Use of roller burnishing tools

MACHINE REQUIREMENTS

Roller burnishing tools are suitable on all common machine tools as…

  • Lathes, both conventional and CNC
  • Machining centers
  • Transfer lines
  • Revolving transfer machines
  • Drilling machines
  • Milling machines etc…


Processing in one setup after machining is a valued productivity factor.

COOLING/LUBRICATION

In general, a minimal lubrication with a thin liquid oil is sufficient for roller burnishing, e.g. by spraying the workpiece before machining or by minimum quantity lubrication.
At high roller burnishing speeds or high rolling pressures, it is advisable to use continuous cooling/lubrication with an emulsion or oil. The coolant/lubrication fluid is also used for removing dirt from the surface and should therefore be sufficiently well filtered in order to obtain an optimum surface quality and to minimize tool wear. When using diamond burnishing tools, proper cooling is absolutely necessary. We recommend a grade of < 40 μm for the filtration.

TOOL HOLDERS, CLAMPING POSSIBILITIES

The standard version of the tool holders is equipped as follows:

  • Cylindrical according to DIN 1835
  • Morse taper according to DIN 228
  • Square shank


All common clamping systems are available, e.g.:
VDI - DIN 69880 / SK - DIN 69871, DIN 2080 / HSK - DIN 69893 / PSK - ISO 26623-1. Also producer specific systems are available: MVS®, KM®, ABS®.
