One adjustment provides precise bores

Romi Machine Tools' Romicron is an ultra-precision boring system for finishing high-precision bores by adjusting the tip of the boring tool.

The Romicron system permits adjustments of 1.0µ (0.000040-in.) on the tool radius without removing the tool from the machine. The system is intended to handle production applications that demand statistical process control with CpK of 1.33 or greater. Boring range is 4.0 mm to 326 mm.

A clearly marked graduated dial makes it easy to see each adjustment, and the definite stop at each graduation allows the operator to feel and hear the (click) adjustment. There are no wrenches required for locking the tool, and adjustments are made without removing the tool from the machine. The Romicron KR coupling provides maximum stiffness on the taper through face-to-face contact and makes handling easy when assembling or disassembling to switch one Romicron head for another. The KR coupling lets the Romicron run in another machine by changing the appropriate adapter.
