Capto Adaptors Available for Counterboring, Precision Boring Tooling Systems



Walter BoringMEDIUM twin insert boring tool for machining diameters up to 15 mm with cartridges and Walter Capto connection.

Walter PrecisionMINI single-edged precision boring tool for machining diameters up to 45.5 mm with boring bar and Walter Capto connection.

Walter is offering its counterboring and precision boring tools with connections for Walter Capto adaptors. The connections are available in five coupling sizes, allowing them to be used on both small and large machines.

"The versatile and time-saving Capto interface is being increasingly used on lathes, machining centers and multitasking machines to allow these machines to perform multiple processes with only a single tooling interface," said a company spokesperson. "By offering connections to its Walter Capto adaptors, in addition to its NCT and ScrewFit connections, Walter is bringing the benefits of Capto technology to its line of counterboring and precision boring tools."

Walter boring tools comprise twin-insert models with medium and maxi versions for holes of 0.787" - 25.17" (20 - 640 mm). This stable and compact boring system has an internal coolant supply and is suitable for symmetrically or radially displaced roughing operations.

Walter precision boring tools include solid carbide and single insert tools with mini, medium and maxi versions for holes of 0.787" - 25.17" (2 - 640 mm). Depending on the hole diameter, either boring bar, cartridge or bridge constructions made of aluminum are used.

Walter PrecisionDIGITAL are single-edged precision boring tools for precise holes with a diameter of 0.118" to 4.882" (3 - 124 mm). According to the company, their optoelectronic encoder makes it possible to read micron-precise digital results. For holes with a diameter up to 0.39" (10 mm), solid carbide boring bars are available; for large diameters, bridges are available. The tool can be used up to a speed of 16,000 RPM.

"Users of the Capto variants of this system will have a range of additional advantages," said the spokesperson. "The interface is clamped using a conical polygon in accordance with ISO 26623, with a small cone angle. This creates a high clamping force and a good support face. The force is evenly distributed around the circumference of the polygon. The connection is completely backlash-free, is self-centering and does not need any special locking device. The Capto adaptor is also shorter and therefore more resistant to bending than other adaptors, and the tendency to vibrate is correspondingly lower. This is especially useful in precision boring with its requirement for higher quality."
