Micro adjustable boring head compensatesfor tool wear

Komet's MO3 Speed Micro Adjustable Head with high precision adjustment mechanism, allows fine adjustment of up to 0.00008 in. (0.002mm). The fine adjustment designed to compensate the insert wear is performed and accomplished while the tool is still mounted on the machine spindle. When the insert position is changed, an automatic balancing adjustment is made via the balancing weight that lies diametrically opposite. This is a balancing operation on the adjustment plane for the insert. The process is done with seven basic M03/Speed tool bodies to cover a boring diameter range from 24.8 to 206 mm (0.976 in. to 8.110 in.). Changeover accuracy is completed with the ABS connection. For finish boring of larger diameters from 100 mm to 206 mm (3.937 in. to 8.110 in.), three adaptable and replaceable bridges are available along with a basic ABS 63 tool body. The improved M03 Speed Micro-adjustable Finish Boring Head also offers flexibility with its replaceable insert holders.
