QT Tool

 Quarter Turn Adjustment Tool

Automatic diameter adjustment on general-purpose machines

Tools designed for high-precision machining and precise diameter compensation

“Amazing Ideas / Facts!”

The QT tool utilizes the functions of a general purpose machining center to achieve automatic compensation.
A unique mechanism that enables high-precision fine-tuning in ø2.5µm increments, therefore, ‘High productivity’, ‘high-precision machining’ and ‘reduced capital investment’.

POINT! Automatic correction simply by introducing QT tools and simple fixtures on general-purpose machines

High-precision correction and excellent tracking

Reduction of equipment installation costs

Background / Point for Development

Background

  • In the case of machining difficult-to-machine materials and long cutting distances, the cutting-edge wear progresses quickly, leading to more frequent dimensional adjustments of the cutting edge and insert replacement, which affects the operation of the production line.
  • As a solution, automatic compensation of machining diameters using dedicated equipment is used, but this requires significant capital investment.


Point for Development

  • QT tools utilize the functions of machining centres to achieve automatic compensation of diameters, enabling machining on general-purpose machines.
  • This eliminates the need for special compensation equipment and facilities, reduces investment and improves the utilisation rate of the production line.
