Sometimes, boring a precise feature can be anything but. Cooling jackets, oil galleries, and thin-wall component designs present numerous challenges. The need to make some bored features in profiles other than right-cylindrical is becoming common, as the effects of workholding and unusual operating loads become better understood. All of these factors create the need for a smarter way to control feature form.

Samsomatic’s Ultra High-Speed Form Boring Tool Positioner can actually change the position of the cutting insert midway through each revolution.

Using fast-acting, all-hydraulic actuation, a membrane actuation cavity, and sophisticated control technology, this revolutionary tool positioner can eliminate the guesswork traditionally associated with complex boring and turning applications. And all this with no moving parts.

Just think of the ways this amazing tool positioner can help you. You can compensate for the varying stiffness of your workpiece as cutting insert traverses the bore. Create holes of non-constant radii in order to facilitate optimum fit between parts. Control ovality, taper, cylindricity, and runout without endless iterations of trial and error.

The benefits don’t end there. Samsomatic’s relentless drive for innovation gives you through-the-head coolant delivery…either liquid or chilled air…so you get optimum cooling, right where you need it, plus the added benefit of more complete chip removal. Compatibility with popular quick-change tool holding systems…standard. And 10,000-RPM capability…among the highest rotational speeds available in any tool positioner system. It’s flexible, too…the Samsomatic Form Boring Tool Positioner can easily be adapted to fit your preferred tool choices.
