Product feature
Wohlhaupter India announces the addition of the GEN3SYS XT Pro drill and the Variobore boring head to their high productivity drilling & fine boring product lines. The GEN3SYS® XT Pro line of high penetration drilling products features enhanced holders and inserts with three unique geometries, and two advanced coatings. Combining specific geometries and coatings to create the optimal solution for different machining materials, this next level of the GEN3SYS® high penetration drilling product line delivers top results.

The GEN3SYS XT Pro inserts have been designed specifically for ISO material classes, making tool selection easy. They are offered for steels (class P), cast irons (class K), and non-ferrous materials (class N). The drill inserts come in diameters ranging from 11 mm (.4331 inches) to 35 mm (1.378 inches) and are available in .1 mm (.004 inch) increments. The inserts designed specifically for steel and cast iron have new AM400 series coatings, which provides increased wear resistance and tool life. Inserts for non-ferrous materials are coated with titanium nitride (TiN).

Holders for the GEN3SYS XT Pro line are offered in depth-to-diameter ratios of 3xD, 5xD, 7xD, and a new 10xD. These newly designed holders feature an enhanced flute design that improves chip evacuation and an updated coolant configuration that increases flow and directs additional coolant to the cutting zone. The GEN3SYS XT Pro holders are available in both imperial and metric shank diameters.

The VarioBore Precision Boring Head & System is a versatile and cost-effective tool that features a universal digital readout module. The VarioBore Precision Boring Head & System improves productivity through ease and accuracy of adjustment and virtually eliminates scrap because of its exact adjustments. VarioBore is manufactured in Germany by Wohlhaupter, whose innovative, modular tool systems are now part of Allied’s solutions for holemaking and finishing challenges.

The VarioBore boring head can be used alone or with a docking port for use with the universal digital module, a revolutionary new concept that can dock on any VarioBore head. A single module can be used on a wide variety of tools fitted with docking ports. With a range of 0.016 inches to 5.985 inches (0.4 to 152 millimeters), the boring head offers an accuracy of .0001 inches (0.002mm) on diameter, and speeds of up to 30,000 revolutions per minute.

A single Universal Digital Readout Module can be used to set any number of tools that have docking ports. The system uses selected Wohlhaupter 019, MiniDigi, PrimeBore, and DigiBore tooling. With an easy to read and use display that provides easy micron accurate settings, the module features an accuracy of .0001 inches (0.002mm) on diameter with μ accurate ± setting. The battery allows up to 5,000 settings and is switched off after 30 seconds. The detachable module remembers the last setting, even when it is detached. The module is coolant-sealed up to IP 65.

Please note in addition to supplying superior holemaking & finishing tools, technical teams are present all over India for your support. We also service our boring heads as an exclusive support to the customers.
