Modular toolholding system

Sandvik Coromant designed its Capto polygon-shaped modular tooling system for use with turning and milling centers, and machining centers. The tooling system has a clamping system with an improved amplifier and gas spring that the company says maintains a high clamping force up to five times longer than conventional spring packages at high spindle speeds. The toolholder operates without changing the properties of balanced spindles of high-and low-speed machines. www.coromant.sandvik.com/us
