CNC - Pipe beveling, chamfering, turning, counter boring, threading, cut grooving, and milling
Alternative production technology is introduced with the RTL ZX machine. Instead of fixed and preset tools, tool holders with integrated cutting insert carriers are used on facing heads, which can perform – depending on the machining application – different shapes. Due to the additional radial tool axis, which is dedicated to the separately controllable facing head slides, an interpolating CNC 2-axis machining application can be realized.
Compared to RTL Z machines, the RTL ZX offers a considerable advantage in regard to the lifecycle costs: This technology uses standard cutting inserts inside the insert carriers instead of customary expensive preset special tools. Also, it can be equipped with pre-set program sheets.
