Lighter weight of aluminum, the manufacturing of the cutter body is commonly used materials. With today cnc machine processing speed increasing, the machine weighs a lot more light, reducing the weight of the tool is vital.

Most CNC machine tool gripper to have a certain weight limit. Aluminum structure boring tool can ensure that the tool does not exceed the weight limit gripper weight standards, while working diameter greater than 4 '(about 100mm) hole (in general, the processing diameter less than 4' boring tool, Whether the use of aluminum or steel structure, its weight will not exceed the weight limit of the standard gripper). Boring tool weight reduction can reduce the error spindle, thereby improving the accuracy of boring. In addition, the lighter weight of the boring tool, spindle wear and damage itself is also smaller.

CNC machine tools in the handling of large, heavy boring tool when, due to the weight of steel boring tool often exceeds the weight limit of the standard machine gripper, and therefore had to use manual handling or use of an overhead crane lifting arm, both time-consuming and laborious . If using a lightweight aluminum structure boring tool, this problem can be solved. For example, Kansas used a factory original processing aperture 14 '(355.6mm) boring tool steel and weighs about 40 pounds, you need to use the boom can be installed on the machine and replace it with a handful of the same specifications of the aluminum structure boring After the knife, which weighs less than 25 pounds, you can use the automatic tool changer mounted knife, thus greatly improving productivity.
