Camshaft Boring
Precision is crucial when boring camshaft bearings to ensure that the engine’s valve train operates correctly.
Rigibore’s reliable solution for consistent accuracy in camshaft bores is to use custom designed boring bars fitted with a unique Smartbore FAS (Fine adjusting slide) assembly.
Tool Design & Process
Our camshaft solution comprises two tools. A short tool to semi-finish and finish the first journal and a line boring bar to machine the remaining journals.
Rigibore’s camshaft solution
Tool One
A short tool with a semi-finish cartridge and a Smartbore FAS (Fine Adjusting Slide) Assembly.
Tool One is used to machine the first journal which acts as support for the line bar.
Tool Two
A line bar with three semi-finish cartridges at the front of the tool and a Smartbore FAS (Fine Adjusting Slide) assembly for finishing.
A semi-finish cut is made first and the carbide pad engages with the first journal.
Before the finishing cut starts finish boring the second journal, the guide pad engages with the first journal. This process is repeated for all journals.
