Floyd displays new product line at open houses

At the Star Micronics open house (4-7th October 2016) and the Citizen and Tornos open houses (11-13th October), UK manufacturers will get their first opportunity to take a look at the next generation of Applitec Pro-Line sliding head tools as well as new turning innovations from Floyd Automatic Tooling.

With a supporting presence at all three of these events, Floyd Automatic will introduce the new Pro-line, which incorporates the benefits of both the high performance, diverse and best-selling Top-Line and Eco-Line programs for cost-effective turning solutions.

With the PRO-Line, Applitec have re-engineered the twin screw insert program to generate unsurpassed rigidity and performance at lower prices with a new patented insert clamping system. The Pro-Line program consists of two series of holders and inserts that include the 630/640 series for shorter and wider inserts for grooving and turning. Whilst the 650/660 series provides a thinner, longer insert for parting off up to Ø20mm with a 2mm wide insert with new geometries

Alongside the new Pro-Line is an important addition to the Iso-Line program. The new Cermet range of inserts have been launched to offer excellent surface finishes, extended tool life and heat resistance when machining at high speeds. The FN-X8°and ENP-KX ground inserts offer excellent results for finishing, whilst the EN-KM range of sintered inserts deliver high performance on heavy duty cutting. This new ISO-Line of Cermet inserts can be used in conjunction with Applitec’s Jet-Line HP through coolant holders.

Also on show at the Open House events will be the new 'back working' tools that are now commonplace on many sliding head machines. The Flo-Tool range of easy setting, height adjustable tools has now been further enhanced with insert holders for the Eco-Line and Top-Line inserts from Applitec. These holders give increased capability and machining solutions for back end working.
