HAIMER’s 2021 Technological Advancements
Maintaining the technological edge of HAIMER products is very important to the company, so much so that HAIMER invests between 8% and 10% of revenue back into research and development. This was a big year of technological advancements at HAIMER so below is a quick recap of what was released.
Duo-Lock ER and Shrink Fit Collets
Duo-Lock, HAIMER’s modular cutting tool system, maximizes a carbide tool’s productivity in both roughing and finishing applications. It provides high load capacity and rigidity when machining at high metal removal rates. The new Duo-Lock ER collets allows for quick tool changes in Turning machines and Live-Driven tools with great z-axis repeatability. Tool changes happen within 30 seconds, which reduces the amount of downtime of the machine. With the HAIMER Shrink Fit ER Collets, machinists can start immediately making good parts. No in-machine presetting is needed once it is inserted because it can be done outside the machine on the HAIMER Power Clamp Air i4.0 with Preset.
Power Clamp Air i4.0 and Nano NG i4.0
HAIMER recently debuted two new Power Clamp shrink fit machines to the market: the compact Power Clamp Air i4.0 and the Nano NG i4.0. Both are true specialists in their particular applications. The Power Clamp Air i4.0 enables a particularly even and clean cooling for all kinds of shrink fit chucks and shrink fit collets, regardless of the outside contour, by air nozzles – without dirt and water residue. The Power Clamp Nano NG i4.0 was specially developed for shrink fit collets and small tool holders up to size HSK-A63. The shrinking process is horizontal, with a fully automated motor coil and air-cooling.
Steep Taper Chucks with Face Contact
HAIMER now offers all steep taper chucks with face contact, which provide higher stability due to additional support at the flange face. Already available in stock are shrink fit chucks and power collet or high precision collet chucks with face contact for the BT30, BT40 and BT50 interfaces.
