TOOLHOLDING SYSTEMS - POLYGONAL CLAMPING TECHNOLOGY NOW ALSO FOR DRIVEN TOOLS

WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT, THE HIGH precision SCHUNK TRIBOS polygonal clamping technology will also be used for lathes and automatic revolving transfer machines with driven tools.

SCHUNK, the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology, has developed special polygonal tool holders with ER cone for this purpose that can be combined with all commercially available mountings for ER collets and with driven tools in particular.

QUICKLY SET UP AND PRECISELY ADJUSTED

The clamping system uses the high versatility of the ER taper and combines this with the precision of polygonal clamping technology. Instead of the less precise collet chuck, the TRIBOS mounting is simply inserted into the provided tool holder and fastened using the ER clamping nut. The advantage: The tools can be preset in the TRIBOS mountings with an accuracy of 0.01 mm in length, and can be exchanged in the collet chuck in a few steps. In this way, the user benefits from fast set-up times on the one hand, and on the other hand, from considerably higher repeat accuracy in the clamping system in terms of run-out accuracy and projection length compared to ER collet chucks.
