UK debuts include Gewefa’s M96 ER hydraulic collet chuck securing concept and a new range of modular angle heads from Pibomulti. Also on presentation will be EWS's quick-change Varia toolholding system, the Power Check pull-force gauge and accessories from Ott-Jakob, a range of Simon Nann's standard collet chucks as well as a selection of universal heat-shrink clamping machines from Rineck. As an expansion of the Power Check pull-force gauge, Ott-Jakob now offers a Mark III version of the unit that provides readings remotely via a handset, enabling the automated checking of the spindle pull-back force. According to the company, the Power Check unit is an invaluable part of machine shop maintenance programmes, which enables accurate spindle-force readings quickly and with high precision. It can thus prevent spindle failure and also detect problems that can lead to inaccuracy. Ideally, Power Check is housed within a nominated pocket in the machines’ tool carousel, ready for the next spindle pull-back reading. Moreover, the unit can be easily relocated from machine to machine.

The new M96 ER hydraulic collet chuck securing system will make its UK debut at Mach.

A raqinbow angle head from Pibomulti will also be presented at the manufacturing technologies show.

Gewefa says its M96 ER hydraulic collet is a flexible toolholding system that fixes the collet location of ER-driven head spindles. It offers an all-around grip on the cutter, with anti-vibration damping for improved surface finish. Features include a consistent spindle run-out and automatic centring of the inner and outer taper – to virtually zero, Gewefa claims. M96 is available in two shank options – ER25 and ER32, accommodating cutter diameters from six to 20 mm.

The Induterm M96 is based on the heat shrink clamping technique.

Pibomulti's new “Rainbow” range of angle heads is assembled on a modular concept, which allows cost savings of up to 30% over standard fixed-head units, the company notes. Available in fixed 90º, adjustable and slim-line designs with R65 and R80 indexing, they come in eight different types of modular shanks including DIN, BT, HSK and Capto versions.
