Wohlhaupter Fine Boring Heads Feature Self-Balancing, Digital Adjustment

Allied Machine and Engineering’s 465 (464) series of Wohlhaupter fine boring heads are internally balanced and include 3ETech digital adjustment as well as analog vernier scale adjustment. One 3ETech digital readout can be used on multiple adaptable 3ETech boring head tools, including VarioBore, 538 (537) large diameter cassettes, 465 (464) fine boring heads and custom tooling solutions.

The 465 (464) fine boring heads have a full diameter range of 1.968"-8.070" (50 mm-205 mm) with the lightweight aluminum Alu-Line boring heads ranging from 2.559" to 8.070" (65.00 mm-205.00 mm). These boring heads feature the standard Wohlhaupter MVS connection, providing the capability to adapt them to any machine.

With the digital diameter adjustment located externally rather than internally, maximum coolant pressure can be utilized and there is no concern about damaging digital components inside the tool during operation, the company says.

In high production settings (such as aerospace, automotive and heavy equipment industries), only one 3ETech module is needed for all adaptable heads, thereby reducing machining costs. With the internal self-balancing mechanism, the tool is said to remain stable throughout the tooling process and achieve tight tolerances and optimal surface finishes.
