Toolholders feature small clamping diameters.
December 12, 2008 -
TRIBOS Mini toolholders and SVL extensions have clamping diameters as small as 0.012 in., allowing circuit board tools with straight shanks to be held directly in holder. Utilizing elastic forces of material to clamp tool shank, clamping process can be accomplished within 30 sec via clamping device - manual SVP-2 or automatic SVP-3 - together with corresponding reduction inserts. Run-out accuracy and repeatability are less than 3 microns, and basic counter balance is less than 4 g/mm.

Entering a 'Mini' Dimension - TRIBOS Mini, the Smallest Clamping on the Market
SCHUNK Inc. continues to expand the TRIBOS toolholding family by now offering Mini toolholders and SVL extensions. TRIBOS Mini toolholders and extensions now have clamping diameters as small as 0.3mm (0.012").
This means that circuit board tools with straight shanks can be held directly in a holder. With the introduction of the new TRIBOS Mini, SCHUNK eliminates the need for many special cutting tools with larger tool shanks.
The clamping principle of TRIBOS Mini is based on the elastic forces of material to clamp the tool shank. The clamping process can be done within 30 seconds by means of a clamping device, either the manual device SVP-2 or the automatic clamping device SVP-3, together with corresponding reduction inserts.
The run-out accuracy and repeatability is less than 3 microns. Due to the rotational symmetric design, a basic counter balance of less than 4 g/mm is guaranteed. TRIBOS Mini offers all the benefits of the existing TRIBOS toolholding family. Since the TRIBOS system has no movable components, it is absolutely maintenance free and the user will appreciate the long tool life.
