"Several machine tool manufacturers, including Nakamura, are transitioning over to bolt-on style turrets for their horizontal lathes because these solutions are more robust and easier to use than VDI designs," said an EXSYS Tool spokesperson. "EXSYS Tool, Inc. now offers its bolt-on mounting PRECI-FLEX Modular Tooling System for most Nakamura machines equipped with bolt-on style turrets, including the TW-10, WT-20 II M-MY, WT-150, WT-250, TW-20, WT-300, Super NTX, WTW-150, Super NTJ and more.
"EXSYS/EPPINGER manufactures its tool holders to handle deep feeds at high rates of speed. Because these tool holders feature a double tapered roller bearing configuration, they are able to handle much greater loads than tool holders with conventional ball bearings."
"The stringent engineering practices the company uses in the development of its tool holders really pays off out in the field," said Scott Leitch, Sales Manager for EXSYS. "Our quality construction standards and better bearings enable our customers to achieve longer tool life and a better return on their overall investment."
"Able to accommodate most CNC turning centers, the EXSYS/EPPINGER PRECI-FLEX features a single base holder and multiple tooling adapters that utilize the ER collet pocket, making turning center tooling changeovers quick, accurate and cost-effective," said a company spokesperson. "Furthermore, the system's compact design ensures maximum torque transmission and rigidity, resulting in increased machining accuracy and improved productivity.
"Available in a range of sizes, PRECI-FLEX offers repeatability within five microns. The system also virtually eliminates machine downtime, and allows tooling adapters to be interchanged between fixed and rotary base holders for fast, economical machining."
