High Performance Toolholder for Micro Machining



SCHUNK is offering the TRIBOS-RM precision toolholder for micro machining with the ISO interface. The one-piece, rotationally symmetric design is intended to help ensure long life of the machine spindles and the complete transmission of power, according to the company.

"Compared with heat shrink clamping, the TRIBOS-RM scores full points with steady tool clamping that will not distort the toolholder," said a company spokesperson. "The user will benefit from a precise run-out accuracy of less than 0.003 mm, which is perfect with small tools for micro machining."

The TRIBOS-RM is designed for high spindle speeds of up to 60,000 RPM in high-speed cutting, making it useful for the high speeds involved in micro machining. Sizes ISO 10 D 1 - 6 mm are available. The balancing grade is G 2.5 at 25,000 RPM.
