Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC - BENZ Inc. has announced that it will present its LinTec family of broaching tools during Houstex 2015, February 24-26, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX. The company will demonstrate several new LinTec broaching tools, including the LinA Axial and Radial Broach, the LinA XL Radial Broach, the LinS Axial Broach, the LinA Haas Axial, and the LinA EMAG Axial at Booth #454 during the show.
Both the BENZ LinA and LinS broaching tools perform I.D. and O.D. broaching with the one tool. I.D. and O.D. keyways, splines, torx and hex shapes can all be machined with the same tool. Use of the LinA and LinS broaching tools also reduces cycle time and increases machine life by eliminating wear on guideways and abuse on spindle bearings.
The BENZ LinA broaching system changes the rotary motion of the live tool turret into a linear motion for broach and spline machining on turning centers. With the LinA in place, the programmer can position the Z-axis to the start position and program a constant X feed until the broach depth has been achieved, at 1000 rpm/1000 strokes per minute. It utilizes an integrated feature that lifts the tool .006" off the material on the return stroke for a better surface finish and tool life. A typical 3/8" x .187" x 1.250" keyway would take almost two minutes to cut on a lathe. The LinA can machine the same feature in steel in 6 - 8 seconds. BENZ offers the LinA radial and axial models, available in short, standard, long and XL stroke versions.
The BENZ LinA Broach for BMT and VDI applications is available in six different models
