Expanded Slitting Saw and Milling Toolholder Line
July 1, 2015
GenSwiss has added ER 11 and 20 collet holders to the Ti-Loc SwissClamp slitting and milling toolholder line. "Ti-Loc provides increased rigidity, higher quality and longer tool life and enables quick change of tooling into fixed locations," said a company spokesperson.
Designed to direct mount to any ER 11, 16 and 20 collet holder using standard ER nuts, the taper integrated Ti-Loc toolholders extend micro endmills closer to the workpiece and eliminate inaccuracies caused by tolerance stacking, according to the company. Typical TIR is held to .0002" or better. All mating surfaces are precision ground.
According to Jim Gosselin, GenSwiss Founder and President, "The Ti-Loc taper integrated design eliminates a collet and allows the operator to pre-set tool length out of the machine. For both sawing and milling, repeatable positioning and increased rigidity are a given. For example, the endmill extension holder permits extended reach in tight spaces without the need to hang a small diameter endmill out, causing chatter or tool life issues due to lack of rigidity. Overall, the design concept simplifies the tooling through fewer components."
Arbors are available for 5 mm, 8 mm, 1/4" and 5/16" I.D. saws with more sizes in development. Micro Endmills Extensions will be available to hold 3 mm, 4 mm, 1/8" and 3/16" shanks with more sizes in development.
Installation simply requires a twist and snap into any ER clamping nut. No special holding nut is required. The quick change is accomplished by loosening the clamping nut and allowing the toolholder to break from the locking taper of the spindle or sleeve.
