DG modular interchangeable head milling system
With well over 1,000 customised solutions and numerous standard variants, HORN is demonstrating an economical and resource-saving tool solution with the DG modular interchangeable head milling system. With the new tool generation, Horn has optimised the interface between the cutting head and shank for greater versatility, stability and higher changeover precision. This is made possible by the new, solid carbide monoblock design of the replaceable head. It means that the interface and the desired cutting edge shape are precision ground from a carbide blank. The system achieves high precision through a guide pin, a precision trapezoidal thread and a taper/flat contact. The changeover accuracy is in the µ range. This reduces the set-up time and cuts production costs. The modular design allows quick changeover to a different cutting insert and the use of customised special solutions.
Horn stocks the milling system as standard in diameters of 10 mm (0.394“), 12 mm (0.472“), 16 mm (0.630“), 20 mm (0.787“) and 25 mm (0.984“). In addition, numerous cutting edge shapes for the most common machining tasks are available from stock. The user can choose an interchangeable head with a cutting edge length of either 0.5 x diameter or 1 x diameter. The cutter shanks are available in solid carbide and steel versions. All types have an internal coolant supply. For economical and productive machining of material groups P and K, Horn offers the new grade RC4P.
