Hard on The Outside, Intelligent in the Inside - High-Performance-Cutting

From SCHUNK Inc.
 

 

A lot of chips in a short time: if you want improved costs, quality and times when it comes to high-performance cutting, you would do well to use toolholders that are sturdy and can do more than just the basics ...

In high-performance cutting (HPC), toolholders have to stand their ground whilst simultaneously putting up with quite a lot. Although pure powerhouses can achieve the necessary chip volumes, they often affect the tool's cutting edges, the spindles and the workpiece surfaces. Users do significantly better with robust precision toolholders that also provide a generous dose of intelligence with their strength. In addition to perfect run-out, other vital requirements are strong rigidity and vibration dampening that is as pronounced as possible. This makes it possible to achieve large chipping rates and brilliant surfaces with minimal tool wear.
