BENZ Inc. Introduces New NanoFix® Quick Change System
BENZ Inc., a technological leader for the production of advanced tooling for the wood, metal and composites industries, has announced that it has introduced a new product called NanoFix®, a modular quick-change system for Swiss lathe live and static tools applications.
“Manufacturers producing small parts for the aerospace, automotive and medical industries will benefit from the Nanofix, which reduces set up and tool change time by up to 40%.” explained John Roasa, National Sales Manager, Metal Division, BENZ Inc. “It is engineered to provide all the characteristics and benefits of our popular BENZ Solidfix® modular tool changing system, but within a configuration ideal for confined space machining.”
The BENZ NanoFix modular quick-change system is designed for Swiss-type tooling with a minimum spindle distance of 22 mm and makes it simple to change tools inside the Swiss lathe in as little as 15 seconds. Utilizing a Torx locking mechanism, the NanoFix adapter can be released and removed with one hand and a slight turn of the wrist. NanoFix is a smart alternative for hard-to-reach ER collets while providing greater rigidity than other quick-change devices. It features a high concentricity of 5 μm on 30 mm, repeatable accuracy, short projection and play-free centering of tapering. Tool changes can be facilitated with one hand. Nanofix adapters can be preset outside the machine offering the ultimate in production flexibility.
