Sandvik Coromant Introduces New Quick-Change Solution
Innovative QS toolholding system designed for Citizen machines
Fair Lawn, New Jersey, June 19, 2006 - The revolutionary QS toolholding system by Sandvik Coromant is the company's latest innovation for Citizen machines. Each system kit includes a stop, two spring-loaded wedges and a short toolholder such as the CoroTurn 107, CoroCut XS, CoroCut 2, CoroCut 3 or U-lock, with shank sizes ranging from 0808 mm to 1616 mm in diameter.
Because of its unique design, the system can significantly reduce downtime and improve productivity. With this quick-change solution, insert indexing times are reduced by 2 minutes, and diameters can be machined multiple times without having to change the machine's settings.
Because the system is designed for easy operation and use, a single screw controls clamping and unclamping capabilities. The system also features a spring-loaded wedge, which secures the short holder in place and eliminates cumbersome handling. The QS system's insert edge position is automatically set up by contact between the short holder and the stop and does not require adjustments.
The new QS toolholding system will be available with the upcoming CoroPak(TM) 2006.2.
