The 'effect' Mapal attends the EMO

Mapal, company marketed in Spain by Ayma, presented at the EMO exhibition their latest developments in high performance, an essential part of the 'effect' Mapal tools: longevity, optimisation of results, easy to use and improvements in manufacturing, among others.

So far, only thermal ties had been used as a fastening tool milling. Mapal has finished with this restriction by means of new high-performance clamping.
The new mooring Mapal HTC has been developed on the basis of hydraulic technology and transforming it for use in milling.
The new manufacturing method allows high torque transmission, excellent anti vibration, optimum stiffness properties of the entire system and high precision with an eccentricity below 3 µm. The resistance to deformation is 1.4 times greater than the thermal clamping. These advantages guarantee excellent surface quality of the component, faster cutting, prevents the edge of the tool breaks and increases the shelf life. Depending on the design, the combination of the axial length using a screw adjustment is possible. In addition the clamping of tools with the new HTC is easy and does not need any additional equipment.

When machining carbon (CFRP) fibre-reinforced plastics particular attention both to prevent delamination and the formation of dross in the hole, and achieve reliably all tolerances in relation to diameter, geometry and surface finish. Within the Mega-Drill-Composite family, the Mega-Drill-Composite-UDX bit is the bit of high performance suitable for the most demanding machining. On the other hand, the UD versions and MD are designed for machining CFRP composites with fibers of unidirectional and multidirectional. The Mega-Drill-Composite - UDX bit is suitable for all types of CFRP materials; It is also an alternative for solving problems. Its innovative geometry combines a special blade with a broad cross section of guidance. For this reason, it is ideal for situations of fixing unstable or machining of thin-walled can adversely affect drilling operations. The coating is diamond. The Mega-Drill-Composite-UDX bit works silently and produces quality H8 holes.

With the new set of facing LAT-balance, Mapal complete the range of products in the field of meca-tronicas actuated tools. Combined with Tooltronic, the gap between linear actuated tools (LAT), with great strides and low speeds, and the eccentric actuated tools (EAT) with high speeds and low feed is completed. With an outside diameter of 125 mm, and a radial displacement of +/-12 mm, a diameter of 48 mm. adjustment is achieved The new set of facing LAT balance combined with the Tooltronic system can perform new tasks of machining. Advance combined with low moments of inertia, special technology allows rapid scrolling compared to other actuated tools. In addition, as an option, in the dish facing LAT allowing accuracies within few μm, an integrated measuring system can be mounted. As a result, further improvements in machining can be achieved.

The wide and positive experience of Mapal, both custom made Strawberry field in strawberries plates ISO, leads to an extensive standard programme of strawberries tangential to all applications. The excellent properties of the tangential technology are beneficial for all applications of milling. Reducing shearing forces, due to the positive edge geometry, forces in advance of the machine are reduced, and as a result, energy efficiency is increased. In addition, soft cutting behavior results in an increase of the useful life. Also achieved that strawberries with more plates, can be built while maintaining, or even increasing, the stability of the tool body, in comparison with conventional ISO interchangeable plates strawberries.

Strawberries are designed with high precision plate seats. The program includes strawberries squaring, plan and disc cutters, as well as coil, particularly innovative, strawberries for the edging and roughing of large diameter holes. The basic characteristics of tangential boards are perfectly suited to cutting geometries and high performance coatings.

The plates are available in two versions, with two or four cutting edges. Designs with two cutting edges are predominantly used with PCD, PCBN or ceramics as a material for cutting.
