INNOVATIVE BROACHING TECHNOLOGY

Innovative Broaching Technology. In the field of metal cutting for mass production of parts with complex profiles MANUFACTURING OF COMPLEX PROFILES the broaching operation is the most economical production method if the following conditions are required: high cutting volume and high consistency of dimensions. The advantages of broaching are based on its technical principles: by means of a multi-toothed tool with cutting edges one after the other and graduated in depth of chip thickness. The profile of part can be broached in 1 stroke. Technically other procedures do one tooth at a time. Broaching can do all at the same time. Internal broaching is started from a pre-machined hole while external broaching is to machine a surface profile. Broaching is possible in both directions horizontal and vertical. Cutting motion can be linear or helical. EFFICIENCY SHORT PROCESSING TIME STABLE PROCESS PROOVEN MACHINE DESIGN EASY FOR AUTOMATION 2

100 years of experience cannot be replaced. In the year 1900, when KARL KLINK founded his company in Pforzheim, precision and skilled know-how were already appreciated by the local industries. In 1920 he designed a completely new type of tool that forever changed the metal working industry. This new method, named broaching, is successful in many other types of production due to its high productivity. First of all, these broaching tools were used on simple presses till KARL KLINK started in 1939 with the production of special broaching machines. With this step a complete production system for the range of broaching procedures was extended. That was the base for rapid business expansion and worldwide exportations. At present KARL KLINK's manufacturing range covers broaching machines and broaching tools that set new standards in all fields of industrial manufacturing.

For decades KARL KLINK pursued the development of new broaching technologies. In close cooperation with universities and colleges of technology and with most up-dated design methods it is possible to create innovative machines and tool engineering. Present example is a newly developed hard broaching cell with electric linear drives, enabling high speed machining. HARD BROACHING DRY BROACHING HIGH SPEED BROACHING CNC-HELICAL BROACHING 3

Broaching Machines designed and built by specialists. KARL KLINK s qualified and motivated staff is building efficient broaching machines in a spacious and modern assembly shop. The range of broaching machines covers all types of internal and external broaching as well as broaching machines in special design. Efficiently and particularly designed automation systems enlarge the production range to a complete solution from 1 hand that can optimally be integrated in modern production lines. In the field of internal broaching the concept of table-up broaching machines favored by KARL KLINK in double column design with 2 drives combines highest stability and optimization for automation possibilities. This proven design is not only excellent for conventional requirements but also as a platform for the new methods of hard, dry and CNC controlled helical broaching in which KARL KLINK is market leader. For simple applications the product range includes also table-up type broaching machines with 1 column. Special Broach Sharpening Machines for all kinds of broaching tools complete the program range.
