Horn's Technology Days are back after four years. From 14-16 June at its Tübingen headquarters in Germany, cutting tool manufacturer Horn will offer insights into production using its products.
Carbide insert and cutting tool manufacturer Horn reports that an application at Jörg Bamann Mechanische Werkstatt – a job shop in Geretsried, Germany – is demonstrating that a Horn DAH high-feed, indexable-insert milling cutter in a B-axis lathe is able to helically interpolate a circular groove into a round steel workpiece 14 times faster than a toroidal mill.
Tooling manufacturer Horn highlights one of its customers that is saving costs by not only turning a drive shaft on a multi-tasking CNC lathe but also milling a spline in the same set-up, an operation that was previously subcontracted out.
To highlight the numerous solutions it offers for milling freeform surfaces, German tooling manufacturer Horn, whose UK subsidiary is in Ringwood, Hampshire, points to a recent application involving the machining of a plastic injection mould for mass producing the lens of a headlamp.
Tooling specialist Horn has announced an expansion of its product portfolio to include tools tipped with cubic boron nitride (CBN) for machining difficult materials such as superalloys and hardened steels.
A new, modular system for reaming large diameter holes has been introduced by Horn and will be on show for the first time in the UK at this year’s MACH.
