The new ES-Bore series mounts to custom designed boring tools

Allied Machine and Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools for the metal-cutting industry, announces a new series of Wohlhaupter fine boring lay down cartridges-ES-Bore (Easy Set Bore), and inventory will be available October 16th. These lay down cartridges can easily be mounted onto the body of a custom tool while the dimensions allow the cartridge to fit on existing bodies and replace current lay down cartridges in addition to providing 3ETECH+ functionality.

When used with standard Wohlhaupter components, the lay down cartridges have a diameter range of 1.1 inches - 128 inches (28 millimeters - 3200 millimeters); however, a maximum boring range cannot be defined for custom boring tools as the range is unlimited and depends on the application. Currently, the cartridges are available for two different insert sizes-the ISO form 101 as well as Wohlhaupter's form 20 insert-and can be used in all common materials.

For customers looking to build their own custom tool, the ES-Bore is offered in an analog or digital version for use with the new 3ETECH+ digital readout module. The new 3ETECH+ digital module provides enhancements such as improved visibility with a larger OLED display screen, improved diameter adjustment accuracy of one micron and a rechargeable battery via USB-C.

The release of the new cartridges provides the possibility to design custom tools incorporating the ES-Bore lay down cartridges, allowing customers to receive special tools within a shorter delivery time and at a lower cost. Additionally, the release of the new fine boring cartridges gives customers the opportunity to build their own special tool because the customer only needs an ES-Bore lay down cartridge that can be mounted onto the boring bar being manufactured.

"Lay down cartridges and fine boring-do those go together? Yes and ES-Bore offers exactly that. Simple settings combined with Wohlhaupter's well-known precision for fine adjustment of our tools," shared Axel Wagner, business development manager at Wohlhaupter.
