The increasing complexity of bar turning workpieces requires an ever greater number of operations and, therefore, a greater number of tools on automatic lathes. Bar turners end up finding themselves limited by the capacity of their machines in terms of tool positions, and new solutions need to be found. Bimu looked into the issue and has developed several innovative concepts.
Dual tool holders for machines using standard tool holders with a 10 or 12 mm cross section To compensate for the lack of tool positions which may be present on machines, Bimu has recently developed type 400RD tool holders. The benefit of these is that they have not 1 but 2 inserts! Available in 10 mm or 12 mm versions, they can be fitted on all machines which use these sections.
A single tool holder allows two distinct applications
400RD holders are currently available with the following insert combinations:
.
2 Bimu 400line inserts (please note that this version is also available for 16 mm sections)
.
1 Bimu 400line insert + 1 "hook tool" type platten
.
1 Bimu 400line insert + 1 ISO VCGT11 type insert
