Without excellent tool preparation, it is impossible to achieve great turning results. When using tools which can be resharpened, this operation is therefore of prime importance. The Agathon 175 DIA has been designed to ensure easy use and perfect quality sharpening.
Mr. Bandi, CEO of Bandi SA, high precision turning company with more than 150 NC automatic lathes, is convinced that his company’s success can be partly attributed to their choice of production equipment. It’s not wise to try and economise on equipment if you want to continue to be successful in this market. This is why Bandi SA focusses on high and consistent standards of quality when it comes to choosing machines.
Good tool preparation for good results Mr. Bandi is convinced that running a bank of machines with 150 machines without an Agathon 175 DIA would be unthinkable. The top priority at the current time is resharpening steel carbides. Without good tool preparation it is not possible to achieve good turning results. In this context, an Agathon 175 DIA is the logical complement to a high end machine. The advantages of these two machines are very clear.
A quality sharpening machine… Mr. Crevoisier, a specialist at Bandi SA appreciates the advantages of the Agathon 175 DIA machine: as the micrometer approach and the angular adjustments also deliver on their promises. The micrometer approach is equipped with a fixed drum which does not rotate when the tool holder oscillates, thus guaranteeing additional safety for the target dimension. Even when making angular adjustments with the basic tool holder the user can count on the accuracy of the angle set. Agathon offers a wide range of accessories for the 175 DIA. These are designed to cover almost any application imaginable. In addition to the standard tool holder, which is available in two sizes, it is also worth mentioning the manual sharpening table, the chip breaker grinder and the chip breaker sharpening machine. The hard metal tool sharpening machine can also be fitted with a device to sharpen milling tools for circular and conical sharpening.
