The REV System for CNC Lathes
Eccentric bushing patented by REV is a main feature
The REV Broaching Tool can be used for processes requiring straight cuts, such as broaching tab or key housings directly on CNC lathes, machining centers or milling machines. These operations are performed considerably faster and with remarkable precision. Ideal for both single and timed or multiple cuts. Inserts and tools are available to cut, square, hexagonal, pentagonal holes and involute teeth, as well as keyway slots, and PTOs. Also, available with quick turn-around of inquiries and orders are special inserts and tools based on specific customer demands.
The REV Broaching Tool allows broaching and slotting to be carried out directly on CNC machine tools without setting up other machines or having to sub-contract the work. It guarantees an excellent finish and always perfectly within tolerance. In addition to offering these significant advantages, work can be done with in the same coordinate system. Used on slotting or shaping machines, the REV tool represents an excellent substitute for traditional tools, as it offers greater versatility thanks to the re-usable tool body and the replaceable insert.
The REV Broaching Tool is available in various sizes, covering the entire range of the most common processing sizes, and each insert size can have various tolerance classes. Special insert measurements or tool shapes can be produced very rapidly, on customer demand.
The main feature of the REV system for CNC lathes is the patented eccentric bushing allowing any lathe without a Y-axis to perform broaching or slotting in perfect alignment with the workpiece. It is made with tool steel which is then hardened and ground. The bushing is manufactured in various sizes for use on all types of machines available on the market.
The REV Broaching Tool system is very flexible and makes it possible to perform a whole series of internal profiles by simply changing the insert. Using the indexing or dividing function available on CNC lathes, it is possible to perform square, hexagonal, pentagonal profiles and internal gears.
