3. Reduced worn tool indexing time
- Driven tool holders
- Solid carbide (5 mins)
every time a solid carbide tool is changed the tool offset needs
to be re-calibrated.
- Indexible drill/mill (5 mins)
with multiple inserts to use sister tool and change the cutter off
line whilst the machine is running is much quicker.
- Static tool holders
- For single inserts with good accessibility it can go as quick to
change directly in the machine. However being able to remove
the tool ensures.
- Improved maintenance of the tool.
- Correct mounting.
- No stoppages due to visit to stores for spare parts (dropped
screw, broken shim).
2. Increased number of tool positions with double tool holders
When the machine has one or more of the following options:
- Y axis
- Half turret
- Sub spindle
Turning centers with driven tool holders often have limited space
- using double clamping units allows either sister tooling or
increased variety of tools thereby reducing tool change require-
ment for a wider range of components.
