Next level accuracy in fine boring
Digital radial boring heads provide quick, reliable adjustments, offer a cost-effective solution for achieving higher precision, and enhance performance in fine boring applications across a wide range of industries and uses.Step confidently into the next generation of digital boring technology. These heads deliver repeatable fine boring accuracy without increasing investment or disrupting workflows. Designed to streamline set‑up, reduce human error, and deliver reliable precision across aerospace, automotive, and general engineering, they combine the robustness of analog systems with the intelligence of a digital interface.
For larger diameters, the new Digital Fine Boring Block extends this capability by combining a digital fine boring block with an insert holder and counterweight for stable, high‑precision machining. Integrated safety features prevent centrifugal movement at high rpm, while through‑coolant delivery ensures efficient cooling at the cutting edge.
Transform your set-up accuracy
Experience fine‑boring precision with a 1 μm‑resolution digital display that transforms set-up accuracy. With a clear, wide, and reversible screen, operators avoid the guesswork of Vernier readings and, as one display works across all digital head sizes, your tooling ecosystem is simplified while quality and repeatability are elevated.
Your challenge: Fine boring on high‑tolerance aerospace and automotive components demands extreme accuracy. Manual Vernier set‑ups slow production, require highly skilled operators, and increase the risk of scrap, especially on final operations where human error becomes costly.
Our solution: The Digital Radial Boring Head delivers a fast, accurate and user‑friendly set‑up, reducing scrap, eliminating reading errors and boosting process reliability in fine‑boring operations such as engine casings, structural parts and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) components in aerospace and break discs, steering knuckles and cylinder blocks in the automotive segment.
Low‑investment for next-level accuracy
Modernize your machining capability without replacing your existing modular tool system. With identical external dimensions to analog heads and full compatibility with Graflex and Seco‑Capto adaptors, you keep your proven set-up while unlocking digital advantages. Even if the display runs out of charge, the head continues operating like an analog tool.
Your challenge: Upgrading tooling systems often means expensive reinvestment, retraining, and interruptions to manufacturing workflows.
Our solution: Our digital head gives you a cost‑effective path to modernization, reusing insert holders, adaptors, and intermediates saving you budget while enhancing capability.
Improved coolant flow, improved surface finish
High-pressure and multi-channels direct the coolant flow to the cutting edge, regardless of the piston position. This enhances chip evacuation and surface quality which is critical for components like engine casings, fan discs, brake discs, housing systems, turbo housings, and structural aerospace parts. The result: smoother finishes, more stable cutting conditions, and greater confidence in high‑tolerance applications.
Your challenge: Poor chip evacuation and inconsistent surface finish lead to rework, unexpected tool wear, and costly delays – especially in precision aerospace components.
Our solution: Optimized coolant flow keeps chips moving, reduces heat, and supports consistent surface finish quality across all your fine boring operations.
Sustainable, battery‑free operation
The digital display is built with a 100% recyclable plastic casing, it charges via a USB, and offers up to ~200 settings on a single cycle. With no battery inside the boring head, maintenance is reduced, disposal is simpler, and the tool is sealed, dust‑proof, and lubricated for life.
Your challenge: Battery‑driven tools add environmental burden, maintenance complexity, and reliability risks over time.
Our solution: A sustainable, battery‑free head paired with a rechargeable digital display delivers long‑term reliability and reduced environmental footprint. Perfectly aligned with modern production and ESG goals.
Application area
Customers face complexity, cost, and a high risk of human error when finishing high‑value components, particularly with time‑consuming manual diameter setting that demands highly skilled operators. The Digital Radial Boring Head range offers:
- Simple and intuitive diameter setting
- 1‑micron accuracy on diameter
- No influence of backlash on the displayed value
- No guesswork and significantly reduced risk of human error
You can continue to use current Graflex modules and Seco CaptoTM connections as the same insert holders are compatible across the full diameter range of 39 mm to 205 mm (1.535–8.071 in.), providing flexibility and reducing additional tooling costs.
For diameters above 205 mm (8.071’’) use the Digital Fine Boring Block.
For diameters below 39mm (1.535’’) use Axiabore, Digital Axial Fine Boring Heads.
