SANDVIK Coromant announces the Hydro-Grip Heavy Duty line, an extension of the Hydro-Grip line hydraulic toolholders.
Sandvik Coromant says the Hydro-Grip HD line offers the highest clamping force available on the market and brings secure tooling performance to heavy roughing applications.
The toolholders deliver excellent torque transmission to improve the performance of solid carbide end mills, drills and reaming tools. The Hydro-Grip HD line also contains dampening features that reduce vibrations during the machining process.
The toolholders securely clamp cylindrical shank tools with a symmetrical force to minimise tool runout and ensure high torque transmission. This performance is repeated over multiple clamping cycles to retain high-quality component surfaces and extend tool life, according to Sandvik Coromant. Each Hydro-Grip HD chuck is individually balanced to G2.5 to provide high-speed capability.
Based on a hydraulic tool clamping system, the system can be tightened quickly or released with a dedicated torque wrench. No external equipment is required to clamp or unclamp the system.
