With its tool configurator (HTC – Horn Tool Configurator), Horn offers the possibility of supplying grooving tools in a short lead time. Horn focuses here on the grooving insert system 117. Following an enquiry from the customer, the HTC system offers the option of automatically generating a tool drawing of all insert profiles. This eliminates the lengthy design phase. The system enables quotations to be generated together with the technical drawing within 48 hours. Delivery time for tool holders and inserts is 10 days from the time of order.
Numerous cutting edge shapes and widths are possible for the grooving system. The inserts have a blank width of 8.5 mm (0.335″) to 26 mm (1.024″). The tool system is mainly used for groove and gear broaching. Thanks to the Greenline process, Horn offers a delivery time of five working days. The number of pieces is limited to a batch size of 50 and is subject to the customer’s approval of the drawing.
