There are many ways to cut internal keyways and splines. The Elmass Technology with its guided tools offers many advantages and eliminates common problems such as misalignment of the keyway, and vibration or deflection of the cutting tool which are associated with broaching and slotting.
Our guided tools are self-centering and force the cutting tip to be in a 90 degree angle to the bore. The excentric guide inhibits any deflection of the tool bar which results in a keyway or spline, which maintains the depth over the entire length of the cut.
The precision ground tips, which have a highly defined geometrical shape, cut with zero clearance. We carry a large range of standard tools in H9, P9 and JS9 tolerances. Any other tolerance can be matched to your requirement.
The elmass tools are designed to cut keyways, splines and other profiles of exceptional quality in through holes and blind holes.
The patented Elmass Technology is based on 4 key components:
We work with most materials. This includes special grade stainless steel such as Hastelloy, high tensile steel, titanium and industrial plastics.
The elmass broaching tools can be used in elmass Vertical Broaching Machines as well as in any machine that makes a linear movement (e.g. pedestal drill, lathe, slotter, shaper).
Operating with one single life tip, the Elmass Broaching Tools are ideal to cut keyways, involute or straight sided splines, hexagons as well as many other shapes.
Ex Stock we can provide you with tools to the following specifications in metric or imperial standards:
The sets include the following components:
The 4 Standard Tool Sets cover the keyway range from 2mm to 36mm in bore diameters of 6mm to 150mm.
We hold a wide range of standard keyway and spline tools. Not frequently used shapes and sizes can be made to order within a few days.
