OSG Tap & Die Inc. has expanded the HY-PRO Holder series. OSG's highly accurate, high grip Shrink Fit Holders are engineered for high-speed and precision applications. OSG also offers a full lineup of collet chucks with vibration dampening features, allowing better protection to the machines, spindles and tools.
The expanded lineup also includes the HY-PRO Balancing Machine, a modular balancing system specially designed for tool holders and grinding wheels. The HY-PRO Balancing Machine allows manufacturers to maximize the potential of their machining tools due to higher RPMs, higher cutting capacity and better surface finish. Engineered with state-of the-art technology, calibration can be completed quickly and accurately.
Related Glossary Terms
- calibration
calibration
Checking measuring instruments and devices against a master set to ensure that, over time, they have remained dimensionally stable and nominally accurate.
- collet
collet
Flexible-sided device that secures a tool or workpiece. Similar in function to a chuck, but can accommodate only a narrow size range. Typically provides greater gripping force and precision than a chuck. See chuck.
- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
- tap
tap
Cylindrical tool that cuts internal threads and has flutes to remove chips and carry tapping fluid to the point of cut. Normally used on a drill press or tapping machine but also may be operated manually. See tapping.
