Floyd To Bring New Technology To MACH

21 January 2022

As the outright experts in sliding head-turning technology, Floyd Automatic Tooling will have sliding head machines on its stand at MACH 2022 from the world’s leading manufacturers. On Stand 472 in Hall 20, the sliding head machines will be completely tooled-up with the latest innovations from the Baldock cutting tool specialists, demonstrating the extensive portfolio available from Floyd Automatic.

Floyd Automatic will be keen to showcase the ever-expanding range of innovations that now include the Swiss cutting tool brand Denitool and also the German JBO brand. Both JBO and Denitool will be making a MACH exhibition premiere and the addition of JBO to the Floyd stable will give the tooling specialist one of the most impressive ranges of thread milling cutters, shell type thread milling tools, threading dies, combination tools, precision thread gauges and more.

Additionally, with Floyd Automatic recently announced as the new UK sales and distribution partner of Denitool, the Hertfordshire cutting tool experts have also incorporated a high-performance range of fine boring tools into its portfolio.

The Denitool range of precision boring tools is a high-quality line of solid carbide boring bars with a multitude of indexable insert geometries and grades to improve the performance of small part turning operations. This new range of turning and boring tools will strengthen the offering whilst providing turned parts manufacturers with a new range of tools that complement the already extensive and high-quality product lines available.

Also on show at MACH will be the new Hydro-Swiss Turn range of compact hydraulic clamping tool holders for cylindrical tools. Capable of maintaining precision and run-out levels of less than 1 micron, ‘ultra-precise’ is now possible for your sliding head CNC turning centres. Regardless of the turning centre, the new Hydro-Swiss Turn holders are compatible with all leading sliding head machine brands. The Hydro-Swiss Turn holders are available as a standard or as an ultra-precise (UP) variant that can achieve a run-out of 0.003 and 0.001TIR respectively.

Another MACH debutant on Stand 472 in Hall 20 will be the new Precitronics TOHP Series of driven tooling with integrated high-pressure coolant feed. The exciting TOHP system offers high-pressure through coolant delivery up to 135 bar for driven tools and applications on sliding head turning centres. The new system can drastically reduce cycle times, eliminate swarf issues, improve productivity and enhance surface finishes.

With the recent pandemic forcing more businesses to look at their costs, Floyd Automatic will also showcase the new cost-effective MicroTurn eLine of boring tools from Ifanger. The new MicroTurn eLine MTEE is an optimised universal boring tool that is less expensive than Ifanger’s existing MTEC or MTEN tools and significantly more cost-effective than solutions from alternate vendors.
