IMTS PAVILION: TOOLING AND WORKHOLDING
analysis, bearing analysis, and fault detection. Caron’s Tool Connect system is a tool identifi cation system that will auto- matically transfer tool presetter data to the machine control, using RFID tags in toolholders.
Intelligent Toolholder, End Mill Assemblies for Okumas Velocity Products, a division of Morris Group Inc. (Wind-
sor, CT) will introduce a new line of intelligent tools designed, tuned, and optimized for Okuma machining centers with the OSP-P control. Velocity Smart Tool is the result of a collabora- tion among several companies with expertise in toolholding, cutting tools, machining dynamics, and distribution. “A com- ponent of the Internet of Things, the intelligent tool is a natural fi t for sophisticated Okuma machining centers,” said Robert L. Bauer, Morris vice president and head of Velocity Products.
plications in a wide range of industries. “Our tooling solutions include powRgrip toolholding system, secuRgrip anti-pullout toolholding system, intRlox Mini Nuts, and the retrofi t reCool coolant-through system for live or static tooling used in both emulsion and oil coolant applications,” said David McHenry, engineering and technical manager.” The well-known pow- Rgrip toolholding collet system includes a holder, collet and mini-press, and relies on the interference between holder and collet to generate very high clamping forces. “Unlike other clamping systems where heat or hydraulics are used to expand the material, the powRgrip uses the mechanical prop- erties of the holder material to generate tremendous gripping force with runout below 0.0001" [0.003 mm],” said McHenry. Also being shown is the secuRgrip toolholding system, which locks the collet and cutter to the toolholder body to eliminate cutter slippage with a patented locking system that includes a small, profi led locking key insert that fi ts into a standard Weldon end mill fl at. The secuRgrip locking system has a TIR of 0.0001" (0.003 mm) and can be used in powR- grip, ER collet or Rego-Fix milling chuck systems. intRlox mini clamping nuts, which feature a
Caron Engineering will exhibit tool monitoring and adaptive control tech- nologies that completely automate and improve the machining process of a Tsugami B0205 auto-loading Swiss-type automatic lathe.
Bauer credits partner companies Briney Tooling Systems (Bad Axe, MI), BlueSwarf (State College, PA), and Fuller- ton Tool Co. (Saginaw, MI) for their roles in developing and manufacturing Velocity Smart Tools. Products will be sold as complete and balanced toolholder assemblies consisting of a pull stud, toolholder, solid carbide cutting tool, and BlueSwarf Dashboard interface for the Okuma control. Replacement cutting tools exclusive for the Velocity Smart Tools will be sold separately through Velocity Products. The new Velocity Smart Tool products will be integrated into several machining demonstrations at the Okuma booth.

frontal milled slot on their outside diameter that mates perfectly to a corresponding wrench, pre- vents slippage during the tightening or loosening process. “Since being introduced, the intRlox mini nuts have been well received. One company indi- cated it wanted to adopt the intRlox plantwide,” said McHenry. The reCool coolant-through system is able to convert an existing tooling system in as little as
two minutes. It brings the benefi ts of internal cooling to the live tooling used in CNC turning operations and static tool- holders on Swiss automatic machines when used with the inteRlox anti-slip nut design. “reCool has been redesigned with materials that have extended its use to handling oil, as well as emulsion coolants,” said McHenry.
Rohm Products Focuses on Improving JIT Effi ciencies Rohm Products of America (Lawrenceville, GA) is going to focus on products that help its customers improve their JIT manufacturing effi ciencies, according to Matthew Mayer, CEO. “We have the products that deliver quick changeover and quick setups, the keys to saving time and money,” said Mayer. Last year, for example, Rohm introduced two different chucks, a matched set, that improved pipe and coupling
