Our VibroCut oscillate tool holders use targeted oscillation movements to create predetermined breaking points in the chip and thus ensure reliable and economical chip breaking. By minimizing machine downtime due to chip breaking, we not only increase process reliability, but also boost the efficiency of your production.
Discover the versatile application possibilities of VibroCut oscillate and use the potential of this innovative technology to take your production processes to the next level. Increase the efficiency and performance of your machining production with us!
Despite the great importance of turning as the main process for manufacturing rotationally symmetrical components, the chip breaking problem has not yet been solved reliably. Insufficient chip breaking causes process uncertainties along the chip flow – damaged surfaces, tool breakage and clamping errors can be the result. In addition, chip nests form in the work area, which pose a risk of collision and hinder the removal of chips from the lathe by chip conveyors and thus the automation capability and reduce machine availability.
An innovative method for solving this problem is oscillation support for the turning process. With the help of the VibroCut oscillate system, chip formation can be specifically adjusted. If the oscillation path is greater than the feed rate, cutting interruptions occur which directly lead to an interruption in chip formation and therefore to short broken chips.

Whitepaper – Vibration-assisted turning with VibroCut oscillate
The machining of hot formed blanks is of great importance in the automotive industry. The ductile material of forgings often leads to poor chip breaking behavior, especially in turning processes. Particularly in turning processes with continuous cutting engagement, the material behavior leads to the sometimes sporadic formation of long chip shapes and tangled chips.
In a joint project between Schaeffler AG and the raunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU, a ocsillation system with its own drive was developed and successfully integrated into a machine tool for machining wheel bearings. The innovative technology enables a defined vibration movement in the feed direction during the turning process. As a result, weak points in the chip can be generated in a targeted manner to ensure optimum chip breaking.
