Erix Tool Applications

Four operations. One tool family.

Spotfacing, chamfering, deburring and counterboring with the same patented principle. Wings and cutting grades are chosen to suit the material and the operation.

The Erix folding-wing cutting tool with the wing deployed — The same folding-wing principle is used across the four operations.

One cycle, two sides

Front and back spotfacing

Spotfacing creates a flat seating face around a pre-drilled hole, for nuts, bolts and bearings, for example. The Erix cutting wing folds into the spindle as it passes through the hole and opens for machining. The front and back can be machined in the same cycle without turning the part.

Hole diameters 4.5–69 mm
Front and back in the same cycle
Guide pin for stability

Repeatable edge finishing

Chamfering

Chamfering breaks the edge of a workpiece or hole, removes sharp edges and prepares the part for assembly and welding. The patented design has one moving part. Automated machining improves repeatability and reduces the risk of operator error.

HSS or indexable inserts
For hard-to-reach areas

Reach the edge on the back

Deburring

Burrs left after machining can cause assembly problems, material fatigue and wear. The folding wing reaches surfaces that are otherwise hard to access. Internal coolant helps flush away chips and cools the spindle and wing. The material range extends from soft plastics to titanium.

Spindles from Ø 4.5 mm

Flat-bottomed seats

Counterboring

Counterboring enlarges part of a pre-drilled hole into a flat-bottomed seat, for screw heads, bearings and bushings, for example. Erix uses the same folding-wing principle to machine from the front or the back without turning the part.
