Toolholders

Rego-Fix highlights Secure Grip features

Developed for the world’s most intensive cutting applications, Secure Grip is an easy to use system that locks the collet and cutter into the holder.

Cool Flash System

Overheated cutting edges cause chip welding, tool chipping and ultimately decreased tool life. To compensate, operators frequently reduce spindle speeds or increase their consumption of cutting tools. Both options prove inefficient, as machining takes longer and the expense of constantly replacing dull tools can drain your bank account. The HAIMER Cool Flash system, based on the existing Cool Jet system for shrink-fit holders, was designed to guarantee an optimal coolant supply, even at the highest spindle speed, according to the company.

Toolholders Made with Toolox 44

International Mold Steel Inc. announced the results of a study that showed reduced vibration with Toolox 44 (made by SSAB) toolholders. A recent study conducted at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology of Sweden, compared Toolox 44 with conventional tool steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium.

Quick-Change Polygon Threading Toolholders

Carmexʼs quick-change polygon threading toolholders enable customers whose machines are equipped with the Sandvik Capto system to utilize Carmexʼs threading inserts. Incorporating a polygon taper to ensure automatic radial centering and even pressure around the coupling, the toolholders are ISO standard (26623) compliant for toolholding systems.

Light Series Evolution Line Angle Heads

Parlec Inc. says its new Light series Evolution line angle heads are an ideal solution for small machine tools. The aluminum body design and tapered, conical positioning pin provide uncomplicated spindle installation for ease of use, every time.

GY-PSC Toolholders

Mitsubishi Materials announces an expansion to the GY series with its GY-PSC type holders.

Boring Bar, Turning and Blade Toolholders

To maximize the full benefit of recent advances in machine tool designs, Chevin Tools Inc. has developed a new range of boring bar, turning and blade toolholders (parting and grooving applications). Delivering high-pressure coolant directly through the cutting tip of static tools enables significant improvements in cutting efficiency and improves production.
