Proper Clamping Force...

  • Reduces wear on the machine taper
  • Improves product finish
  • Eliminates fretting
  • Increases tool holder and spindle life
  • Improves machine accuracy
  • Helps prevent "stuck" tapers
  • Reduces tool breakage, vibration, and wear
  • Saves money on maintenance costs

Knowing that the tool clamping force meets machine builder specifications is of vital importance. Correct clamping force on machining centers provides a sound connection between spindle and tool. A drop in clamping force can indicate worn or broken springs and other problems with the drawbar. Insufficient clamping force may result in accidents should the tool un-clamp during machining.

This critical performance–the tool clamping force–is often never measured after a machine is put into service. Regular verification allows problems to be detected early so maintenance and repairs can be scheduled. As a result, emergencies and unexpected down time can be avoided. When troubleshooting, ForceCheck allows quick diagnostic verification of drawbar performance. Additionally, ISO 9000 requires periodic verification of a machine's important accuracy parameters.
