Thread Whirling Insert Cutter Rings

Featured during the show will be the expanded line of thread whirling 12 form insert cutter rings for Citizen, Star, Tornos, Maier, Tsugami, Nexturn and Traub machines. Developed by UTILIS and Genevieve, the high performance system delivers faster thread whirling of long threaded forms, bone screw thread profiles, and miniature ballscrews, and uses the UTILIS standard 1600 series MULTIDEC-CUT insert blanks. The system boosts productivity 5x or more on Swiss-type machines over the previous traditional whirling systems. Recently conducted tests resulted in a cycle reduction greater than 60% on titanium bone screws.

Also displayed will be the 2150 Series precision micro-broach holder for Swiss-type machines featuring the smallest head and bearing design available, allowing for easy rotation of broach tools 2mm and under. This series is especially suited for hex profiles under 2mm or 0.078" and when no other holder fits into the machine's tooling zone without interfering with other stations. Ideal applications include medical and dental implants.

Genevieve Swiss provides specialized tools, accessories, application and process assistance for Swiss-type machining and small parts manufacturing. Products include PCM rotary broaching tools, tool holders for Citizen Machines, Star, Maier, Nexturn, Okuma, VDI, UTILIS Multidec Swiss-type turning and micro bore tools, and more.
