Toolholders & Workholding

To keep up with the growing demands of the industry, HEIDENHAIN has increased the functionality of its PROFIBUS rotary encoders.

J.W. Winco Inc. now offers series AN 5672 Clamping Heads for Clamping Knobs or Screws, in metric and inch sizes.

To meet the ever increasing demands of ultra precision parts manufacturing, IBAG North America has introduced a micro collet system that delivers accuracies of oneµm T.I.R at the collet nose and handles up to 1⁄8" tool diameter.

Heimatec announces immediate availability of its newest development, the HT Series quick-change tool adapter system.

Rush Machinery Inc. offers a series of airbearing end mill grinding fixtures that allow precision sharpening of end mills, reamers, shell mills and other cutters.

If you've been using fixtures to grip parts on your rotary device, you already know how much operator intervention is required for setting up, clamping and locating the part, and changing from one job to another. And let's not forget about the design time and machining involved to produce the fixture itself.

The recently introduced, Puma 3100 turning center brings new levels of speed, convenience, precision and performance to Doosan's family of high-power, horizontal turning centers.

SCHUNK presents PRISMO, the new holder for automated tool and cutter grinding. Unique features are the ability to clamp diameters between five and 20mm, without additional components or time-consuming changeovers, and high repeat accuracies of less than 0.005mm.

Eliminate regrind bills and save money, reduce your tool crib inventory and save more money with tool resharpener from Conquest Industries.

ISCAR's new perpendicular toolholder makes it easier to fit PENTACUT 24 grooving and parting tools into overcrowded turrets in high-volume turning operations.

For larger, heavier work pieces, requiring beefier locating and clamping hardware, STEVENS Engineering Inc. offers its heavy-duty workholding system.

A high quality collet is desirable when it comes to precision machining of small parts for the medical and aerospace industries. For a quality part that meets high-precision specifications, you need a burr-free collet with guaranteed concentricity. This collet would be finish ground to provide a smooth and concentric gripping area (order hole) for the bar stock or work piece.
