In modern manufacturing, precise and efficient processes directly influence quality and cost-effectiveness. The ideal tool is indispensable, especially in bore machining, but the selection process is often time-consuming and complex.
This is because many different factors need to be considered. What are the technical requirements for the desired result? Is simply removing the burr sufficient, or is countersinking required? What are the dimensions of the bore and the desired result? Which material needs to be machined? Having to fight your way through data sheets wastes valuable time. What is needed is a quick and reliable way to find the ideal application-specific solution.
The web-based HEULE Tool Selector guides users step by step to the perfect solution - intuitively and reliably in a modern and clear design. Developed based on many years of practical experience, the Tool Selector represents the complete standard range of HEULE tool solutions.
By entering specific application data into a clearly structured and visually appealing web interface, users are guided quickly and efficiently to the optimal deburring solution. An intuitive and user-friendly navigation system leads them step by step through the Tool Selector.
1. Select the machining operation
Initially, the user selects one of the following technologies: deburring, chamfering, counterboring or drilling combined. This initial choice filters the range of suitable tools.
2. Select tool family & define parameters
Based on the selected machining type, the Tool Selector presents all suitable HEULE tool solutions. The user then inputs application specific data, such as drilling and deburring diameters, workpiece height, edges to be machined, workpiece specifications, and material. This information is used to generate an application-specific recommendation.
3. Selection result
Based on the data entered, the Tool Selector suggests the most appropriate HEULE deburring solution and presents all relevant information in a compact format - from dimensions and cutting values to programming instructions. A special advantage: The suggested solution can be saved as a one-page PDF or printed, making it immediately available to the user.
4. Direct line to HEULE experts
If the proposed solution requires further clarification or ordering, we recommend direct dialogue with a HEULE expert. Users can submit enquiries to the HEULE team via the Tool Selector and upload their own drawings or 3D models. As a globally recognised deburring specialist, HEULE is pleased to offer personalised support.
Thanks to its clear, step-by-step structure, the Tool Selector enables users to quickly find the right deburring solution – simple, targeted and individualised.
Users benefit from considerable time savings: the most suitable deburring solution from the entire HEULE standard product portfolio is determined in just a few minutes based on the application specific parameters. Another advantage is the user-friendly operation. The intuitive interface and clear, modern layout speak for themselves. No expert knowledge is required to use the application, making the Tool Selector ideal for beginners in this field. Once the selection process is complete, the user receives all the relevant data on the recommended tool solution in a concise PDF.
In the long term, users benefit from integrating the perfect deburring solution into their machining process, thanks to the Tool Selector's recommendations. This enhances process reliability by significantly reducing errors and the need for rework. As a result, users can also improve cost efficiency – for example, by reducing waste.
The HEULE Tool Selector provides an overview of the standard range of deburring solutions. If a special solution is required, users also have the option to contact HEULE experts directly to develop a tailored deburring solution together. Customer-specific solutions are created in close collaboration and extend the offering beyond the standard product range.
In today’s manufacturing environment, achieving cost-efficiency requires both precision and efficiency – and the first step towards this is selecting the right tool quickly and accurately.
A user wants to deburr the 10.4 mm bore of a steel pipe.
Step 1: Select the machining type «deburring».
Step 2: Choose the COFA tool family (front and back deburring from Ø 2mm), and enter the relevant parameters, including: Bore-Ø: 10,4 mm, deburring-Ø: 11,6 mm, workpiece height (bore depth): 8,15 mm), machining: deburring on both sides, Surface: uneven surface, inner-Ø: 22 mm, centre offset: 0 mm. Based on this input, the Tool Selector automatically calculates a blade clearance angle of 15.9°, which is crucial for deburring on the pipe. Material: Steel with medium to high carbon content.
Step 3: The Tool Selector recommends the appropriate solution: COFA C8/10.4/H and a blade with 20° clearance angle. It also displays cutting data and programming guidance.
Step 4: Download the PDF and/or request expert advice – done.
