Embossing machine tools - Import export

LT Ultra has also implemented the technology of metal-cutting microstructuring in roller lathes. We can offer the production of structures in a grid between 5 and 150 µm in optical quality for provided rollers.Offer up to a length of 2500 mm, a diameter of up to 800 mm and a maximum weight of 2500 kg.

With the chip-removing microstructuring of metal surfaces, LT Ultra offers the right manufacturing technology for the production of embossing tools with optical surface qualities that allow economical replication in large numbers. Examples of microstructuring are the production of microfluidics or microlenses on our ultra-precise multi-axis machines. We can manufacture the structures directly in various materials such as brass, chemically deposited nickel or in selected hardened steels.For the replicating production of optical components, ultra-precise mold inserts made of steel are of particular interest due to their very long service life compared to other materials. In order to avoid the final polishing, which often leads to an undesirable change in shape or which is impossible due to a high structure density, LT Ultra offers ultrasound-assisted machining of steels with geometrically defined cutting edges made of monocrystalline diamond.

Embossing punching is an important technique in the automated production of car parts, guided by robots. A laser system with a sensor harness measures the car body and its machining plane so that the embossing depth can be determined with maximum accuracy. The car body part is then embossed accordingly and all necessary holes are punched. Embossing punching is used for the fixture of headlights, bonnets, sliding roofs, boot lids and locks as well as wings. Our embossing punching machines are suitable for single-layer steel and aluminium sheet metal. This offer includes: • Embossing punching frame (assembly elements or components can be perfectly aligned to a mating part of different dimensions) • Handling: robot-guided via defined interfaces (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic) • Servo motor-driven Tool inserts and measurement are not included in the scope of delivery. They must be chosen separately, based on the actual task. Contact us for a customised offer!

EWS goes milling With its latest range of angular heads, EWS brings its trusted technology with new features to machining centres. The system range was presented to the public for the first time at EMO 2015. An elegant design houses high-performance technology, or to put it simply Precision meets Motion. Advantages: the smart solution for compensating for there not being a machining axis Machining hard-to-reach parts Centre boring stepless angle adjustment around the horizontal axis, with tangentially acting double cone clamp MR > 250 Nm Prerequisite: The prerequisite is a "stop block" on the machine. This prevents the entire unit from turning while simultaneously defining the position of the angel of rotation. Variations: basic duplex offset Request form: PDF

High-speed thread cutting with reversing kinematics The new EWS Tapmatic thread cutting head for driven tools enables thread cutting processes without having to reverse the direction of rotation thanks to its reversing kinematics. This saves time and energy and protects the motor – all this with a defined depth of thread. The units are available for M3-M12 threads.

Emulsion can do more than just cool... At least when using EWS Spinjet, the coolant is used to drive a turbine which allows the tool to rotate to up to 50,000 rpm, depending on the type. The turret's tool drive stops moving during this process! See the attached flyer for the technical requirements and details. Download Manual: PDF

Mount tools safely and in the correct position while remaining flexible, all this is possible with the UMB100 mounting unit. The tool clamping units can be changed quickly, making the system an ideal mounting aid for multi-tasking machines. It only takes a few seconds to replace an adapter. The unit with snap-in swivel can be pivoted 4 x 90° at the touch of a button so that even angled holders can always be mounted in the ideal position.

Keyway broaching on lathes is a common thing. What is new is to speed up this operation with low stress for the machine! Slot is driven by the tool turret of the machine, with the input rotary motion being converted to a translation with superimposed lift-off function. This makes programming extremely easy. The keyway broaching unit is positioned in the prepared bore – in such a way as to make the extended tappet oriented to the end position in the Z axis. The depth of the slot is produced by a constant X-feed moving between 0.04-0.08 mm/stroke. The speed of the spindle ranges between 400 R/min – 1,000 R/min, with one rotation corresponding to a complete stroke. This way, for instance, a feather key groove with a width of 6 mm and a depth of 5 mm is produced within 7.5 sec. (800 R/min and 0.05 mm feed/rotation). With this operation it is important that the chip can break at the end of the groove, that is that a cut-in or a bore exists.

Reaching concentricity 0 using a simple collet chuck and this within one minute: this is Zero-Zero. The specifically designed clamping nut with 6 symmetrically arranged screws at the circumference makes this step possible. The clamping nut is split, so that the inner ring can be minimally shifted. This simple technical finesse allows to eliminate tolerance additions. The machine operator only has to replace the previous clamping nut, which step opens up a new concentricity dimension – and this for a price starting at € 90.00. Zero-Zero is available for DIN 6499 collet chuck holders from ER 16-ER40.

The new EWS tcJet range Optimal chip transport thanks to EWS tcJet EWS tcJet transports the coolant through the inset directly to the cutter and guarantees optimal chip transport... At the same time, the cutting edges have a significantly longer service life. EWS's interior cooling version is available for normal and high-pressure applications for various tool holder fixtures and cutting insert manufacturers.

Compact and stable – this is EWS' new swivel head. The swivelling module, which is equipped with a Cylkro drive system, is 17 mm smaller than standard heads which, above all, offers greater flexibility in swivel ranges between 0° and 45° in the field of cutting tools. The swivel unit covers an angle of +/- 92°. During the swivelling process, the supply of coolant is directly carried along. A distance of at least 48 mm from the contact surface to the swivel axis can be proposed. Even a high-pressure interior cooling system of up to 70 bar can be built into the module without the exterior dimensions having to be modified. Rotational speed limit is 6,000 1/min, maximum transmittable torque is 16 Nm, and max. cutting tool diameter is restricted to 10 mm. The swivel head is mainly suitable for drilling or for simple machining tasks. EWS' TWK range is available. for greater demands with regard to torque and performance.

EWS quality now available for Swiss-type lathes. This new development in driven tools is EWS's response to many customers' requests. The tool systems may appear straightforward at first sight, but their simplicity belies their performance. The design concentrates on the mounting and the spindle concentricity. The requirement profile was developed jointly with an American medical technology company which uses very small drill bits and requires extreme concentricity properties. The spindle bearing technology used with labyrinth seals sets new standards in this field, and is associated with a long service life. Provision has already been made for service. The service centres in Germany, China, Korea and the USA have already been trained in the system and are ready to respond without delay. Third-party brands can also be serviced there at any time.

EWS takes measures against vibrations in deep drilling procedures Deep drilling procedures with drilling rods with a long overhang are one of the most demanding tasks in cutting technologies. What influences vibration, what amplitudes does it create, what is the effect of superimposed vibration and when are uncontrollable resonances encountered? All these are questions that are difficult to answer using theory alone. These findings formed the basis for the new development of EWS Rigid. The objective was to create a drilling holder with a passive damping system to counteract the vibrations that are created. This involves using variable vibration dampers with linear degrees of freedom in a floating mounting inside the cutter carrier. The damper position is set using a radially mounted setscrew, which allows optimum vibration conditions to be created. The improvement in surface qualities of bores is significant, as is the increase in the service life of cutter tools.
