Workholding system

The push type F201 Cartridge replaces the Tornos F20-201 collet in CNC spindles, enabling use of Microconic collets for concentricity within 5µm (0.0002"). The micro-workholding system vectors chucking force over the holding surface, reducing chucking force while increasing holding power.

Post-processing system

Adaptive post-processing creates an integrated environment for independent steps of post-processing, tool path optimization, and G-code simulation, saving up to 35% in NC programming and machine cycle time.

All steps can be executed simultaneously, supporting automatic tool path corrections and eliminating errors that often arise in traditional, serial tool path creation.

Adaptive post-processing allows programmers to design tool paths regardless of the machine producing it, eliminating reprogramming when switching machines.

Automatic bandsaws

HBE Dynamic series bandsaws offer affordability, versatility, and efficiency. Cutting capabilities range from 10.2" to 42", and blade sizes from 1.25" to 2.625". Saws can be configured to support applications with bundle clamping, extended feeding grippers, and other options.

Vibration-damping grey cast iron provides solid, durable construction. The line’s downfeed control, guidance, and energy-efficient drive systems support high-quality cutting as does an electrically driven chip brush synchronized with blade speed. A servo-driven ball screw blade feeding system and pressure sensors automatically provide precise, constant downfeed control and adjustment to optimize cutting. The ball-screw driven material feed gripper eliminates backlash for precise material positioning and repeatability.
