Heule's BSF Manual Gains Prominence in Industry Publications
Swiss Precision Since 1961
Heule Precision Tools has once again made headlines with their innovative BSF Manual, a tool designed to master the challenges of back spot facing where traditional actuation methods fall short. This specialized tool was featured prominently in "Defense and Munitions", "Modern Machine Shop", and "Modern Machine Shop - Mexico" during March and April 2024, underscoring its growing relevance in the machining industry.
Overview of the BSF Manual
The BSF Manual is crafted for scenarios where coolant flow is inadequate for blade actuation and air supply is inconsistent or unavailable. This tool is particularly adept at enabling back spot facing in difficult-to-reach areas such as casting flanges and bolt-head faces without requiring any modifications to the machine or changes in spindle direction. It's ideal for use in large boring mills and open-air machining environments. With sizes ranging from 6.5 mm to 20.5 mm and specials up to 40 mm, the BSF Manual caters to a broad spectrum of machining needs.
Heule's BSF Manual simplifies the machining process by allowing components to be spot faced in the same direction as the bore is drilled, which significantly saves time and reduces the cost associated with turning the workpiece. Its design eliminates the need for an anti-rotation device and operates efficiently both vertically and horizontally. The replaceable carbide-coated blades extend the tool's life, making it a robust choice for machining gear housings, yokes, engine casings, and aerospace components among other materials.
Featured Articles
In "Modern Machine Shop," the BSF Manual was lauded for its manual activation feature, which is a boon in environments lacking adequate coolant or air supply. The article highlighted the tool's ability to handle counterbores up to 2.3 times the through-hole diameter, making it safer and more reliable than bayonet-style tooling.
"Defense and Munitions" echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the BSF Manual's utility in military and defense applications where precision and reliability are paramount. The detailed operational guide provided in the article illustrates just how straightforward using the BSF Manual is, from positioning the tool to retracting the blade after machining.
