Vibration-Damping Adaptor

Walter offers the Accuretec AC001 vibration damping adaptor designed especially for shell mill mount milling cutters. "It delivers increased productivity and stability along with greater surface quality, improved tool and spindle life and is suited for deep pocket milling in operations at depths of up to 4 x D," said a company spokesperson.

The vibration damping for this patented system is provided by the axially and radially flexible positioned damper element that is preset at the factory so tools can be used immediately. These Accuretec adaptors are suited for the Walter XtraTec XT milling cutter range. This makes the system versatile and suited for components with deep cavities in the aircraft construction and aerospace industries in general, as well as the automotive, energy, die/mold and general metalworking industries. The series offers vibration damping and low noise levels.

"Accuretec advantages include longer tool life, higher productivity and greater process reliability at depths of cut up to three times that obtained with conventional methods," said the spokesperson. "Internal coolant further optimizes chip removal. Walter offers Accuretec with all popular machine interfaces: Walter Capto, HSK/HSK-T, ISO, MAS-BT, CAT and parallel shank."

Walter has added new sizes to its existing Accuretec A3000 boring bar line that incorporates the same technology as the AC001 vibration-free long milling tool adaptor. The A3000 is now available in 1" and 25 mm diameters in steel, as well as 1" and 1.25" diameters in carbide at 10 x Dc. The product extension also includes Capto C4, C5 connections in 25 mm diameter along with HSK-T63 connections in 25 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm diameters.
