Tool Holder Extension has clamping dia. of 0.012 in.
Press Release Summary:
TRIBOS Micro-Mini extension allows circuit board tools with straight shanks to be held directly in holder. Clamping process requires 30 sec by means of clamping device, either manual SVP-2 or automatic clamping SVP-3, together with corresponding reduction inserts. Run-out accuracy and repeatability of extensions is less than 3 microns. Due to rotational symmetric design, basic counter balance of less than 4 g/mm is provided.
Original Press Release:
Entering A Micro Dimension - TRIBOS Micro-Mini, The Smallest Clamping On The Market
SCHUNK Inc. continues to expand the TRIBOS toolholding family by now offering Micro-Mini SVL extensions. TRIBOS Micro-Mini 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 Micro-Mini, SCHUNK eliminates the need for many special cutting tools with larger tool shanks.
The clamping principle of the TRIBOS Micro-Mini extensions 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 of the extensions is less than 3 microns. Due to the rotational symmetric design, a basic counter balance of less than 4 g/mm is guaranteed. The Micro-Mini extensions offer 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. By complementing the existing TRIBOS line with a new line of extensions, SCHUNK enters the classic market of micro cutting as used in the watch-making industry or for machining of countersunk electrodes.
