带导条的刀具
凭借 MAPAL 原理获得极高的精度
导条式刀具具有极高的精度和加工能力，完全依赖于导条在孔中的直接导向和精密磨削的可转位刀片的高质量。正是在孔的精加工中，对刀片材料、涂层、刀片几何形状和磨削质量都有极高的要求。通过高精度的调整系统，能够在第一个零件加工时就获得 μm 级精度的孔。通过EasyAdjust 系统明显减少了调整工作量，因为刀具仅需在直径上进行调整即可。
单刃铰刀
MAPAL 单刃铰刀采用久经考验的 MAPAL 原理制造。材料的切削和铰刀在孔中的导向由精密磨削的可转位刀片和在几何有利位置的导条来完成。带两个切削刃的可转位刀片系统以专门的切削引导部和直径的精确可调性以及背锥为标志。HX (六角形）刀片系统通过一个六边形的可转位刀片提供有六个有效切削刃。通过相应匹配的调整和夹紧系统，在这两个系统中，保证了刀片最佳地、无间隙地安装在刀片座中。
双刃铰刀
与单刃导条式铰刀相比，采用双刃铰刀能够以更大的切削速度和进给参数进行切削。刀片在径向和轴向按台阶分布和调整。通过分成预加工刀片和仅有几百分之一毫米切屑厚度的终加工刀片，即使在难于加工的材料时，也能达到极好的表面质量和很高的刀具使用寿命。从这个原理出发，MAPAL 也提供有多刃可调的导条式刀具，例如，按照 4+2 原理制造的刀具，亦即，带用于更大进给的四个预加工刀片和两个终加工刀片。
Reamers with EasyAdjust-System
The goal of the development of the EasyAdjust-System was a drastic reduction in the setting effort for tools with guide pad technology.
The heart of the system is an innovative cassette that stably holds the indexable inserts with their six or four cutting edges without any play. The back taper on the minor cutting edge is already integrated into this cassette, thus eliminating this setting effort.
Due to the exact guidance in the cassette on a precision guide pin, the back taper remains unchanged even during diameter setting.
Indexable inserts
Along with the selection and design of the tool construction, the correct cutting material is of great importance for the quality and cost-effectiveness of machining.
Carbide, cermet, coatings, PCD and PcBN, the entire range of modern cutting materials is available from MAPAL for every workpiece material and for every machining task.
The latest manufacturing technology employed in the production of the indexable inserts today enables any chip former and chip breaker shape to be achieved – even on extremely hard cutting materials such as PcBN and PCD.
External and taper reamers
External reaming tools allow outside diameters and shafts to be machined efficiently and to the μm.
The principle of MAPAL external reaming is based on optimally absorbing and dispersing the cutting forces using guide pads so that no displacement forces and bending moments are exerted on the workpiece.
Taper fits in machine engineering place very high demands on surface finish, lead accuracy and circularity deviations to ensure the crucial contact ratio of the fit.
The MAPAL principle is also applied to taper reamers to machine reliably to the tightest tolerances.
Custom solutions
The primary application for guide pad-tools is mostly in large-scale series production. In addition to its standard programme, MAPAL also offers custom tools specially matched to the customer's application.
By means of special geometries, cutting materials and coatings, the tool can be designed for optimal machining results and high cost-effectiveness.
Tool combinations with other tool technologies enable customers to undertake complex tasks cost-effectively with only one tool.
