When the Tool Holder is not in use, it should be wiped clean and sprayed with a light coating with anti-rust properties. When the Tool Holder is put back into use, the "oil" should be wiped off before use. The correct concentration of coolant should be used, which not only has a cooling effect during the cutting process, but also prevents rust on the tool handle.
Since the Tool Holder is made of metal, it can rust or develop small pits if not handled properly. If a worn or damaged tool holder is still running on a good quality spindle, it will cause premature failure of the spindle.
The spindle rivet is a key accessory that maintains the connection between the spindle and the Tool Holder. If there is a problem, the Tool Holder will fly out of the spindle. Some spindle pull studs are hollow to allow coolant to flow through the tool holder. When in use, a clamping mechanism within the spindle pulls it in, keeping the Tool Holder on the spindle. Spindle rivets need to be checked regularly for signs of wear, cracks or other damage. Defective spindle rivets need to be replaced, otherwise they will be dangerous.
In order to ensure the performance of the Tool Holder, the overall environment must be kept clean. Tool Holder needs to work within a micron tolerance range. Any dirt, dust, oil, chips or other contaminants remaining on the spindle, Tool Holder taper and front clamping system will cause poor T.I.R. (radial runout), resulting in Premature wear of cutting tools, tool holders and machine tool spindles. It is recommended to perform regular preventive maintenance, including regular cleaning and inspection of the machine tool spindle and Tool Holder, which will help improve processing performance.
It is also recommended to perform regular inspections on the T.I.R. of the Tool Holder assembly to verify whether the Tool Holder is worn. Proper assembly of the Tool Holder assembly using specific tool assembly equipment is required to maintain safety on the production floor and prevent premature damage to cutting tools. Proper maintenance and use of Tool Holder is the most cost-effective way to improve machine tool productivity, reduce downtime and reduce the number of unqualified workpieces. Although the Tool Holder cost only accounts for a small part of the processing cost, it has a great impact on productivity and cost-effectiveness.
