and cycle times are faster. In addition, the use of petroleum products and their potential for contamination is eliminated, a a benefit for medical applications,” said Mayer.
Innovative Toolholding, Workholding Technology Exsys Tool Inc. (San Antonio, FL) offers a wide array of toolholding and workholding products including the Preci-Flex modular quick-change tooling system, the Eppinger C3, C4, and C5 PSC connection baseholder, the Deco-Flex modular adapters for Swiss automatic machine tools, and the new line of Gressel vises. “The Gressel line doesn’t cause deflection at the baseplate and can be used for simple clamping up to five-axis applications on tombstones or on palletizing systems for machining centers,” said Scott Leitch.

“The compact Deco-Flex connection for Swiss machines features a conical and flat-face planar interface that ensures concentricity and repeatability with quick-change capability for end mills and cutters. Applications can range from single spindle up to six-spindle machines and includes thread whirl- ing, gear hobbing, and angular adjustable tools,” said Leitch. The Preci-Flex modular quick-change tooling system fea- tures a selection of adapters engineered to hold different cut- ting tool and shank designs. The adapters’ common connect- ing feature locks into a standard base unit on the machine turret, enabling tool/adapter assemblies to be preset offline then quickly switch in and out of the base unit. Tool positions repeat within ±3 µm, eliminating the need to re-center, touch off, or make test cuts. “We’re seeing a lot of shops with gearcutting jobs in- house, cutting splines, helicals, or even bevel gears,” said Leitch. “We’re helping getting more adjustable angle gear hobbers developed that will enable the customer to develop different types of gears and multiple gears using the same toolholder rather than purchasing multiple toolholders or specialized tools,” said Leitch. Another new Exsys develop- ment is a compensating clutch that prevents misalignment of the machine turret due to normal wear or tear. In addition, the compensation clutch will allow for “true torque transfer” from the drive motor to the part without causing any harmonics.
Innovative Coolant Delivery System, Process Security “There’s a whole paradigm shift in manufacturing with tolerances getting tighter and tighter and shops unable to get results out of existing equipment,” said Andreas Weber, president, Rego-Fix Tool Corp. (Indianapolis, IN). “When you
