New shrink-fit toolholders for machining centers and multitask machines are available from Kennametal Inc. The shrink-fit program is split into two lines. The GP (General Purpose) line for carbide, HSS and steel shanks can be accommodated with clamping torques suitable for most general machining tasks.
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.
Schunk Inc. says its Tendo-E hydraulic expansion toolholder combines performance and value, along with enhanced runout accuracy of less than 0.005mm (0.0002") and vibration dampening.
