Tooling Expert BENZ Inc. Presenting Four New Products at IMTS 2014
1888 Press Release BENZ Inc. to Present Four New Products at IMTS 2014, including the LinA and LinS broaching tools, Caxis Angle Head, and Mini FlexAngle Head. CharlotteGastoniaRock Hill, NCSC BENZ Inc. has announced that it will be presenting four new tooling systems during IMTS, September 813, 2014, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. The company will be demonstrating its new LinA and LinS broaching tools, Caxis Angle Head, and Mini FlexAngle Head in Booth #2445 during the show. Both the BENZ LinA and LinS broaching tools perform I.D. and O.D. broaching with the one tool. I.D. and O.D. keyways, splines, torx and hex shapes can all be machined with the same tool. Use of the LinA and LinS broaching tools also reduces cycle time and increases machine life by eliminating wear on guideways and abuse on spindle bearings. The BENZ LinA broaching system changes the rotary motion of the live tool turret into a linear motion for broach and spline machining on turning centers. With the LinA in place, the programmer can position the Z axis to the start position and program a constant X feed until the broach depth has been achieved, at 1000 rpm/1000 strokes per minute. It utilizes an integrated feature that lifts the tool .006" off the material on the return stroke for a better surface finish and tool life. A typical 3/8" x .187" x 1.250" keyway would take almost two minutes to cut on a lathe. The LinA can machine the same feature in steel in 6 8 seconds. BENZ offers the LinA radial and axial models, available in both long and shortstroke versions. The BENZ LinS broaching tool system is a oneofakind system that enables programmers to broach splines, torx, hex and keyways on their machining centers. The LinS provides broaching solutions without compromising either spindle or spindlebearing integrity. By rotating the spindle at 50 rpm, the LinS provides ...
