Back Spot Facing Tools
August 1, 2024
HEULE Precision Tools will feature its BSF tooling for automated high-volume back spot facing applications in IMTS booth 431364. It is suited for counterbores up to 2.3 x diameter and ranging in size from 6.5 mm to 20.5 mm (0.256" to 0.807").
BSF tooling is available with three activation methods to suit any machining environment, including: CNC machines with through-spindle coolant with at least 300 PSI; CNC machines with through-spindle air with at least 60 PSI; and a new manual version with easy collar locking/unlocking mechanism.
BSF tooling is designed for CNC machining and functions without an anti-rotation device, change of spindle direction or contact mechanism, allowing components to be spot faced in the same direction as the bore is drilled. This saves the time and cost of turning the workpiece, while allowing the spot-facing of difficult-to-reach areas like casting flanges and bolt head faces. The simple swing mechanism combined with one of the three activation methods yields optimal cutting performance, resulting in consistent spot facing and fewer scrapped parts, the company reported.
The blade expands using centrifugal force when activating the spindle, and retracts from coolant pressure, air pressure or manually, which moves a piston to depress a pin that retracts the closed blade into the blade housing. The tool works both vertically and horizontally, with replaceable carbide-coated blades for extended tool life. Designed for optimal cutting performance, chip removal and reliability, the BSF coolant-through tool and blade feature special coolant pipes and chip-guiding geometries that continuously flush the blade window and the blade itself with coolant. This keeps the work area clean and allows for optimal chip removal. All tool components and blades are easy to replace.
BSF tooling is stocked in the Cincinnati area warehouse for immediate shipment. They are suited for gear housings, yokes, engine casings and other parts in a wide range of materials.
