Modular tooling system enables targeted cooling of flank and rake face

Horn USA has introduced the type 850 tool holding system. It is a more compact version of the type 849 and enables high stability as well as targeted cooling of the flank and rake face, the company states.

Standardized modules bridge several interfaces at the same time. The modular system has a selection of toolholders for turrets and other tool carrier interfaces based on common machine types. The matching grooving toolholders with integral coolant supply allow height adjustment of the cassettes and their mounting in the normal or overhead position, on the left or right of the holder.

For multispindle autos, height-adjustable tool carriers are available onto which the cassettes are directly screwed. The cassettes serve as an adapter for many of the company’s grooving insert systems. Parting off, grooving, and sliding-head turning all can be performed.

The company also is adding more variants to the modular system for use on Schütte machines.

The holder system uses inserts in the company’s 315 insert system.

For other inserts, special options are offered. The toolholders are available with and without angle adjustment. Height adjustment is simple and easily accessible from the front.
