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.
