Holder for Heavy Roughing

August 12, 2009

The Hydro-Grip HD (heavy duty) from Sandvik Coromant is a new addition to the company’s Hydro-Grip line for use in heavy roughing applications.

This toolholder for solid carbide end mills, drills, and reaming tools clamps cylindrical shank tools with a symmetrical force to minimize tool runout and ensure high torque transmission. Each chuck is also individually balanced to G2.5.

Based on a hydraulic tool clamping system, the toolholder can be tightened or released with a dedicated torque wrench, and no external equipment is required to clamp or unclamp the system.

This family of toolholders can be used in applications ranging from finishing to heavy roughing from a 0.236-in. to a 1.26-in. bore diameter. The toolholder holds tolerances within microns to help improve tool accuracy and component surfaces.
