminium construction.
Ideal for deep bores which require long tool combinations, the EWBD precision boring head delivers excellent precision due to its internal self-balancing mechanism. This makes it well-suited to boring for machine pedestals, gearbox housing, cranes, hydraulic manifold and vehicle manufacturing.
The new head includes the world’s first PSC interface made entirely of aluminium. This means it is 55% lighter than standard steel boring heads. To give the most choice to customers, the EWBD is also available in steel.
A large, clear digital display provides a resolution of Ø 0.001 mm. The display is easy to read, improving usability, and practically eliminates operator errors. To enable high cutting speeds of up to 2000 m/min, the EWBD is equipped with a highly accurate self-balancing mechanism on its full adjustment range. Due to the light weight of the tool, handling is easy and complications with ATC are minimised.
“KAISER has applied truly innovative technology to create an industry-leading tool,” says Mr Peter Elmer, CEO of KAISER Precision Tooling. “Light, accurate and rigid, the EWBD boring head delivers excellent results while being easy to use – a perfect match.”
There are two variants of the EWBD high performance boring head: the EWBD 100 AL aluminium version, and the EWBD 68 in steel. Both are available now.
