Rainford Precision will be bringing new ideas and solutions in cutting tool technology to the Advanced Engineering show on the 2nd and 3rd November 2016. While specifically focusing on aerospace and composite materials, Rainford Precision will also offer live demonstrations of how to get the best out of your small cutting tool machining operations on Stand L1 at the NEC, Birmingham.
For machining centre operations Rainford Precision can now offer the renowned Air Turbine Spindles® with spindle speeds varying from 25,000 to 90,000rpm and a variety of different shanks available including cylindrical, BT, CAT and HSK. Being air driven, the spindles can easily be integrated into an automatic tool change system allowing the customer a wide scope of when and how the spindles are used. Importantly the air driven spindle offers constant power and no drop off in spindle speed experienced by other high speed spindles.
Complementing the machining centre spindles are hand held units for de-burring and polishing as well as spindles for automation systems (robotics) and lathes. Visitors will be able to check the noise volume level, which are always a popular question as well as the impressive lack of vibration in the hand held units.
Rainford Precision will be demonstrating tooling diameter uniqueness compared to their competition with a range of diamond tools from 0.5mm diameter for drills and endmills. These tools have been used by a number of composite watch manufacturers for some years.
Similarly, Rainford are introducing material specific EXPERT tooling brochures for titanium, stainless steel and aluminium from the Swiss supplier Louis Belet. The cutting tools offered in the brochures have had their geometries refined over the years by Louis Belet’s experience in supplying the high volume precision industries in Switzerland. Within each brochure are endmills, drills, slitting saws, threading and engraving tools with diameter sizes starting at 0.3mm. With Rainford Precision’s specialised knowledge in using small cutting tools and drilling holes a visit to Stand L1 with give the visitor new and interesting information and help develop thoughts for different machining strategies.
