Precision machine tools paired with advanced cutting tools provide outstanding metal cutting productivity. The tool holder, as the critical interface between the cutting tool and the machine tool spindle, is critical to achieving high productivity. Tool manufacturers offer a variety of toolholder types, each designed to perform optimally in specific machining applications. Therefore, a shop should choose a tool holder based on its specific process and the parts it produces. However, while shops want to use the most advanced machine tool technology and cutting tool materials, they often don’t pay much attention to the selection, application and maintenance of the holder that best suits their specific production needs.

The spindle taper holes of machining centers are usually divided into two categories, namely the general system with a taper of 7:24 and the HSK vacuum system with a taper of 1:10. 1.7:24 Taper Universal Tool Holder Universal tool holders with a taper of 7:24 are generally available in five standards and sizes, namely NT (traditional), DIN 69871 (German standard), IS0 7388/1 (international standard), MAS BT (Japanese standard) and ANSI/ASME (American standard). The German standard of the NT type tool holder is DIN 2080. The tool holder is tightened by a pull rod on a traditional machine tool. It is also called ST in China; the other four tool holders Read more

Gear mold laser surface strengthening technology refers to the use of high-energy density laser beams and coatings, or cladding materials to treat the surface of gears or molds in a numerically controlled environment to change the structure or composition of the surface layer to achieve surface phase change strengthening or Enhanced repair techniques. The phase change strengthening process has the advantages of good surface quality, and can control the hardness and the depth of the strengthening layer according to different materials, heat capacity of the workpiece, and different laser processing parameters. The technical factors that affect the strengthening effect in the traditional heat treatment process have changed a lot in Read more

How To Anodize Aluminum?The process of using aluminum or aluminum alloy products as anodes, placing them in an electrolyte solution for electrification treatment, and using electrolysis to form an aluminum oxide film on the surface is called anodizing treatment of aluminum and aluminum alloys. After anodic oxidation, an oxide film of several micrometers—hundreds of micrometers can be formed on the surface of aluminum. Compared with the natural oxide film of aluminum alloy, its corrosion resistance, wear resistance and decoration are obviously improved and improved. The principle of aluminum anodization is essentially the principle of water electrolysis. When the current is passed, the following reactions will take place: At the cathode, Read more
