Deep rolling tools
Our deep rolling tools are mainly used to improve the component strength of rotationally symmetrical workpieces and components. In the automotive industry, deep rolling and roller burnishing have been used successfully for several decades in the machining of crankshafts, as well as on axles, gears, valve stems, screws, bores, bolts and threaded parts.
Roller burnishing tools
Roller burnishing can be used successfully for both non-hardened and hardened steel and cast workpieces. It is an almost dry and environmentally friendly process for surface treatment similar to deep rolling. In addition to the established machining of crankshaft bearings, there are a large number of applications and application possibilities for roller burnishing, and the variety of roller burnishing tools is correspondingly large.
In particular, roller burnishing of crankshaft bearing surfaces has resulted in excellent surface quality in numerous test series in cooperation with our customers. The process for crankshafts can be realized on the proven machine type 7893R with a proven tool concept. Other beneficial surface effects include hardening of the surface layer and strength-enhancing residual compressive stresses.
Tool service
Our tooling department has dedicated application engineers who work closely with our customers to support the optimization of rolling processes.
Your tasks include
- Carrying out tool training
- Support in optimizing tool life and thus reducing unit costs
- Analysis of the process-related environment
- Evaluation of machining and process data to optimize the machine's internal tool monitoring
- Tool monitoring
- Testing of alternative tool materials and design improvements in series production
- Recommendation and testing of suitable lubricants
Tool maintenance and reconditioning
Wear and service life are largely dependent on proper maintenance, care and service of the rolling tools. The quality of the reconditioning and the components used have a significant influence on the service life of the tools and the processing results of our machines.
At our locations in Erkelenz, Germany and Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA, we offer professional maintenance and reconditioning of your rolling tools by our experienced and trained staff.
