The first challenge to machinability – beyond simply working in titanium – for Colorado-based Cogitic Corporation was securing the cylinder in the universal machining center. It was also important to maintain access to the through-hole, which has an internal square key slot perpendicular to the stem hole.
Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.
Many factors may go into the decision to invest in a presetter such as tool budget, accuracy needs or delivery time. We’ve put together a reference guide.
Pullout is a major issue facing manufacturers using milling chucks, especially when machining heat-resistant super alloys (HRSA) like titanium or inconel
