A modular tooling system for multi-spindle automatics is available, including the latest models for Davenport machines. Besides being more rigid than dovetail form tools, the modular system allows for much faster tool changes, the company says. This system consists of a modular insert holder assembly and a cross-slide holder assembly, offered in both up-cut and down-cut versions.

The new collet chuck-style broach toolholders are said to be versatile because they use ER-style collets, which are designed to reduce the three-screw method of centering the HSS broach in the broach toolholder. The ER-style collet will hold virtually any diameter shank broach tool in the holder within the range of the collet. A built-in stop screw allows the operator to adjust for different length broaches and to compensate for different lengths on re-sharpened broaches.

The company’s mobile chip conveyor allows shops with auger chip processing machine tools to use large chip bins or 55-gallon drums instead of small chip cans. This unit can be rolled around the shop to assist with higher-production auger fed chip loads. It uses standard 110-volt power and has an efficient variable-speed drive.
Read MorePrecision Workholding Systems
Lang Technovation’s Vario Tec variable support system is said to minimize setup time. According to the company, virtually all common vices can be retrofitted with this system, and workpieces can be set in different positions on pins to eliminate the need for parallels. The company also offers the Quick Point zero-point clamping system, which has a pull-down force of 13.
Read MoreHigh Velocity Coolant Delivered To Cutting Edge
Jetstream Tooling is a range of high performance tools designed to deliver coolant directly at the insert cutting edge for productivity gains. According to the company, this tooling controls chips and extends tool life. Cutting speed and feed rates are increased across virtually all coolant pressures (from 70 psi to 5,000 psi) and many material types—specifically titanium alloys, but also nickel-chromium, aluminum, steel alloys and stainless steels.
