    Sawing technology + CFMcurve Chamfering with Curve Machining

    Precision system for complex processing
    of tubes and solid material.

    Cutting and end-machining

    Request

    The ACS+CFMcurve production system automatically saws master lengths/fixed lengths into workpieces of any length and transfers these automatically to a subsequent machining process, such as end machining of both ends. The extensive range of machining options for this system includes turning, chamfering, thread cutting, axial machining, radial machining, milling, drilling (center drilling, radial drilling), profile turning, groove cutting, radius chamfering and angled chamfering. All this turns the production of precision shafts into child’s play!

    RATTUNDE quality, durability and optimal performance ensures process reliability in your production!

    From cutting tubes to contouring edges
    Whether you're manufacturing camshafts, bushings, airbag cartridges, shock absorbers or precision shafts...
    With RATTUNDE systems you’ll produce sophisticated products of outstanding quality!

    Innovative, user-friendly and powerful

    • Automatic and defined outward workpiece transfer if:
      • the previously defined tolerances are exceeded
      • clamping errors occur
      • the chamfering torque is exceeded or not reached
    • Service life extension of the cutting tools via automatic shifting of the tool edge (no manual adjustment of the cutting tools required)

      • Thread cutting with chip-breaking stroke (inside and outside thread)
      • Set-up of the position and depth of inside and outside grooves
      • Changing the contour machining direction
      • Create contours with different parameters for each operation
      • Freely select chamfer angles or multiple chamfers for contours
      • Free definition of the machining process (e.g. creation of a contour before or after the thread)
      • Separate assignment of different thread pitches for both workpiece sides
      • Enter the angularity (inside thread and outside thread) for both workpiece sides
      • Cut the inside and outside thread with different infeed options
      • Chip length reduction via input parameters
    Optimal performance right from the start!
