Knurling Tools 397

Features of the knurling process

Knurling tools

Knurling cutters

Application

• Processing cold-formable materials • Knurling on thin-walled workpieces is problematic • Wider application scope • All knurled forms and profiles can be produced • Suitable for face and inner knurling • Knurling up to the collar possible • Tool can be applied to any part of the workpiece

• Processing of almost all materials possible • Thin-walled workpieces can be processed • Suitable for visible knurls – highest knurl quality • Restricted application areas • Only RAA and RGE knurl profiles are achievable • Cylindrical workpieces can only be processed in the axial direction of machining • To prepare the tool in the central area of the work - piece a punch is required • No signficiant change in the outer diameter of the workpiece • Low surface compression • Higher precision and surface quality of the knurl • Lower machine load
