Hydraulic Expansion Toolholder suits aerospace applications.
Press Release Summary:
Available for HSK-A63, HSKA 100, CAT 40, and CAT 50 interfaces, TENDO AVIATION combines strength of hydraulic expansion technology and Weldon toolholders regarding run-out accuracy, balancing grade (G 2.5 at 25,000 min-1), vibration damping, and accelerated tool change via Allen key. Integrated anti- pull-out mechanism ensures tool orientation and form-fit clamping when using Weldon shank. Also, mechanism prevents tool pull out and ensures holding of positional tolerances.
Original Press Release:
New Partner for Demanding Precision Machining
SCHUNK is broadening its program for high performance hydraulic expansion toolholders with the TENDO AVIATION. This toolholder specifically focuses on demanding applications, which usually occur in the aerospace industry.
TENDO AVIATION combines the strength of hydraulic expansion technology with that of Weldon toolholders. This includes high run-out accuracy, a balancing grade of G 2.5 at 25,000 min-1, perfect vibration damping, and a fast tool change using an Allen key. An in-tegrated anti pull-out mechanism ensures an orientation of the tool and form-fit clamping when using the Weldon shank. The mechanism prevents tool pull out, and positional tol-erances can be held. These features allow the full potential of both tool and machine to be used.
TENDO AVIATION allows maximum torque transmission at a consistently high precision and process reliability. Compared with conventional Weldon and Heat Shrink toolholders, where the run-out accuracy decreases over time, it offers tremendous advantages. The run-out accuracy and vibration damping of the TENDO hydraulic toolholders prevents the cutting edge from wear, extends the tool life, and ensures smooth surfaces. The uniform load profile ensures a longer service life of spindle and spindle bearing as well.Â
This affordable toolholder is available for the interfaces HSK-A63, HSKA 100, CAT 40 and CAT 50.
