the <strong>Houstex</strong> <strong>2015</strong> tradeshow. Fe<strong>at</strong>ured tools include the LinA Axial and Radial Broach, the LinA XL Radial<br />

CharlotteGastoniaRock Hill, NCSC <strong>BENZ</strong> <strong>Inc</strong>. has announced th<strong>at</strong> it will present its LinTec family of<br />
broaching tools during <strong>Houstex</strong> <strong>2015</strong>, February 2426, <strong>at</strong> the George R. Brown Convention Center in<br />
Houston, TX. The company will demonstr<strong>at</strong>e several new LinTec broaching tools, including the LinA Axial<br />
and Radial Broach, the LinA XL Radial Broach, the LinS Axial Broach, the LinA Haas Axial, and the LinA<br />
EMAG Axial <strong>at</strong> Booth #454 during the show.<br />
Both the <strong>BENZ</strong> LinA and LinS broaching tools perform I.D. and O.D. broaching with the one tool. I.D. and<br />
O.D. keyways, splines, torx and hex shapes can all be machined with the same tool. Use of the LinA and LinS<br />
broaching tools also reduces cycle time and increases machine life by elimin<strong>at</strong>ing wear on guideways and<br />
abuse on spindle bearings.<br />
The <strong>BENZ</strong> LinA broaching system changes the rotary motion of the live tool turret into a linear motion for<br />
broach and spline machining on turning centers. With the LinA in place, the programmer can position the Z<br />
axis to the start position and program a constant X feed until the broach depth has been achieved, <strong>at</strong> 1000<br />
rpm/1000 strokes per minute. It utilizes an integr<strong>at</strong>ed fe<strong>at</strong>ure th<strong>at</strong> lifts the tool .006" off the m<strong>at</strong>erial on the<br />
return stroke for a better surface finish and tool life. A typical 3/8" x .187" x 1.250" keyway would take<br />
almost two minutes to cut on a l<strong>at</strong>he. The LinA can machine the same fe<strong>at</strong>ure in steel in 6 8 seconds. <strong>BENZ</strong><br />
offers the LinA radial and axial models, available in short, standard, long and XL stroke versions.<br />
The <strong>BENZ</strong> LinA Broach for BMT and VDI applic<strong>at</strong>ions is available in six different models engineered for<br />
specific applic<strong>at</strong>ions. The LinA Radial FSS has a short .669" stroke, higher oper<strong>at</strong>ing speed, gre<strong>at</strong>er stability,<br />
improved surface quality and can broach a .375" x .187" x .699" keyway in 5 to 7 seconds. The LinA FS<br />
Radial has a 1.259" stroke and can broach a .375" x .187" x 1.259" keyway in 6 to 8 seconds. The LinA FSL<br />
Radial has a 2.007" stroke and can broach a .375" x .187" x 2.007" keyway in 7 to 9 seconds. The LinA XL is<br />
designed for large turning applic<strong>at</strong>ions and large diameter parts, with a larger 3.937" working stroke and<br />
groove width up to .7874". Driven by an auxiliary motor, the LinA XL is a special broach designed for nonlive<br />
tool l<strong>at</strong>he applic<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
The <strong>BENZ</strong> LinA Axial Broach is available in two different models and three different lengths. The LinA FSS,<br />
FS & FSL models for Haas Axial l<strong>at</strong>he applic<strong>at</strong>ions have strokes of .669", 1.259" & 2.007". The LinA Axial<br />
EMAG is designed specifically for the EMAG VL 3 l<strong>at</strong>he applic<strong>at</strong>ion.
The <strong>BENZ</strong> LinS broaching tool system is a oneofakind system th<strong>at</strong> enables programmers to broach splines,<br />
torx, hex and keyways on their machining centers. The LinS provides broaching solutions without<br />
compromising either spindle or spindlebearing integrity. By rot<strong>at</strong>ing the spindle <strong>at</strong> 50 rpm, the LinS provides<br />
spindle and bearing protection and the torque arm elimin<strong>at</strong>es oscill<strong>at</strong>ing spindle conditions which will cause<br />
the broach insert to chip. The LinS can also be adjusted manually to provide 360degree rot<strong>at</strong>ion and can be<br />
used with a fourth axis to cre<strong>at</strong>e splines, torx and hex shapes.<br />
<strong>BENZ</strong> <strong>Inc</strong>., a member of the Zimmer Group, is the technological leader for the production of innov<strong>at</strong>ive<br />
machining heads for the wood, plastics, composites and metalworking industries. The company<br />
manufactures tooling in Germany and offers sales and support for North America through its subsidiary,<br />
<strong>BENZ</strong> <strong>Inc</strong>., from its Charlotte, NC headquarters. For more inform<strong>at</strong>ion, visit http://www.benzinc.com or call<br />
