WMS-Engineering: Thread milling cutter for machining very soft materials
WMS-Engineering Werkzeuge-Maschinen-Systeme GmbH developed a thread milling cutter for machining PU-foamed polyethylene components. The company is also exhibiting at DeburringExpo this year.
As a specialist for mechanical deburring, WMS-Engineering is repeatedly presented with new challenges by customers. One was the machining of PU-foamed polyethylene components. The thin, yielding material protrusion makes the use of conventional tools almost impossible. The company's solution: the thread milling cutter.
The prototype - designed at the University of Tübingen - was further developed at the company and made ready for series production. A special feature is that the thread milling cutter can not only process very soft materials, but can also remove burrs from edges or surfaces. Thanks to its flexible shape, it adapts individually to any contour. The modular design allows different versions in terms of diameter and threads. WMS-Engineering Werkzeuge-Maschinen-Systeme will be exhibiting at DeburringExpo 2023 at booth 709.
