CAN
YOU REALLY AFFORD CHEAP TOOLING?
Wadkin
offers exceptional quality for the most affordable price!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your moulder is a large investment; it makes perfect sense to equip this
valuable machine with only the highest quality tooling. But at what costs? |
|
 |
|
Wadkin
Cutterheads are simply the best value for your
tooling dollar! We manufacture our corrugated moulder heads to meet or surpass
the highest industry standards. We only use the highest quality materials
to offer you a product designed for superior performance for life. |

BALANCE: |
|
Back

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The
life and performance of your moulder hangs in the balance."
|
|
|
ISO
quality standards refer to G16 as being the industry standard for rotating
tools. Wadkin moulder heads are dynamically balanced to G2.5, which is a
substantially tighter tolerance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
A tool that is only 1 gram out of balance on a moulder spindle at 6,000
rpms is equal to swinging a 22 pound weight over your head! Can you afford
excessive bearing and machine wear from out-of-balance tooling? |

"All

For
near perfect accuracy, Wadkin maintains bore concentricity of 0.000787 (20
microns) on all moulder heads. (A micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter.) |

|
"The
hole true and nothing but. . .." |
|
|
|
|
|
The
ISO specified bore tolerance is 0 to 25 microns. Too tight a tolerance will
make the cutterhead difficult to fit on the shaft. Too loose a tolerance
results in a sloopy fit. Wadkin avoids these problems by tighter controlling
of the bore tolerance to +5 to +20 microns.

"Head
and shoulders above the rest" |
|
|
|
|
|
The
end on any moulder face must be square to the bore to avoid major machine
problems or damage.The end squareness tolerance on Wadkin moulder heads
is 0.00039 inches (10 microns). The end-to-end parallelism is 0.000197 inches
(5 microns).

"Broaching
the subject of corrugations" |
|
|
|
|
|
Wadkin
achieves near-perfect parallelism and repeatability on all Hydro Bore Cutterheads
by "broaching" our head corrugations. The broaching process actually
shapes the entire tool surface rather than using standard metal cutting
tools to cut the corrugations. FOUR times more precise than “cut”
serrations. |
|
|
|
|
|
BENEFITS: |
- Safer
knife support
- Improved
finish
- Higher
concentricity
- More
accurate grinding and jointing of knives in the head
