Engine Cylinder Head and Block Machining / PCD Rotating Tool

Touring Examples of PCD Rotating Tool for Cylinder Head Machining

・Multi-Step profile tools consolidate the hole finishing process. ・Achieve precise and stable accuracy by utilizing the characteristics of diamond material with sharp edges and abrasion resistance. ・Combining the optimal design and machining conditions can improve accuracy and machining time. ■Features Aluminum parts for powertrain applications are becoming more complex in shape and getting thinner for improvement of fuel efficiency and lightweighting. We contribute to various needs with design proposals suitable for further control of machining time and costs, such as process consolidation of multi-step holes, one-shot machining of roughing and finishing, and high feed with multi-blades.

Finishing multiple holes on the coaxiality line with a single multi-step reamer reduces machining time and ensures high coaxiality by consolidating processes. ■PCD Multi-Step Reamer for Finishing Solenoid Holes

The multiple cutting edges at the start of machining ensure the constraint of the cutting tool. Stable machining quality is achieved even for shapes with a difference in hole diameter. ■PCD Reamer for Finishing Spark Plug Holes

High precision grooving can be expected due to a cutting edge design that reduces Chatter caused by cutting resistance. ■PCD Side Cutter for Machining Cam Bearing Oil Grooves

High quality hole finishing with Chatter suppression is realized by the design considering the guide pad distribution and dynamic balance. ■1-Flute PCD Reamer for Finishing Valve Lifter Holes

■Multi-Step Finishing Difference in Performance According to Specifications and Shank Material 25 Coaxiality Roundness

■Multi-Step Finisher (Valve Guide/Sheet Parent Metal)

We propose a design that prevents chips from being fitted into the water jacket, and also takes into consideration a chatter-free cutting surface. ■PCD Endmill for Machining Spring Seat Surface

The design considering the quality degradation of interrupted areas (chips and grooves in machined holes) stabilizes machining accuracy. ■PCD Reamer for HLA Hole Finishing
