Heat Shrink Tool Holding System Features

Click to Enlarge [+]

Available in Standard, Extended and Extra Extended.

  • Improved concentricity
  • Improved balance design with no moving pieces
  • Low Centrifugal Forces due to low holder mass
  • For maximum gripping power with exceptional concentricity.
  • Concentricity of ≤.0001” with tool shrunk in holder.
  • Chip load distributed evenly along cutting edge of tool which results in longer tool life.
  • Constructed of double tempered Tool Steel for exceptional durability and cycle life. With proper use, toolholder life should exceed that of standard end mill holders.
  • Tool is gripped 360° along the entire length of bore resulting in an evenly distributed clamping force.
  • Short projections are possible because no mechanical clamping devices are used. This results in greater rigidity and resistance to bending.
  • Simple and fast to use. The total time elapsed to remove one cutting tool and insert another is less than 10 seconds.
  • Through-spindle coolant capability.
  • Coolant through holders require no special backup screws or seals. The interference fit between the ID of the tool holder and cutting tool shank forms the seal, preventing the coolant from flowing anywhere else except through the coolant grooves. The use of Heat Shrink Tooling allows for greater speeds and feeds, better finishes, increased tool life, and increased productivity due to its High Speed Machining capability and simplicity of use.
