How to Load Milling Cutters Easily: Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Shrink Fit Machine(ST-700)

The tool holder Heat Shrink Machine is a heating device for heat shrink tool holder loading and unloading tools. Using theprinciple of metal expansion and contraction, the heat shrink machine heats the tool holder to enlarge the hole forclamping the tool, and then puts the tool in. After the temperature of the tool holder cools down, clamp the tool.

This guide will show you ​​how to use a shrink fit machine​, specifically the ST​​-700​​, to ​​get your cutters loading/unloading easily with high precision.

This equipment is suitable for heating holders of alloy steel, stainless steel and etc.
Rapid Heating: Using high frequency induction coil to generate high-frequency eddy current, to heat the holder rapidly, and improve efficiency.
Rapid Cooling: Using compressed air cooling to rapidly lower the temperature of the holder to normal
temperature.

The tool holder heat shrink machine is used in coniuncion with the Shrink Fit Tool Holder to ensure that the tool holder has a strong andstable clamping force. The heat shrink machine's heaing process is electronically controled to ensure tool change accuracy, and the return disk protection prevents the tool and tool holder from being burned. The special magnetic feld effectively reduces the tool changing time. Heating and cooling are at the same position to reduce the risk of scalding when moving the tool.  The special magnetic field has higher heating efficiency, and the heating point can be moved to the appropriate position to improve tool changing efficiency. Meiwha automatic inteligent heat shrink machines are widely used in all industries around the world, including the aerospace industry, mold manufacturing, micro processing and machining fields.
