Horn Ball-Nose End Mill System Reduces Cycle Times Horn USA Inc.’s KX system high-performance ball nose end mill solution is designed for economical and reliable machining of ball bearing tracks in constant velocity joints. Share Phillips Corporation - Education Featured Content View MorePhillips Corporation Featured Content View MoreHorn USA Inc.’s KX end mill system is high-performance solution for the economical and reliable machining of ball bearing tracks. Horn developed the system specifically to meet increasing demands for precision, flexibility and productivity in the production of constant velocity joints. The system covers a wide range of components and offers three sizes. Flexible machining strategies enable both soft and hard machining — from roughing and chamfering to finish milling. Users can adapt the strategy precisely to their process requirements, promoting a high level of cost-effectiveness. The KX system features soft-cutting cutting heads with defined edge preparations to improve process reliability. Precise internal coolant positioning and an optimized interface improve rigidity. Depending on the component, machining time is shortened by several seconds per workpiece. Constant velocity joints are used in every car and are also known as homokinetic joints. Their purpose is to transmit uniform torque and angular speed from the drive shaft to a second shaft mounted at an angle to it. The joints are most widely used in vehicle construction for power transmission from the gearbox to the drive wheels. Constant velocity joints can transmit rotational movements at an angle of up to 50 degrees. In addition to fixed ball joints, sliding constant velocity joints are also used. They allow not only angular movement but also axial movement so that power transmission is not interrupted when steering or during movement of the suspension. At the heart of a homokinetic joint are the balls, which roll in precisely milled tracks. The ball tracks have very tight manufacturing tolerances and a high surface finish requirement. The tight tolerances and manufacturing quality determine the service life of the joints. The form tolerances of the parameters are within microns.
