With contouring heads, you can add different layers of versatility when compared to horizontal boring mills. Actuated by the Z-axis and live spindle motions, contouring heads offer a programmable axis capable of turning and complex machine operations. This reduces the number of setups and tool changes, maximizes spindle use, decreases cycle time and lowers manufacturing costs.
Use of boring mills means you don’t have to move the part, which is especially important when working with a large piece that is hard to move or awkward to rotate. The head can also be changed from the tool magazine, saving more even more time!
