FAK: Deep rolling of fillets
Characteristics
- Deep rolls fillets with the plunge-in process.
- Deep rolls contours or large fillets with the in-feed process.
- Roller unit includes axial/radial bearings for the in-feed process.
- Rolling force monitored by a dial gauge or sensor.
Advantages
- For use with CNC-controlled or conventional lathes.
- Complete processing in one setting.
- Symmetrical construction allows either right- or left-hand operation.
- Rotates in either direction.
Basic construction
- Type FAK deep rolling tools consist of a tool body equipped with a shank, a spring assembly that allows the roller head to move with no play and very low friction.
- The standard version contains a dial indicator for indirect indication of the spring force. As an option, the tools can be equipped with ECOsense process monitoring for external display of the spring force.
- The roller head is attached to the flexible, spring-loaded section of the tool body.
- The flexible roller holder moves in response to the radial or axial rolling forces on either side of the tool. The roller holder contains a finely machined, hardened roller with two tapered roller bearings.
