LIVE TOOL & SPINDLE REPAIR

GenSwiss® was founded on Live Tools more than 20 years ago. We have the largest selection of Live Tools available and we have been selling Live Tools longer than any other company in the Swiss-Machine Industry.

WHAT IS LIVE TOOLING?

Live Tooling uses computer-numerical-controlled devices and the turret of numerous spindle and power-driven, sub-spindle lathes to perform several processes while the workpiece remains in alignment with the focal spindle.

Standard live tooling is most often suited to production work, where the finish, tolerances and cutter life are critical: whereas quick-change systems may be better suited to the shop producing familes of products and other instances where presetting the tool offline is a key factor in keeping the shop at maximum productivity.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS OF LIVE TOOLING

Milling - Manufacturers can use live tools to eliminate materials from a revolving workpiece by progressing the tool into it. This happens by changing the working head speed and constantly changing direction on one or several axes.

Boring - You can use live tools to increase the size and diameter of an already drilled hole in a workpiece while ensuring precision.

Drilling - Live tools are used to drill cylindrical holes in workpieces held in a chuck, making it possible to connect or join machined parts or keep them in position.

Tapping - Live tools make it possible to cut threads inside a hole or slot on the material to allow the threading of screws into the hole.

Turning - Live tools ease turning processes where the material is cut from the external diameter of a rotating workpiece to lessen the workpiece to the specified or required diameter.
