Sales Engineer Emily Brunnschweiler provides an overview of the products featured at the ZOLLER Inc. booth during Eastec 2023. On display were the »pomBasic« inspection solution, the »genius« universal measuring system, the »smile 420« tool presetter, the »toolBalancer 550«, the »powerShrink 600«, the »redomatic 400« heat-shrink presetter,  as well as a variety of toolholders and tool management solutions.

6061 Aluminium Shaft Collars

The aluminium collars are much easier to machine compared to steel. This more readily enables customization, a requirement if the collar needs to fit specific shaft designs or dimensions, either for retrofit or new machine builds. Along with this capability, aluminium shares a similar anti-corrosion performance to stainless steel, ensuring increased durability.

MaxiLock-N Turning Tool Holders

To avoid interference with workpiece contours, the lengths of DirectCooling Series holders are ideally matched to one another and offer optimal stability and unlimited flexibility. This flexibility is further enhanced with an HSK-T universal standard interface for turning tools that ensures straightforward connection to multifunction machines such as turning/milling centers and milling/turning centers.

Improve stability, accuracy in rotating tools applications when applied to Swiss-type and multitasking machines

An excellent way to improve stability and accuracy in rotating tools applications when applied to Swiss-type and multitasking machines is to improve clamping stability by use of integral collets. What is an integral collet? An integral collet is a tool with a tapered shank for direct mounting on ER collet chucks. When compared to a typical spring collet clamp, the integral collet provides better accuracy and higher rigidity. This feature makes integral collets very promising for use in Multitasking and Swiss-type machines. Iscar offers several tool families with integral collets.

Shaft Collars

Also known as set collars, shaft collars are used to clamp and position components to a shaft, such as tools, fittings, or machinery and transmission including bearings, gearboxes and motors. WDS’ new inch-size shaft-collars are based on the company’s original metric design but with dimensions to suit OEMs and end users based in North America, as well as machine builders shipping to the North American market.
