Heat shrink technology is a technology that enables non-detachable connections, which offers clear advantages for clamping tools. Through high-energy and high-density induction heating, tools can be changed in seconds.
Insert the cylindrical tool into the hole that expands after being heated by the heat shrink tool holder. After the tool holder cools, it will have a high radial clamping force on the tool. If done correctly, the clamping operation is reversible and can be repeated as many times as required. Clamping force is higher than any traditional clamping technology. Only heat shrink clean knives into clean tool handles.
Advantages of tool handle heat shrink technology
- Rapid heat shrinking to shorten clamping time
- High clamping force - Longer tool and spindle life due to small runout (<3 µm)
- Tool clamping system is highly rigid and achieves good surface finish
- High bending strength, radial clamping strength and stability even with long effective lengths
- Thin-wall tool holder suitable for high-speed machining
- Only the part of the tool handle is heated evenly
- Can hold carbide and HSS high speed steel tools
- Fast cooling time for tool holders and tools
- Special heat-resistant steel gives the handle a long service life and stability
