Schwanog’s insertable form tool system is designed to offer superior quality and high efficiency in the manufacture of precision parts for industries such as medical, automotive, aerospace and others.
The insertable tools can be applied to a variety of applications, including OD and ID grooving, form drilling, thread whirling, single-point threading, turning, milling, broaching of serrations, shaving, skiving and polygon turning.
The company says the system can be used on any type of machine such as a Swiss-type, conventional and multi-spindle automatic lathes, rotary transfer machines, horizontal and vertical milling centers, and more.
It is said the main advantage of the insertable tooling systems is in quick tool changeovers directly in the machine, which can result in sizable reductions in machine downtime while significantly increasing productivity. The system is also said to offer superior surface finish quality and high repeatability.
