“MODUL” is a tool holding system developed for handling of tools in machining
centers.
In its split-design version “MODUL” consists of three group component parts:
Basic holders and draw-bars
Intermediate parts: extension, reduction and expansion parts
The split-design tool holding system is manufactured in three with 50, 63 and
80 mm coupling diameters. Sizes 63 and 80 are interchangeable.
The coupling system corresponds to the requirements for versatility, good stability,
small radial run-out, as for cutting fluid supply through the tool.
HIGH FLEXIBILITY
The split-design tool holding system allows quick adaptation of the tool sets
depending on the specific needs and type of machining required.
All component parts, with the basic holder excluded, can be mounted on any type
of machine without considering the spindle taper or ATC design.
The high versatility is achieved through the use of a wide variety of intermediate
parts and cutting tool adapters.
HIGH STABILITY AND SMALL RADIAL RUN – OUT
Connecting different component parts together is performed by means of a guiding
stub which centers across two diameters simultaneously.
Tanks to the close tolerances between the parts involved, the total radial run-out
can be kept to a minimum.
Parts are connected by means of a large, robust screw.
This makes the system suitable for roughing, as well as for finishing operations.
CUTTING EDGE ANGULAR POSITIONING
When the exact hole is being bored the cutting edge must
be offset from the machined surface. It is therefore important to know its angular
positioning. Since the separate parts are coupled only with a single driving
dog, incorrect mounting is impossible and the exact position of the cutting
edge is always known.
CUTTING FLUID SUPPLY THROUGH TOOL
The system, being furnished with central through-holes, drilled
in the draw-bar and connecting screw, allows cutting fluid supply to the cutting
area itself through the tool.
ECONOMY
Using such split-design tool holding system offers
substantial economical advantages to its Customers. From one side, the number
of parts, needed to machine several workpieces is smaller, which means – cheaper.
On the other side, when change of production program occurs, the same tool set
can be adapted. Therefore no additional costs are needed for buying new toolholders.
And finally, in case new equipment is acquired, only new basic holders and draw-bars
should be added to correspond to its requirements. All other component parts
are employed on these new machines.
