Toolholder fixture Haas’ fixture grasps toolholders — the devices that hold the cutting tools in CNC machines. The fixture has a lightweight cast-iron body, cast aluminum vertical taper and horizontal holders and long-wearing steel inserts that engage the toolholder’s drive slots. It is easy to mount on a worktable and comes in sizes for all common machine tapers.
What’s new? The toolholder fixture.
Benefits Convenience. The fixture supports a toolholder securely and prevents it from rotating, leaving workers with both hands free to tighten or loosen collet nuts, set screws or pull studs as they replace or adjust tools. The fixture also protects toolholders from the kind of damage that can be caused by using improper gripping methods.
