Toolholding Systems for CNC

Accurate Toolholding, professionally configured to match the user’s requirements, is probably the most important single item in the quest for optimum machining profitability.

Maximized machining speeds and perfect finishes cannot be achieved without due attention being paid to this. There are many different types and configurations of toolholders (chucks) and related equipment.

We stock the largest and most comprehensive range in NZ.

Our range includes:

• Collet Chucks
• Shrink Fit Chucks(Heat Activated)
• Tribos Shrink Fit Chucks (Mechanical)
• Tendo Hydraulic Chucks
• Extension Arbors
• Standard Precision Collets
• Ultra Precision Collets
• Opticlamp Toolholder vises
• Optiset Tool measurement systems

The importance of accurate tool holding cannot be understated. However, the industry at large seems to remain somewhat oblivious to the direct connection of correct toolholding with profitability; and conversely, the huge current and ongoing costs incurred by ignoring the effects of even minimal amounts (0.005mm) of run out.
