Successful machining requires powerful machines and highly-precise tool holding technology, which ensures that the precision is transferred from the spindle right to the cutting tool edge. Within the last couple of years HAIMER, the European market leader in the area of tool clamping technology, has become the complete system provider for tool management.
One highlight from the comprehensive product portfolio is the VIO linear series. It is the only machine series on the market with a linear drive for efficient and highly precise presetting of drilling, milling and turning tools. The direct drive within the x- as well as z-axis offers the user a very dynamic positioning precision and reliability of even the largest tooling. The repeatability of +/- 2 μm indicates the high degree of quality inherent in these machines. The increased speed of linear drive can guarantee a productivity increase of up to 25% during the machining process – all of that at a very good price-performance ratio.
The innovative one-hand-operation makes it possible to manually or automatically measure the axes and guarantees a μm-precise fine positioning. Finally, maximum quality during the manufacturing process is achievable through fast and exact measuring with the image editing software Microvision VIO.
