Our unique VIBROturn tool holders integrate an additional vibration movement that specifically creates predetermined breaking points in the chip and thus ensures reliable and economical chip breaking. By minimizing machine downtimes caused by chip breaking, we not only increase process reliability, but also the efficiency of your production.
Discover the versatile applications of VIBROturn and use the potential of this unique technology to take your production processes to a new level. Increase your efficiency in machining part 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 packings 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 vibration support for the turning process. With the help of the VIBROturn system, chip formation can be specifically adjusted. If the vibration amplitude is greater than the feed rate, cutting interruptions occur, which directly lead to an interruption in chip formation and thus to short broken chips.

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 vibration 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.
