Guhring Takes a New Turn at Advanced Engineering 2017

When Guhring launched its new turning line for small components at the AMB show in 2016, the German cutting tool manufacturer couldn’t have foreseen the success that followed. The remarkable sales of the new 104, 106 and 305 Systems for turning, grooving, thread cutting and slotting proved such a hit, the company extended the ranges at EMO 2017 – and you can see these new arrivals at Advanced Engineering on Stand L12.

For those of you that couldn’t make it to EMO for the unveiling of the program extension, the complete line-up will be on show at Advanced Engineering. For manufacturers conducting small part turning or utilising sliding head turning centres, the new line-up will be a must see at the Advanced Engineering show at the Birmingham NEC next week.

The extensions to the small part boring and internal turning 104 Series will now see the arrival of additional ER collet variants. Furthermore, Guhring is also adding an imperial dimension range  to the existing metric portfolio. This will also include the standard programme with machine-specific properties for popular sliding head centres such as Star, Tornos and Citizen machine tools. For specialised clamping configurations, Guhring has now extended the 104 range to incorporate polygon and HSK-T tool shanks, as well as numerous new square shank designs that can be plugged-in to enhance flexibility.

Complementing the enhanced 104 Series is the expanded 106 System. The enhancements to the 106 Series include toolholding extensions that correspond with the new additions to the 104 Series. There is also an improved range of robust inserts for turning and roll forming with a depth of cut up to 2mm. This will improve productivity, surface finishes and tool life whilst reducing cycle times for end users. Guhring has also added inserts to the 106 System for complete profile threading up to M12. The comprehensive additions to both the 104 and 106 System is demonstrated by the fact that many designs are available in up to 7 different neck lengths and 5 different corner radii, making both systems the most comprehensive solution on the market for sliding head operators.

With the success of the two complementary tooling ranges being so evident, Guhring has also built-upon the success of the 305 System with extensive product additions launched at EMO. Bringing the developments to the UK, Guhring is excited to introduce smaller 10 x 10mm toolholder shanks for small and compact turning centres and platen tooling configured machines. The 305 System is now also offered with a variety of imperial dimensions as well as the existing and comprehensive metric toolholder and insert lines. Guhring has also extended the insert line for the 305 range with the addition of 12mm inserts and a wider insert seat for more robust and sturdy turning operations on small turning centres. Guhring has also added a selection of 3-edged inserts to the series for thread turning applications. For high productivity turning, Guhring has also developed a complete line of sintered chip formers for enhanced swarf removal and chip breaking on challenging materials.
