Eliminate
Guide Bushing Gap.
In sliding headstock (Swiss-Type) lathes, the clearance between the titanium rod and the guide bushing is the primary vector for vibration. A mismatch of just 0.02mm can lead to tool chatter and premature insert failure.
Vibration vs. Tolerance Class
RESULT: Excessive chatter at >4000 RPM. Sub-par surface finish.
RESULT: 6000+ RPM Stability. Mirror-finish capability.
Absolute Straightness
Standard cold-drawn rods contain internal stresses that cause "bar whip" inside the feeder. ValidTi ULTRA rods undergo double-pass centerless grinding and laser-straightening.
- Straightness: < 0.3mm / meter
- Surface Finish: Ra 0.8 (Mirror)
High Pressure Logic
Titanium is notorious for "stringy" chips that wrap around the guide bushing. Without high-pressure coolant (HPC), automatic production is impossible.
Min Pressure: 20 Bar (300 PSI)
Tool Geometry: Use high-positive rake angles.
Cycle: Utilize G04 dwell cycles to manually break chip strings if HPC is absent.
