Micro-adjustment

The micro-adjustment can be considered as the logical next step in the development of the tapered screw adjustment from the front. A built-in adjustment cartridge in the holder enables the user to achieve an extremely precise adjustment of the machining measures when using inserts of the product ranges W 2850… and W 3570 … . This adjustment cartridge can be integrated from bore diameter 14 mm.

The advantageous relation – 1 turn of screw = 0.02 mm adjustment range of machining diameter results in an extremely precise adjustment  directly in the machining center without any additional devices. Particularly in uninterrupted processes such as serial production of automotive parts, the wear of the insert can easily be compensated by use of the micro-adjustment. This type of adjustment system offers advantages also for the machining of highly precise single-item production parts as the  adjustment process does not require the direct exchange of the tool.
