Heule Tool Releases BSF Tool
August 1, 2014
Heule Precision Tools' new BSF tool has extended its range for automated high volume production of back spotfacing and counterboring. Now, a counter bore ratio of up to 2.3xD is possible. The tool is used for diameters from 6.5 to 20 mm without needing to turn over the workpiece. According to the company, it offers fast process cycles and a minimum of secondary time.
Since the machining is done from the same side as the bore is drilled, it is possible to apply spot faces or counter bores in areas that are difficult to access, such as bores between the forks of yokes or screw head counter sinks. It is designed for large volume production of diameters of up to 2.3xD. The BSF is specifically designed for CNC machining.
The blade unfolds by activating the spindle with an initial RPM and by the gravity of its own weight. An impulse of the internal coolant folds the blade back on demand. This means the tool requires a machine equipped with an internal coolant of approximately 20 bar working pressure. The tool and the specifically coated blade can work a variety of materials, such as aluminum, high grade steel or Inconel and titan. If the tool needs to be serviced due to wear, its components (blade, pin or split pin) can be easily replaced.
