INNOVATIVE BROACHING TECHNOLOGY

2

Innovative Broaching Technology. In the field of metal cutting for mass production of parts with complex profiles

the broaching operation is the most economical production method if the following conditions are required: high

cutting volume and high consistency of dimensions. The advantages of broaching are based on its technical principles:

by means of a multi-toothed tool with cutting edges one after the other and graduated in depth of chip thickness.

The profile of part can be broached in 1 stroke. Technically other procedures do one tooth at a time. Broaching can do

all at the same time. Internal broaching is started from a pre-machined hole while external broaching is to machine a

surface profile. Broaching is possible in both directions horizontal and vertical. Cutting motion can be linear or helical.

100 years of experience cannot be replaced. In the year 1900, when KARL KLINK founded his company in

Pforzheim, precision and skilled know-how were already appreciated by the local industries. In 1920 he designed a

completely new type of tool that forever changed the metal working industry. This new method, named broaching, is

successful in many other types of production due to its high productivity. First of all, these broaching tools were used

on simple presses till KARL KLINK started in 1939 with the production of special broaching machines. With this step

a complete production system for the range of broaching procedures was extended. That was the base for rapid

business expansion and worldwide exportations. At present KARL KLINK's manufacturing range covers broaching

machines and broaching tools that set new standards in all fields of industrial manufacturing.

Research and Development. For decades KARL KLINK pursued the development of new broaching technologies. In

close cooperation with universities and colleges of technology and with most up-dated design methods it is possible to

create innovative machines and tool engineering. Present example is a newly developed hard broaching cell with electric

linear drives, enabling high speed machining.

Broaching Machines – designed and built by specialists. KARL KLINK’s qualified and motivated staff is

building efficient broaching machines in a spacious and modern assembly shop. The range of broaching machines

covers all types of internal and external broaching as well as broaching machines in special design. Efficiently and

particularly designed automation systems enlarge the production range to a complete solution from 1 hand that can

optimally be integrated in modern production lines. In the field of internal broaching the concept of table-up broaching

machines favored by KARL KLINK in double column design with 2 drives combines highest stability and optimization

for automation possibilities. This proven design is not only excellent for conventional requirements but also as a platform

for the new methods of hard, dry and CNC controlled helical broaching in which KARL KLINK is market leader. For

simple applications the product range includes also table-up type broaching machines

with 1 column. Special Broach Sharpening Machines for all kinds of broaching tools

complete the program range.

High quality broaching tools – precise and economical. The quality of broaching tools determines the

result of broaching operations regarding dimensional accuracy and economic efficiency. These cover internal broaching

operations by means of flat, round and profile broaches as well as helical broaches and complex surface and POT

broaching tools, specially designed broaching tools for hard and dry broaching. The dimensions of broaching tools can

be adapted to all applications. KARL KLINK has decades of experience in the design of broaching tools. High tech

manufacturing technologies ensure the quality of the manufacturing processes, thus improving economical efficiencies.

For maintenance of broaching tools we are in the position to offer a complete and an universal After Sales Service.

Servicing of broaching tools to achieve the optimum of process efficiencies. The base for stable

operations requires high quality broaching tools. The skilled regrinding of the broaching tools achieves higher quantity

between tool regrindings, longer total tool life and improved work piece quality. KARL KLINK’s regrinding department

offers the complete range of broaching tool maintenance. Our Tool Management ensures a reliable production.

Quality Management. KARL KLINK has certifications to Standards DIN EN ISO 9001 and VDA 6.4. The qualification

of our specialists and the utilization of the very best measuring and control technologies with high tech 3D measuring

ensures a high quality level for processes executed by our machines and broaching tools.
