SYSTEM FEATURES
The user benefits are possible due to the following functions:
Precise manufacturing tolerances are used to produce the holders
providing excellent concentricity when combined with high quality cutters.
The elimination of any type of holding mechanism, set screw, collet or
hydraulics, allows factory balancing G1 standards.
Clamping force ranging to three to seven times that of conventional
holders provides a monolithic holder/cutter combination which expands the machining
capability to the limits of the machining center spindle RPM, power and control
capability. No speed limit machining becomes reality.
The combination of tool holder/cutter rigidity, balance and grip force
allows long reach cutter configurations in order to achieve large quantities of material
removal in aluminum aircraft structural components.
The same long reach capability is
valuable in the manufacturing of molds coupled with previously unattainable surface
finishes.
Cutter life is extended in every shrink fit holder application. The
features that allow the benefits noted resulting in up to twice the useful life, thereby
reducing down time.
Improved run out and balance also increase spindle life and reduced
maintenance. |
