Walter GB has announced the arrival of the new AB735 synchronous threading adaptor. The adaptor has been designed to minimise the axial forces that occur during tapping and threading that are caused by the rotation of the machine spindle and its feed travel. This system reduces tool wear and thread flank wear while reducing the chance of tool breakages.
In addition to extending tool life, the lean, short design of the adaptor also makes it ideal for use in tight spaces such as mill/turn centres.
More cost-effective than comparable systems, the AB735 features quick-change exchangeable front pieces to enable different thread sizes and tool diameters (ER16 to ER32) to be used with the same collet – and tools with and without internal coolant supply. This contributes to overall tool cost savings.
