Using the original Multi-Lock nose ring and construction as a reliable base, though with redesigned and larger nose ring construction, the X-TREME solution was evolved, tested and progressed. By incorporating twin retaining bolts and a location stopper behind the main bore the process was proven with end mill remaining firmly gripped and the entire fan hub being machined reliably - repeatably.
X-TREME, depending on tool shank, is available in 6 standard sizes:
-
C12EX - 12mm direct chucking of X-TREME proprietory shank.
-
C16EX - 16mm direct chucking of X-TREME proprietory shank.
-
C20EX - 20mm direct chucking of X-TREME proprietory shank.
-
C25EX - 25mm direct chucking of X-TREME proprietory shank.
-
C32EX - 32mm direct chucking of X-TREME proprietory shank.
-
C42EX - 42mm direct chucking of X-TREME proprietory shank.
For the customer the ultimate benefit by introducing X-TREME, as well as process confidence, was a drastic reduction in both cycle time and tooling costs (over 50%)! X-TREME is now used in the manufacture of all sizes of such components and for many more similar parts and processes based on the demands of difficult to machine and exotic materials.
Many other users and indeed cutting tool manufacturers are now developing and improving their own processes, cycles and capabilties by adopting the NIKKEN X-TREME solution.
