Broaching Machines
Apex is highly experienced in analyzing the machining needs of your part and recommending the proper broaching machine system. Broaching is done on a variety of equipment styles and equipment sizes depending on your part application. Quite often systems are recommended based on a family of similar parts.
Broaching machines are sized by tonnage and stroke, in general the more material being removed from the part and greater the size of the part the greater the tonnage and stroke required. For example, a horizontal style broaching machine can be between 6 tons and 50 tons of force and 48” to 120” of stroke
Apex Broaching Systems offers a full lineup of broaching machine sizes and styles:
Sizes:
- Stroke – from 12””to 120″
- Tonnage – from 1 to 50 tons
The proper broaching machine system is determined by first analyzing your part. Our engineers will need the following to begin:
- Part print with all dimensions and tolerances before and after broaching
- Material type (casting, forging, rolled stock etc.)
- Hardness of the material when broached
- Heat treatment both before and after broaching
- Machining operations that precede and follow the broaching operation on all surfaces
- Surface that will be used to locate for the broaching operation
- Maximum stock that will be removed by broaching
- Finish required after broaching
- Production volume and rate required for your part
- Number of parts to be broached in a single pass
- Any existing broach tool drawing
- Any floor space limitations for the broaching machine
- Delivery destination
Once these basic requirements are understood our engineers can size the broaching system to your particular application.
Styles of Broaching Machines
Our horizontal broaching machines are capable of handling a wide array of part applications such as internal splines, rifling, and keyways, with sizes ranging from 6 to 50 tons and strokes from 48" to 120". These machines provide several advantages, including floor-level operation, no need for a platform or pit, adaptable for CNC or Rack and Pinion movements....
Apex Broaching Systems offers a versatile range of Vertical Broaching Machines designed for high performance and precision in a wide array of part applications, including internal and external splines, rifling, and various forms and holes. Their Vertical Table-Up Broaching Machines feature floor-level operation with automatic tool handling and helical operation capabilities, ideal for high-rate cell manufacturing. Meanwhile, the Apex Surface Broaching Machines, available in both single and multi...
Blind Spline Broaching Machines are designed for precision in creating internal or external splines that terminate at a shoulder, rather than passing through the entire part. These machines utilize progressive broach tooling on a linear or rotating table for efficient, automatic loading and broaching of parts under a single vertical ram, enabling simultaneous machining of internal and external splines. Optimized for high production rates, Blind Spline Broaching surpasses traditional gear shaping...
The refurbishment process includes restoring all machining and qualifying surfaces to their original flat and square conditions, alongside refurbishing or replacing key components like the main motor, hydraulic power unit, and main slide. This process also involves machining or replacing ways, rebuilding or replacing the coolant and lube systems, updating the electrical system with new controls, and applying a fresh coat of industrial enamel paint. The refurbishment concludes with a comprehensiv...
