All holders are available with Mimatic mi, a modular quick-change system designed to enable the user to preset tools and reduce machining downtime. Custom-made live tools can be engineered for specific applications. The company says it plans to carry additional Mimatic tooling for other leading builders in the future.
The company also stocks a range of standardized live tools for Okuma, Mori Seiki, Nakamura-Tome and other builders, including those that utilize Sauter turrets. The live tool offering includes high speed tooling, coolant-through tools, high-pressure through coolant, axial tools, radial tools, dual-output radial tools and universal tools. Straight and offset units, modular quick-change systems and quick-change tapping holders are also available.
