ActiveEdge Boring Tool

March 15, 2016

Rigibore’s ActiveEdge is an automatically adjustable boring tool, allowing a close tolerance bore diameter to be maintained without the need for an operator’s intervention.

This innovative system allows micron-accurate adjustments to be made on up to five individually adjustable cutting edges on the boring tool.

Adjustments based on measurement values from a spindle probe or gauge can be made to the tool whilst it remains in the machine carousel, contributing to significantly reduced cycle time.
