Boring Tools

Boring with in-process gauging

Posted as a supplement to "The Zenith of Boring," a feature article appearing in the July 2022 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, this video demonstrates how Rigibore's Zenith system integrates ActiveEdge tools with in-process gauging to enable a machine controller to automatically compensate for insert wear, temperature changes and material inconsistency without manual intervention and without manufacturing interruptions.

Automate your boring cycle to increase production

Rigibore’s “ActiveEdge” adjusts automatically from your measurement data, ensuring perfect bores with zero downtime. ActiveEdge tools are micron accurate in diameter (0.078 thou) so even the tightest of tolerances can be met effortlessly. Save money by increasing production and eliminating scrap, with ActiveEdge technology.

Stator Bore Tool

3D Printed Stator Bore Tool Weighs Just 7kg
Machining three diameters in one operation, the stator bore tool ensures the alignment and concentricity of the machined surfaces whilst reducing the cycle time significantly. The lightweight 3D printed combination tool enables a faster tool change and spin-up even on less powerful machines. The surface specifications and component tolerances are achieved without constraints.
