The TRIBOS-Mini directly clamps the smallest of tool shanks consistently along the entire axis. Machining medical, dental, and micro level parts are the most challenging applications faced today. This innovative toolholder from SCHUNK eliminates troublesome collets, collet nuts, and inconsistent tool clamping.
With a run-out accuracy of less than 3 microns and a balance grade of G2.5 at 25,000 RPM, high RPMs and fast feed rates are achievable. Unique in the proven TRIBOS design is the direct clamping through the elasticity of the tool holder material. The patented TRIBOS technology utilizes a polygon form in the clamping bore to generate the clamping.
Cutting tool clamping results are simplified without the influence of an operator. The holder is inserted into the TRIBOS press and the cutting tool is released in less than 30 seconds.
Manual mounting and changing of tools in TRIBOS-Mini toolholders and TRIBOS-Mini extensions has never been so efficient. The new SVP-Mini clamping device enables SCHUNK-Minis to be clamped simply for micromachining as far as the back stop, saving time and significantly reducing set-up costs.
This handy and compact clamping device is distinguished by its simple handling and covers the entire TRIBOS-Mini range (D2-dimension 9 mm) without any additional reduction inserts. This not only makes it a low-cost acquisition but economical as well. The SVP-Mini can be fastened both horizontally and vertically to the workbench while direct clamping and unclamping on the spindle are also possible.
TRIBOS-Mini offers all of the benefits of the TRIBOS family, with an extensive line of holders and extensions. Compromises are no longer necessary when clamping small cutting tools.
