Drawbar Clamping Force Gauges, Wired

Tool clamping force is often never measured after a machine is put into service. Regular verification allows problems to be detected early so maintenance and repairs can be scheduled. As a result, emergencies and unexpected downtime can be avoided. When troubleshooting, drawbar performance can quickly be verified.

Drawbar Clamping Measuring Bars

This critical performance -- the tool clamping force -- is often never measured after a machine is put into service. Regular verification allows problems to be detected early so maintenance and repairs can be scheduled. As a result, emergencies and unexpected downtime can be avoided. When troubleshooting, drawbar performance can quickly be verified.

Drawbar Stroke Verification Gauges

Prevents gripper failures, spindle and tool holder taper damage, and "stuck" tool holders.

Steep Taper Adapter Knob Kits

Retention plug kits include all standard knob configurations for using CAT40 or DIN40 gauge taper with CAT/DIN/BT spindles.

Machine-Integrated Drawbar Force Gauges

The machine-integrated drawbar force gauge automates drawbar force measurement. With a wireless force sensor stored in the tool changer, a machine can periodically automatically check the drawbar without stopping production. Drawbar force is returned to the machine control via a wireless receiver, automatically alerting the operator if insufficient force is detected.

Tool Taper Cleaning Machines

Keep precision at the spindle interface by keeping tool holders clean: The required cleaning unit is simply placed on the drive unit and the taper cleaning device is immediately ready for use.

HSK Implementation

Cooperation between machine builder, tool holder manufacturer, and end-user assures process quality.

Cooling Filtration Systems

Cooling Filtration Systems are designed for automatic purification cleaning and temperature equilibration of cooling lubricants. They are used in honing, grinding and glass grinding machines and in tempering and washing plants etc.

Steep Taper Tool Changer Alignment Gauge Instruction Manual

The tool changer alignment gauge is designed to verify correct alignment of the machine spindle to the tool changer. See PDF for full instruction manual.
