Dayton, Ohio – Carbide-Roll Burnishing Tools by Elliott Tool Technology, which produce a mirror-like surface finish while eliminating secondary operations, machining set-ups, and operator labor and cost, will be featured at IMTS. These cost-effective, easy-to-use carbide rolls from Monaghan Tooling Group improve surface irregularities and tool marks, producing optimum surface finishes of 4-20 microinch (0.1 to 0.5µm). They are ideal for both CNC turning centers and manual lathes, for OD and ID/OD burnishing applications. This proven technique can eliminate secondary processes such as grinding, honing and polishing by automating those processes in the primary CNC machine. Doing so saves set-up and processing time and labor costs and also enhances machinery utilization and shop floor productivity.
Carbide rolls can be reconditioned several times, yielding economical tool life. Shank sizes are available from 1.5” to 2.0” in diameter, or 40 mm to 50 mm, to process overall length of 9.5 “ (241.3 mm) to 18” (457.2 mm). Roll radius from 0.032” (0.787 mm) to 0.093” (2.36 mm) are available.
Spherical surface burnish tools, available in either 1” or 25 mm square shank size, with a .125” radius, are excellent for burnishing spherical and contoured surfaces to finishes as low as 2 to 8 Ra microinch. Other sizes and spherical designs available on request.
