EMO Report #7

October 2009

DC Swiss SA offers a complete range of precision tapping machine taps for all materials with different tensile strengths and breaking elongations. There is a wide range of appropriate cutting geometries to guarantee precise thread tapping that conforms to standards for superior fixing technology. New at EMO, the treat millers dedicated to small and precise fields.

New product range M. Ryf, Sales and Marketing director explained us how difficult it is to machine micro threads on hard material. The new product range of cutters brings some advantages:

One single miller for left and right threading
Threads close to the end of the boring
Possibility to machine threads that are interrupted
Ideal to reach 4x diameter deep What is needed to benefit from these?
Synchronized 3 CNC axes
HSC machining
Perfect concentricity of the clamping

More than that, some threat cutters can also cut the thread and remove any burr with a second cutter. This is ideal for medical application.

Need more information, do not hesitate to go to the website of the company.

The EMO has just published the figures, 100’000 visitors are expected... and tomorrow is alreay the last post from Milano... amazing!

Cheers
