URMA Launches its Basic Line with «Gamma-System»

a System-Independent Interface (Cylindrical Shank)

Article: URMA AG

Granted, URMA has created seemingly more innovative products for the market in the past. However, the benefits and the currently great customer demand for the new Gamma System should not be underestimated! Smaller contract manufacturers often face the dilemma of having to drill holes here and there. This should be done quickly and cost-effectively. Yet the necessary boring systems are often not available, while at the same time, the drill holes must be produced precisely and economically.

 

With the "Gamma System" URMA fills exactly this gap. Gamma consists of a series of high-performance boring heads. They are absolutely identical in the adjustment and cutting range with the standard double cutter and fine boring heads of the modular URMA systems "Alpha-module" and " Beta-module". Therefore, they offer the same advantages to the user. The only difference is the mounting side. Instead of an Alpha or Beta shank, the Gamma system uses a cylindrical Weldon shank. This makes it easy to hold double cutters and fine boring heads with any Weldon or collet chuck. In addition to a great cost advantage, this is also very interesting for the use on lathes.

URMA Boring System Gamma

The new economical "URMA Boring System Gamma" is system-independent and multifunctional thanks to its cylindrical shank

With Alpha and Beta modules, the contact surfaces for the boring heads are significantly larger and give the system stability. With the Gamma System, the axial support is compensated for by an adjustment sleeve. After the boring head is firmly mounted in the chuck, the adjustment sleeve is pressed onto the face of the chuck and secured.

The URMA Gamma System consists for the time being of the fine boring heads type 05 and type 25 and the double cutter type 14, as well as the IntraMax series. Thus, the entire diameter range from 0.2 - 297 mm can be covered. Proven processes such as offset roughing or RFP (Rough Finishing Process) are of course possible with the Gamma System as well as external machining.

The economical system also scores on the cost side. The URMA Gamma System heads contain exactly the same technology as the modular Alpha-module boring heads. Consequently, the prices are also almost identical. The massive cost advantages result from the elimination of system mounting, extensions, and reductions. Ideally, the users can use their existing Weldon or collet chucks and thus have an extremely attractive and inexpensive tool at hand.
