Tool holders are devices on machine tools that are used to securely and precisely fasten tools. There are different types of tool holders used depending on the machine tool and application.
Some of the most common tool holders are:
Collets: These holders consist of a collet holder and collets that clamp around the tool and securely hold it in place.
Drill chucks: these receptacles are mainly used for drill presses and clamp the drill tool in the center.
Shrink fit chucks: these holders clamp the tool by heating and shrinking the chuck part around the tool.
Steep taper chucks: These holders consist of a tapered sleeve and a matching tool held together by using frictional forces.
HSK fixtures: These fixtures are mainly used in CNC machining and allow precise positioning of the tool. They have a tapered geometry with a high concentricity and a high rigidity.
The choice of the right tool holder depends on the machine tool and the type of tool to be used. Accurate and safe toolholding is crucial for the quality of the machined parts as well as for the service life of the tool and the machine.
