Engis: ElectroMill® Diamond Milling Tool – One Tool, Endless Possibilities

Engis ElectroMill Diamond Finishing Tools
The Engis ElectroMill is designed to produce high quality, flat milled surfaces including interrupted cuts or machining bi-metallic materials

Engis Corporation, an industry leader respected throughout the world for providing high-quality superabrasive finishing systems, showcased the ElectroMill Diamond Milling Tool at the recently held IMTEX 2025 Exhibition, as part of its Electrogrip® superabrasive solutions.

The flat machining of bi‐metal surfaces or milling applications involving an interrupted cut can present daunting challenges to PCD or carbide milling cutters.  The inserts may chip during the milling process, resulting in high machining costs and elevated levels of sub‐standard or rejected parts. The Engis ElectroMill is designed to produce high quality, flat milled surfaces, even if an interrupted cut is present or multiple materials need to be machined simultaneously. It effectively replaces expensive, complex cutters in high volume applications such as high strength alloys, stainless steel, ceramics, cast iron, fiberglass pipe, composites and aluminum.

Features and benefits include high stock removal rates, stress-free cutting action, extended tool life, industry standard adapter mountings and milling cutting dimensions.  Additionally, superabrasives deliver longer tool life than conventional milling technology.

Combined with high pressure coolant, the ElectroMill can machine several materials to an extremely accurate value of flatness with very low tooling costs.  On cast iron, this hybrid tool can achieve flatness of up to 20 µm and surface finishes as smooth as 8 Ra over a single continuous length of 25,000 inches.  In some cases, customers have been able to reduce scrap and reworks significantly; this contributes to increased productivity and an improved bottom line.

ElectroMill has been used successfully in the marine, small engine automotive, off-road, agriculture, aerospace and defense industries, as well as ferrous, non-ferrous and exotic materials.

HORN: New tools for Deep Axial Grooving

The new Mini 114 system from Horn enables a face grooving depth of up to 10 mm. The Tübingen-based tool manufacturer is thus further expanding the already wide variety of this product family. The insert is suitable for turning and copy turning of axial grooves. The user does not need a special tool holder, as the insert is compatible with the existing axial holder system. As standard, Horn offers the EG55 carbide grade grooving tools in three different types from stock with cutting widths of 2 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm. The minimum diameter for grooving is 14 mm, while the maximum is 34 mm to 36 mm, depending on the type.

The face-screwed inserts of the Mini system are one of Horn’s core products. The tool system is suitable for turning and milling applications. The precision tools have proven particularly effective for boring, internal grooving and face grooving. Paired with the low-vibration carbide tool holders, the inserts produce good surface finish even with long overhangs and ensure excellent process reliability. The Mini system’s broad portfolio offers inserts in various sizes for different internal diameters as well as different geometries and substrates and CBN or diamond tips.

KNOLL Case Study: Bosch Power Solutions, Homburg

Together with the Energy Management team from Bosch Power Solutions, Homburg, the team from KNOLL Maschinenbau, Bad Saulgau, installed high-pressure pumps with frequency converters in 50 machining centers to improve efficiency and power consumption. The pumps were equipped with frequency converters to supply the machines with cooling lubricant as needed. The energy savings are on average over 50 percent.

  • KNOLL KTS High Pressure Pump with Frequency Converter

 

Environmental protection, CO2 balance and energy efficiency are the top issues of our time, and industry is also concerned with them intensively. At KNOLL Maschinenbau, Bad Saulgau, they are given high priority in many ways: in the office building, in production, but also in the products, solutions and services offered. As a leading provider of pumps, filters and complete coolant systems, the company promotes the use of frequency-controlled high-pressure pumps for supplying coolant to machine tools – not only as initial equipment, but also as retrofits. In order to determine the energy savings that can be achieved during ongoing operation, KNOLL developed the so-called E-PASS around fifteen years ago. This measurement service and the associated conversion are now used by numerous metalworking companies.

HORN: PTO Shaft Milling

Horn is expanding its tool portfolio for gear cutting to include types for milling PTO shafts. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the complete machining of drive shafts. Horn has standardised its own tool range for this purpose, which demonstrates high milling performance. The double-edged carbide insert S274 is used. The programme includes tools for PTO shaft sizes 1 3/8″ and 1 3/4″. The portfolio also includes special milling cutters for restricted shaft clearances. The M274 tool holders are equipped with an internal coolant supply for targeted cooling. The carriers have a diameter of 63 mm (2.48″) and 10 teeth.

 

Tractor attachments such as a mower or loader wagon do not have their own drive. To operate them, the mechanical drive energy of the tractor must be transferred to the attachment. This is done via the power take-off or PTO shaft. This drive, which can usually be switched on and off, is available at a secondary output of the tractor transmission. The energy can be utilised directly via a PTO shaft. A profiled shaft stub, which protrudes from the gearbox, is connected to the PTO shaft of the attachment by means of splined or involute gears. For operation, the user attaches the PTO shaft to the stub shaft in an axial direction. Rotationally symmetrical locks are used to secure the connection, which can be released easily and without tools.
