In addition to standard X and Z axis tools, styles such as adjustable tools, speed increasers, and internal coolant tools with capabilities up to 140 bar (2000 PSI) are now available in an assortment of standard BMT tooling sizes, including BMT 45, 55, 65, 75, and 85.

All Heimatec BMT tooling is supplied with the company’s patented u-tec® changing system, which provides flexibility to standard ER collet systems. The output of the tools can be easily changed through the use of adapters including arbors for face mills, Weldon for side lock, or ER collet extensions. The built-in polygon drive connection allows for extremely high-power transmission. In addition, the internal collet nut design further allows the cutting tool to be in closer proximity to the bearing, which results in much higher rigidity. The cutting tools last longer and yield an improved finish, as a result of this Heimatec design feature.

All Heimatec BMT tooling is manufactured at the company’s home facility in Germany and is now stocked at Platinum Tooling located in the Chicagoland area, which serves the North American machine tool market.

Platinum Tooling has an extensive manufacturer’s representative network across North America to help service our many authorized machine tool distributors, industrial supply companies, and OEM’s.

Producing guide bushings since 1935, Dunner has the know-how to manufacture guide bushings in different bore profiles, guide lengths and insert material. In addition, silicone sealants can be applied to limit chip penetration. All guide bushings are available in standard (15 microns or less), ultra-precision (5 microns or less) and ultimate ultra-precision (2 microns or less).

The company manufacturers bronze, ceramic and titane (Meehanite®) guide bushings for customer machining needs. All guide bushings are ready for machine use with finished internal surfaces and geometries designed to offer the best result with nominal size material.

Manufactured from a special cast iron, titane/Meehanite® offers an excellent compromise between the coefficient of friction and wear. Suitable for stainless steel, titanium and other materials with a tendency to “load up,” it minimizes part marking and is used extensively in medical part production.

Using high-tech ceramic, Ceramic/NewSurf® offers one of the lowest friction coefficients on the market. Specifically designed for titanium, stainless steel and other difficult materials, these bushings are often used for medical implants, in particular when the tightest production tolerances are required.

Designed with steel body and bronze insert for durability, the bronze guide bushing is the most cost-effective material to prevent marking. Best suited for non-medical parts production, the guide bushing is suitable for all non-copper materials and clamping workpiece material up to h8 tolerance.

The Dunner DunnAir Adaptive Guide Bushing System is designed to replace the original guide bushing supplied by the machine builder. The easy-to-use system adds flexibility and consistency to the machining process. With this system, the need for ground stock is eliminated. DunnAir is self-adjusting and consistent and offers four different positions for flexibility and control. In addition, the bushing has a clamping range of 0.5 mm (0.020”) to accommodate material variance, as well as eliminate downtime. Lastly, DunnAir is CNC controlled, so customers can choose the position based on the application.

Benefits of cut knurling include maximum precision and surface quality, knurling of thin-walled components without deformation and time savings due to faster cutting speed and feed rate. Additional advantages are machining of virtually all materials (including gray cast iron and plastic), zero or only minimal alternation of the workpiece diameter and minimal surface compaction.

In form knurling, machining of the workpiece by cold forming compresses the surface of the workpiece. Knurling is possible up to a workpiece shoulder, at any position of the workpiece of the inner and end faces as well as conical. All knurling profiles according to DIN 82 can be produced.

Among its offering, QUICK also has knurling tools with interchangeable jaws and knurling wheels available from stock. Wheels with special dimensions and pitches can be customized.

QUICK marking tools can mark workpieces in seconds and on a wide variety of geometries independent of workpiece diameter. They are ideal for machines with small installation space and can mark up to a shoulder.
