Wohlhaupter India, an Allied Machine and Engineering company, is excited to showcase two new cutting tool innovations in India at the IMTEX tradeshow: the NOVITECH vibration dampening intermediate module system and the 4TEX indexable insert drilling system.

Bengaluru, India - Wohlhaupter India Pvt. Ltd. provides engineering, technical support, and onsite application services within India for Wohlhaupter GmbH and Allied Machine and Engineering Corp., leading manufacturers of hole making and finishing tooling systems. Allied Machine and Wohlhaupter GmbH devote their advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities to creating the widest selection of value-added tooling available to metal-cutting industries around the world. Allied Machine & Engineering's acquisition of Wohlhaupter GmbH in 2016 allows Wohlhaupter India to expand their product offering beyond precision boring solutions. This partnership empowers them to deliver the lowest cost-per-hole in a wide range of drilling, reaming, burnishing, and threading applications. As a result, Wohlhaupter India is excited to showcase two new cutting tool innovations at IMTEX: the NOVITECH vibration dampening intermediate module system and the 4TEX indexable insert drilling system.

Increase boring operations productivity, surface quality, and process reliability.

The NOVITECH vibration dampened intermediate module is the newest addition to the boring product line. The NOVITECH increases boring operations productivity, surface quality, and process reliability while extending the life of both the insert and the machine center's spindle. Mounted inside the patented NOVITECH system, the viscoelastically mounted damper modules reduce vibrations during the machining of diameters ranging from 50mm - 205mm (1.97" - 8.07"), with lengths up to 10xD. The NOVITECH intermediate modules feature Wohlhaupter's MultiBore system (MVS), making it simple to use with existing Wohlhaupter components while maintaining compatibility with any machine spindle.

Achieve higher penetration rates than standard twist drills for light duty machines.

Wohlhaupter India will also feature the new 4TEX indexable insert drill, ideal for making shallow 2xD, 3xD, and 4xD holes in the 12-47 mm (.472" - 1.850") range. Industries working with a variety of materials - especially aerospace, heavy equipment, automotive, and energy industry applications - will benefit from the excellent chip formation provided by this drill's unique geometries. It is also an excellent choice for making interrupted cuts or drilling on angled surfaces. The new design even enables certain operations to be performed without initial milling of the surface.

The 4TEX drill provides higher penetration rates than standard twist drills for light duty machines and is also an excellent choice for making interrupted cuts or drilling on angled surfaces. The drill's design provides increased core strength resulting in improved hole size and straightness. Dual twisted coolant outlets improve penetration rates by enhancing coolant flow and generating superior chip formation and evacuation.

4TEX inserts are four-sided to maximize the tool life of each insert. The distinctive insert shape improves surface finish, hole diameter, and hole straightness by providing a superiorly balanced cut compared to ISO inserts. Insert geometries for standard ISO material categories improve hole quality and penetration rate while eliminating issues from chips wrapping the tool. They are available in geometries developed for steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, non-ferrous, and iron, which are optimized for excellent chip formation and wear resistance in difficult applications. The drills are stocked in both imperial and metric shanks with standard fractional diameters, as well as every ½ mm diameter up to 26mm and every 1mm up to 47mm assuring fast delivery.
