When it comes to dialing in an ER system’s performance to match a specific application’s requirements or long life, there are three components to consider: the collet, the body of the holder and the nut.
A pilot or spot drill, also known as a starter drill, is typically required when the succeeding drill is longer than 10xD or smaller than Ø 1.00 mm. Starter drills can also be used to improve hole location due to their short, rigid geometries.
The Lollipop cutter from SPHINX is the newest addition to its end mill cutter lineup. It is ideal for machining undercuts, deburring and multi-axis machining.
Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.
TAG90 center-through coolant angle heads deliver coolant directly from the machine spindle to the cutting edge, without passing through the stop block.
