The company is continuing to write its success story related to this area that started with the "original reamer" in 1954. Thanks to decades of experiences and continuous further development and optimisation, MAPAL can offer its customers the optimum tooling solution, perfectly tailored to the complexity of the machining operation and the precision requirements. Next to tailor-made custom solutions, MAPAL offers a broad standard programme of tools for reaming and fine boring.

The programme from MAPAL includes, along with tools for machining steel, inox, cast iron and aluminium, also solutions for the cost-effective, reliable reaming of titanium, super alloys, plastics and composite materials. High-performance coatings The coating on the cutting edges is a vital factor for the tool life and optimal machining results. MAPAL offers a large selection of substrates and coatings, each matched to the related machining case. The state-of-the-art inhouse coating plant is one decisive factor to provide optimum coatings. Reconditioning in original quality Re-ground reaming tools and cutting inserts that achieve a machining performance of up to 100 percent compared to new tools represent an important control lever for production costs. For this reason MAPAL offers tool reconditioning in the form of re-grinding and re-coating in manufacturing quality. And that includes comprehensive services: If required, MAPAL organises the collection and delivery of the tools and guarantees standardised original quality worldwide. Latest production equipment 3D design and simulations form the basis for the manufacture of MAPAL tools. The data are transferred via interfaces to the related machining centre that forms part of the state-of-art range of machinery available on site. In this way MAPAL reaming tools are produced to the highest quality requirements with monitoring and control by experienced staff. Precision and effectiveness are guaranteed. Custom solutions Special machining tasks require special tools. For this reason MAPAL offers custom reaming tools individually tailored to the requirements of the customer. Requirements are met optimally with special lead geometry and coatings as well as multi-stepped tools. Combination solutions with other tool technologies from MAPAL can further increase the productivity and reduce non-productive times. Tools with guide pads Highest accuracies with the MAPAL principle Tools with guide pads have high accuracy and performance due to the direct guiding in the bore using guide pads and the high quality of the precision-ground indexable inserts. Particularly on the fine machining of bores, the requirements are exceptionally high on the cutting material, coating, cutting edge geometry and the quality of the grinding. Due to highly sensitive and accurate adjusting systems, the required diameter is produced to the μm from the first part. The setting effort is significantly reduced by the EasyAdjust-System from MAPAL, as it is only necessary to set the diameter of the tools. High-performance reamers with cylindrical shank The innovative monoblock tools allow practically all materials to be machined. Even difficult to machine workpiece materials can be machined due to the ideal combination of geometry, cutting material and coating with high performance. MAPAL high-performance reamers with cylindrical shank are available in two different designs: As tipped design with a tool body and separately attached blades made of carbide, cermet, PcBN and PCD; As a monolithic design made of solid carbide, HSS and solid cermet with cutting edges that are machined from the tool body material. Replaceable head reamers MAPAL offers replaceable head reamers with different head systems. They impress with exact radial run-out and changeover accuracy, and with safe and simple handling, particularly during assembly and dismantling. The standard programme covers versions for through bores and blind bores as well as a broad choice of cutting materials. Reaming solutions for large diameters Especially for machining from a diameter of 40 mm, a programme of high-performance reamers with individual configuration options and HSK or module shank is available. From the simple cutting ring to high-performance tools with straightforward insert change on site – for every application MAPAL offers a suitable solution for the high-accuracy and cost-effective machining of almost all workpiece materials. Floating Holders For reaming operations on lathes During fine bore machining, the alignment of the pilot bore with the tool axis is a prerequisite for the correct function of the reamer. On the usage of reamers on lathes it is often necessary to compensate for axial errors between the tool adapter and the bore to be machined. This error can be corrected either by aligning the tool on the machine or using a floating holder. A floating holder is particularly useful if the offset changes continuously due to the thermal expansion of the machine or at different positions when rotating the revolver. MAPAL floating holders guarantee optimal results during machining at high speeds and feeds. Custom solutions for reaming and fine boring Contact Data protection Imprint © 2021 MAPAL Dr. Kress KG
