EXSYS to Display at Northwest Machine Tool Expo 2015

EXSYS Tool, Inc. will feature a range of manufacturing technologies from EPPINGER at the Northwest Machine Tool Expo in Portland, OR on April 1-2. On display will be the Compacto C3, C4, C5 and C6 base holder, a full range of gear boxes and the PRECI-FLEX modular quick-change tooling system.

"The Compacto C3, C4, C5 and C6 base holder is designed to enhance the efficiency and productivity of CNC turning machines. The compact size of Compacto provides more space for machining in tight workspaces and offers improved torque transmission and rigidity for increased tool accuracy. The holder's polygon shape connection (PSC), which is the shortest PSC interface in the industry, further adds to its high precision and stability," said a company spokesperson.

According to the company, a built-in release mechanism on the outer diameter of the base holder's spindle provides operator accessibility. Operators can lock and unlock adapters with a small Allen key for fast tool changes. The automatic ejection feature of the adapters is designed for speed and efficiency of tool exchanges.

Available for bolt-on and VDI-style turrets, the Compacto connection base holder accommodates fixed and rotary tools, including the PRECI-FLEX system, and accepts all standard PSC adapters. Adapters used in milling applications now work in turning operations.

Show attendees will also see EPPINGER's new line of gear boxes and high precision gear technology.

• Bevel gear boxes - a series of compact gear boxes offering high torque at maximum efficiency for all gear applications

• Hypoid gear boxes - designed for specific and dynamic applications with a specially developed mono-bloc housing for stability, precision and efficiency

• Planetary gear boxes - modular design and combination of hardened and ground gears with high precision gear box components

• Cycloidal gear boxes - compact and rigid cycloidal precision gear boxes designed for drive technology, especially in tool machinery, automation and robotics

• Customized gear boxes - specially designed to meet customers' requirements

• High precision gear technology - spiral, hypoid and Zerol gears manufactured with GLEASON gear technology.

EXSYS will also showcase the PRECI-FLEX modular quick-change tooling system, which features a selection of adapters engineered to hold different cutting tool and shank designs. The adapters' common connecting feature locks into a standard base unit on the machine turret, enabling tool/adapter assemblies to be preset offline then quickly switch in and out of the base unit. Tool positions repeat within +/- 3 µm, eliminating the need to re-center, touch off, or make test cuts.

"The PRECI-FLEX conical and flat-face planar interface duplicates the taper of the standard ER collet. This enables ER collets, albeit at lesser repeatability, to be used along with PRECI-FLEX adapters to mount collets, endmill holders, expanding collet chucks and shrink-fit tooling on a single-base holder. Operated at the front face of the turret, the connector provides two tons of clamping force and its compact design maximizes torque transmission and rigidity, increasing accuracy and productivity," said the spokesperson.
