If it's the toolholder that holds 4 km 25 heads, I have several of those on my machine. I treat each toolholder pocvket or corner as a separate tool, depending on it's use and define them as required. Origianlly I used the pocket number as the nominal like any lathe tool, then a suffix to allocate the orientation. that turns out to be a PITA when you swap the tool into a different pocket. So now these tools are all in the 700 nominal series. for example one tool has a pair of CNMG inserts on it, and a pair of DNMG inserts as well. I nuse on of each to rough and the other to finish. my tool definations look like
700A - General Out (CNMG used to rough turn the OD and face) Index angle of 0
700B - General Out (CNMG used to finish turn the OD and face) Index angle of 90
700C - General Out (DNMG used to rough turn the profile with an undercut OD and face) Index angle of 180
700D - General Out (DNMG used to finish turn turn the profile with an undercut OD and face) Index angle of 270
700E - General Out (CNMG used to rough turn the OD and face on HD 2) Index angle of 0
700F - General Out (CNMG used to finish turn the OD and face on HD 2) Index angle of 90
700G - General Out (DNMG used to rough turn the profile with an undercut OD and face on HD 2) Index angle of 180
700H - General Out (DNMG used to finish turn turn the profile with an undercut OD and face on HD 2) Index angle of 270
Inceidentally the KM 32 centerline tools will fit on these holders, so you can mount boring tols on this holder as well. Yoiu ahve to swing the B axis 5 degrees and shift Y to use them, but you can drill, bore, tun a circlip groove, and thread all without changing tools. It's a pretty cool tool and saves a ton of time in tool changes. The first tool I bought saved me over 10 hours on a run of parts. It easily justifed it's cost.
Mazak's flash tools are super neat, but they are VERY expensive for what they are. |
