MAPAL Competence – Actuating Tools and Facing Heads

MAPAL actuating tools
Function principle 5
Actuating with TOOLTRONIC®
Motor
- Generating the slide is achieved by
means of a servomotor in the tool.
TOOLTRONIC® actuating tools can
be used on machining centers or
special machines. Machining complex
contours is also possible on a
machining center.
Stator
Transmission
system
- Advantage:
TOOLTRONIC® provides an additional
axis for a machine.
Electronics
TOOLTRONIC® – The driving
force in precision machining
MAPAL TOOLTRONIC® has been developed
as a self-contained drive system. By
inductive and bi-directional data transmission,
TOOLTRONIC® provides a full,
additional NC-axis which is incorporated
into the machine control system. This
means that the functions of modern CNC
control systems, such as interpolation of
different axes and adjustment for wear
and blade radius, can also be fully utilised
when TOOLTRONIC® is incorporated.
The new, fully-developed electronic system
sets new standards in the inductively
transferred power of mechatronic tools.
Bi-directional data transmission also
allows any sensor data to be transferred
from TOOLTRONIC® to the machine control,
opening up new opportunities in
machining and control concepts.
The type of block tool to be used with
TOOLTRONIC® depends on the actual
machining task. In principle all selfgenerating
tools from MAPAL ISOTOOL,
which are activated by coolant pressure,
centrifugal force, contact stop or draw
bar, can be driven and controlled by
TOOLTRONIC® as an alternative.
However, possible applications are not
just limited to cutting with a geometrically
aligned blade. Combined with
TOOLTRONIC®, a honing tool with selfgenerating
honing pads to provide compensation
for wear and dimensional
adjustment becomes a block tool.
