Schaublin has been pioneering developments in high speed spindle tooling for many years and their UK agent, Floyd Automatic Tooling has been actively promoting it amongst its customers Says Richard Floyd, MD of Floyd Automatic, "With tooling and toolholders rotating at high speed, it is vital that they are accurately manufactured to minimise any out of balance forces
Schaublin are expert in this.
More recently, the hollow type HSK toolholders have been instrumental in achieving higher speeds (typically up to 45,000 rpm) with their more compact lighter weight design." "While it is possible to think that you have reached a limit in any development, I suppose the next stage will need to include the manufacture of toolholders from higher strength materials to reduce weight even further and permit even higher speeds.".
