Perfect profiles - Producing inner and outer profiles in seconds
GARANT profile spaces on the lathe
GARANT profile broaching on the lathe
Profile broaching (also: tumbling) is a machining process. In profile broaching, a profile broaching insert is used to produce the desired profile (hexagonal, square or special profiles) in one operation by means of a concentric movement.
Always the right system for economical production of internal and external profiles:
With a complete range for broaching profiles on lathes and machining centres, GARANT offers highly productive, dimensionally accurate and process-reliable tools for complete machining.
Since our GARANT broaching process can be used on both lathes and machining centres, all changeover costs are eliminated. Furthermore, additional (cost-intensive) manufacturing processes such as wire-cut EDM (electrical discharge machining) can be dispensed with.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Rapid production of profiles in one work step
- Reduction of set-up costs
- No need to change machines
- No outsourcing needed
Procedure for broaching internal and external profiles
Internal profiles
Preparation of the bore
- To protect the cutting edge and reduce the machining time, select a preliminary bore diameter as large as possible.
- As a guide value for the bore depth t, the following applies for a blind hole: t = desired profile depth × factor 1.5.
- Countersinking the bore makes it easier to centre the broaching tool.
- At larger bore diameters the bore contour remains visible on the faces. This does not impose any technical or qualitative restriction on the functionality of the profile.
External profiles
Preparation of the workpiece
- To protect the cutting edge and reduce the machining time, pre-turn the workpiece to the smallest possible diameter.
- The workpiece diameter must be smaller than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the hexagonal profile.
- As a guide value for the pre-turned length t, the following applies: t = desired profile length × factor 1.2 bis 1.4.
- A back chamfer or an undercut will allow chips to break cleanly.
- A chamfer on the workpiece facilitates the centring of the cutting insert.
Profile broaching (tumbling) procedure
Create hexagon, square and special profiles in seconds:
- The concentric movement (tumbling) quickly and safely creates the desired profile in just one working step.
- When machining on a CNC lathe, start at a low speed (n ≈ 100 1/min – 200 1/min) and high feed rate (f ≈ 0.1 mm/rev – 0.3 mm/rev).
- After a machining depth of approx. 0.5 mm, set the feed rate and the speed (also see table on page 806 of the brochure).
- Retract at a higher feed rate.
Tip
When machining larger components (such as square 50 mm or hexagon 70 mm), for large width across flats and high-tensile material we recommend the GARANT profile slotting system.
GARANT broaching internal profiles
Profile broaching is mainly used for profiles in components with smaller diameters (from diameter 1.5 mm). The application is limited to the machining of easily machinable materials. The biggest advantage of profile broaching is the time-saving generation of profiles in just one working step.
Hexagon, square and Torx® profiles – created in seconds.
- Eccentric design: Suitable for CNC lathes and milling machines and for conventional machines.
- Wide variety of shank connections: Plain, morse taper and VDI shanks. Further connections on request.
- Flat face of the broaching tool holder: Increases the stability and process reliability.
- Hardened and ground: Precision for bearing seats and tumbling headstocks.
- All slotting tools TiN coated as standard.
- Collar on the slotting tool for additional stability.
- Drive flat on the slotting tool for clamping with high process reliability.
GARANT broaching external profiles
Now get the most out of your lathe or machining centre and produce external profiles in a single pass, with good process reliability.
The benefit to you
- Simple & fast: External profiles are produced in seconds.
- Effective: Maximise your production capacities. No need to switch to another machine, no sub-contracting required.
- Flexible: Special profiles can be produced on request, even at short notice.
With the appropriate toolholders, there is nothing to stop you:
- Toolholders for medium to large batch sizes
- Materials < 900 N
- Medium to large width across flats
GARANT toolholders for profile broaching with adapters
If you only have an irregular need for external profiles, you can also manufacture these using our adapter solution for internal profile broaching toolholders.
Adapters are your solution for
- only occasional need
- medium batch sizes
- materials y 750 N
- small to medium width across flats
