Horn Broaching System Streamlines Production Operations

Horn USA Inc. spotlights a line of standard tools specifically designed for AR-style magwell broaching in CNC machines. According to the company, the AR15 magwell broaching system enables manufacturers to achieve precise broaching directly within the CNC cycle, eliminating the need for a dedicated vertical broaching machine.

Integrating the broaching process into the CNC workflow is said to provide several advantages, particularly in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By performing broaching in the same machine used for other operations, manufacturers can streamline production, reduce setup times and save valuable floor space.

CNC-based broaching also enhances flexibility in production planning, enabling operators to program and control the broaching operation with precision. This method provides high-quality finishes without additional handling or part transfers. The integrated approach minimizes tool changeovers, reduces cycle times and ultimately improves productivity. With these advancements, shops can achieve consistent, repeatable results while maximizing their investment in CNC equipment.
