Heat Shrink Machine
Safe, controlled induction heat from the Shrink FIT machine expands the inside diameter of the tool holder bore so the tool shank can be inserted.
Automatic air-cooling contracts the bore to hold the tool creating an extremely rigid connection between the spindle and the cutting tool.
Every component of this machine from the industrial touch-screen interface, to the motor driven transport rail, and the heavy-duty base, is designed for reliable performance and ease-of-use in demanding environments.
Interchangeable tool sleeves are easy to change when heating different taper toolholders.
Fast heating – the eddy current induces heat from the high-frequency magnetic field, for short cycle times and easy operation.
Higher efficiency – the process is timed to apply enough heat to the toolholder to remove cutting tools, without overheating.
