Toolholders

Several machine tool manufacturers, including Nakamura, are transitioning over to bolt-on style turrets for their horizontal lathes because these solutions are more robust and easier to use than VDI designs. In response, EXSYS Tool Inc. is introducing a new bolt-on mounting PRECI-FLEX Modular Tooling System for most Nakamura machines equipped with bolt-on style turrets.

Emuge Corp. has introduced the KSN5 and KSN6 Softsynchro tap holders.

Seco Tools Inc. has expanded its versatile MDT (Multi-Directional Turning) system with hundreds of new holders to accommodate a broader range of standard and special machining applications.

Briney Tooling Systems' Thermax II is a compact induction heating unit for shrink-fit toolholders. It is suitable for inserting and removing HSS and carbide cutting tools from any design of shrink-fit toolholders, such as ANSI and DIN.
