MAPAL to Utilize HAIMER's Patented Safe-Lock Technology

HAIMER and MAPAL have reached a partnership and licensing agreement where MAPAL will begin offering selected cutting tools for high-performance machining with the Safe-Lock pull-out protection system from HAIMER. This will offer users greater protection against tools being pulled out of the chuck during machining operations, and prevent damage to workpieces or to the machine itself.

"The Safe-Lock system has proven itself both in the market and during our in-house trials," said Dr. Jochen Kress, MAPAL Senior Management. "Consequently, we have decided to use this leading system."

"It is frequently used for modern machining strategies. With Safe-Lock, the productivity and tool life can be significantly increased," said Andreas Haimer, Managing Director and President of the HAIMER Group.

"When it comes to high-speed cutting, absolute safety is especially crucial," said a HAIMER spokesperson. "Considering the high value of the single workpiece or an unmanned production, scrap parts and machine downtime have to be avoided in order to guarantee process reliability. Through special drive keys in the toolholder and grooves in the cutting tool shank, the Safe-Lock system ensures high accuracy frictional clamping with the security of a form fit between grooves on the cutting tool and the drive keys in the chuck. This prevents the cutting tool from turning or being pulled out of the chuck during machining."

As a second step in this partnership, MAPAL hydraulic chucks will follow and also be designed for this type of pull-out protection.
