Located in Schaumburg, Illinois, KOMET of America has introduced a series of toolholders that enable precise, eccentric adjustment of the cutting edge radii on tools with fixed insert seating. These toolholders feature KOMET’s ABS® connection. Easy to adjust, these holders–by means of an integral eccentric sleeve in the ABS connection–allow sensitive setting of both fine boring and solid drilling tools for the purpose of adjusting the diameter. To achieve this, the ABS clamping screw is simply loosened and the eccentric sleeve is adjusted to the correct dimension against the scale. Once the ABS clamping screw has been tightened again, the tool is ready for use.
The precision adjustment provides for incremental graduation equal to 0.02 mm / 0.0008 inch on the diameter and total adjustment +0.25 mm / 0.0098 inch on the diameter. The scale on the tool makes adjustment easy.
The compact design of the ABS Eccentric Adjusting Holders facilitates its use for both single- and multi-spindle machine tools. The overall dimensions of the ABS eccentric holders are the same as its standard non-adjusting counterpart. This allows you to replace a standard ABS holder with a KOMET eccentric ABS holder without a change in overall dimensions.
Some of the advantages of the ABS eccentric adjusting device include a high degree of static and dynamic rigidity with minimal imbalance, performance at high spindle speeds, and internal coolant supply.
