Dimensionally accurate - even for large drilling depths
For years, the KOMET KUB Pentron solid drill has stood for precise drilling under extreme conditions. This tool was previously only available in the 4xD and 5xD length/diameter ratios, but the Besigheim tool specialists have now also developed 2xD and 3xD versions so that the high-performance indexable insert drill can be used in an even more versatile manner. The CS (Custom Solution) variant has drawn particular attention with its diameter/length ratio of 6xD. As a result, the KOMET KUB Pentron CS, which has been optimised for Key Account and industry segment requirements, does without guide elements and is extremely competitive compared to its guided counterparts on the basis of its performance data.
Indexable insert reaming: Simplified index exchange
Indexable insert technology has revolutionised reaming with multiple cutting edge reamers and has set new standards in terms of cost efficiency and functionality. The company has developed new high-precision indexable insert reaming tools that are even easier to operate. In previous tools, each insert was assigned a specific insert seat identified by the letters A, B, C, etc., but this positioning has now become redundant. Users can fit the indexable inserts into the new KOMET indexable insert reaming tool in any order - making errors virtually impossible and reducing the logistical effort required.
Increase in performance with diamond cutting materials
As already mentioned with milling, the KOMET GROUP is focussing on developing tools with ultra-hard cutting materials. One example of this is the expansion of the range of ISO indexable inserts with diamond cutting edges to a total of more than 900 items. In addition to KOMET PCD products, CVD thick film diamond-tipped inserts can now also be supplied. All variants are manufactured using the latest production technology, such as laser machining and high-vacuum soldering, which results in high-quality cutting edges and variable geometries as well as improved cutting results and longer tool life.
