    • Modular MultiBore Boring System

    • The system

      The term MultiBore used by Wohlhaupter stands for a system of modular components which is compatible with every machine spindle. The boring tools have been developed and manufactured to the very highest standards of engineering practice and are also suitable for high-speed machining. Naturally, we will supply fully balanced complete tools on request.

      The connection

      The MVS (MultiBore)-connection has proved its worth in a million applications since its introduction in 1973.
      Wohlhaupter was the world's first maker of modular boring tools and developed the connection into today's perfect system solution. It offers the following benefits:

      • Easy and practical handling
      • Freely accessible threaded taper pins for precise cutter positioning
      • Triple point clamping (A, B, C) ensuring high axial clamping forces on mating faces
      • Maximum rigidity due to triple-point clamping
      • Accurate to less than 3 μm when tool is changed
        • Master shanks

        • For every job Wohlhaupter has just the right connecting component. Master shank connections between the machine tool and the MultiBore modular components are supplied for all machines. The MultiBore boring tools fit straight into the master shanks or can be fitted with intermediate modules to make up a complete tool suitable for the component being machined. Wohlhaupter master shanks equipped with the following MVS connecting components are available to meet the different machine requirements:

          • MVS 50-28 preferably for SK 40/HSK-A50 machines up to a boring diameter range of 83 mm
          • MVS 63-36 for machines bigger than SK 40/HSK-A50
          • MVS 80-36 up to 205 mm boring range
          • MVS 100-56 preferably from 200 mm boring range upwards

          Connection D40 / D60: For short overhangs and high torque transfers above 200 mm boring range. Each master shank with the MVS connection is supplied with the corresponding threaded taper pins. Shanks for a D 60 flange connection similar to DIN 6357 are supplied with T-bolts fitted and no M 16 pull studs.

          HSK master shanks for the Wohlhaupter MultiBore range offer you many benefits which include:

          • High level of accuracy when repeating or making a replacement
          • Quick replacement times
          • High static and dynamic rigidity
          • Safe machining at high speed
          • With standard balancing
          • Position of the tool edge
          • Field of application: machine tools

          German standard DIN 69893 (tapered hollow shanks Part 1, Form A and Form C) defines the position of the tool edge in single-edged cutting tools as right-hand versions.
          Based on this specification relating to the driving slots, every deviating edge position is expressed at Wohlhaupter in clockwise angular dimensions.
          In principle, the cutting edge position should be checked before any tool application, and with orders for special tools and special clamping devices must be approved in writing by the user.
        • Intermediate modules

        • The wide selection of intermediate modules on offer means the tool can be modified to suit the exact requirements of any machining task.

          The right choice of intermediate modules ensures a high degree of tool stability.

          For the best possible results when working with a diameter-to-length ratio over 1:5, we recommend intermediate modules made either of heavy metal or solid carbide which have special vibration damping properties.

          Wohlhaupter intermediate modules with precision balancing
          Tools and tool spindles are being designed for ever higher speeds resulting in higher requirements for balancing quality. The residual imbalance relating to the complete tool for various balance quality stages Q in relation to the operating speed is easily achievable with the balancing set screws screwed from outside into Wohlhaupter extension pieces, reducers, adapters and tool bodies. As a result, the additional fitting of balancing pieces is frequently unnecessary.

Wohlhaupter - for highest precision.
        • Boring tools Ø 200 - 3255 mm

        • For the past ten years, Wohlhaupter has continued to raise the bar in the internal machining of large bores with the Alu-Line series. Wohlhaupter has used existing product and system expertise to redesign the standard tools of the series Flex of Ø 500 - 3255 mm and seamlessly integrated it by adding it on to the Alu-Line tools of the series Eco of Ø 200 - 500 mm. Wohlhaupter therefore offers not only one of the largest, but also one of the most powerful and flexible tool ranges in the world for these bore sizes.

          This allows even the smallest slide with a boring range of Ø 500 - 780 mm to be used. Four base slides and four serrated slides alone cover the entire boring range of Ø 500 - 3255 mm. The serrated slides fit each of the four base slides, which make optimum combinations possible for whatever the current requirements demand.

          The Wohlhaupter MultiBore system also includes a wide selection of insert holders and precision boring tools 337 or 537 digital: rough and finish machining or the combined rough and finish machining Combi-Line - all this included with just one investment.

          With the tools of the series Basic D40 Wohlhaupter is adding lean, high-performance slides to its product range. This Basic D 40 slide range allows turning to be performed up to Ø 840 mm on lower-power machines: simple and flexible in use.
        • Clamping tools with MVS connection

        • Wohlhaupter supplies a complete range of clamping tools, matching the MVS connection proven successful a million times over. MultiBore tools provide the basis for the modular and service-orientated design of cutting tools.

          Here also, continuing change constantly puts a query over existing concepts or encourages innovations and additions. Perception is also a decisive factor here and as a result the adapter sleeves and arbours have also been supplemented with a coolant supply.

          The additional downward supplementary modular connection with smaller interfaces, in part above the size MVS 32-18, provides additional flexibility and allows the generation of added manufacturing value from this change. An interesting and fast alternative, instead of inflexible special solutions with delivery times!
      • Replaceable Inserts

      • The Wohlhaupter replaceable inserts range: extensive and always up to date

        Wohlhaupter is an independent supplier of indexable carbide, maintaining an extensive and technically strong replaceable insert program for its modular tool systems which are known throughout the world. In contrast to manufacturers of cutting materials who operate globally, Wohlhaupter can react rapidly to new trends in machining and offer a totally flexible program that is always up to date.

        This program is made up of replaceable inserts to Wohlhaupter specifications which are specially matched to precision holemaking and of the best established replaceable inserts on the market.

        The last-mentioned replaceable inserts were designed by the individual manufacturers principally for turning, which involves totally different machining conditions than precision holemaking. So only those replaceable inserts were selected which promised and could demonstrate in extensive tests special suitability for all aspects of boring with respect to their geometric characteristics in the area of the nose radius, the form of the edge preparation and their suitability for the particular cutting material.

        As the result of close technological cooperation with the suppliers and constant machining tests internally and externally, the existing range is constantly updated, amended and revised. This ensures that up to date cutting materials and geometries are always available.
