Loosening 2 bolt and switching jaws is only a few minutes slower than the fastest quick change chuck and the jaws are less expensive. All jaws were sets for specific part diameter, and several had steps of a standard depth (1/4”). We had several sets of nuts for chuck jaws so the operator could be preparing for the next part number to be machined. ![]() ![]() We had a Wasino LJ63M mill turn for several years and used KM50 and Komet ABS drills to reduce setup time. Capto tooling systems Mechineer (Mechanical) Even though quick change tooling can save some in setup time, the lack of rigidity can increase machining times, scrap, and tool wear to the point of costing more than changing stick tools. With that said, we use Komet ABS drills, some KM tooling and would consider Capto for some jobs. The KM50 was the least stiff and had the greatest non linear deflection. The Capto 50 did not have any low load problems but the deflection became greater as the load increased in a non linear way. of tool pressure in the X direction.Įach of the quick change tools had problems, the ABS 50 was the next most linear in deflection after an initial preload was applied, we saw ±.0005” movement with less than 50 lbs load applied initially. The most rigid tool was the 1 ½” boring bar, its deflection was linear, for each 10 lbs of load applied the deflection measurement was the same. 0001” indicator was mounted on the turret disk near the tool block and located a specific distance from the load cell point to measure deflection at given loads. The load cell was located the same distance from the joint face on the quick change tools, and from the sleeve on the stick tool. A 2 ½” diameter part was chucked with 4” of stick out, a load cell was connected to the chucked part and the boring bars. The test was done in a new Hitachi HT40G turning center. Tested were new KM 50, Capto 50, ABS 50 boring bars and clamping units, and a 1 ½” steel shank boring bar. Integrating the proven Coromant Capto® quick change technology with the highest quality Bolt-on Tool Blocks from Global CNC will have your CNC Lathe Department running at lightning speed productivity levels.Back in 1996 we did stiffness tests with quick change tool joints compared to a 1 ½” boring bar. Capto™ Modularity provides exceptional flexibility while allowing for minimized tool inventory saving time and money.Increases productivity by using the same bolt-on toolholder with a variety of extension and reduction adaptors.There is effortless understanding of use when switching out tools, even when tight tolerances are required.It has improved stability for high volume lathes.It is a great problem solver for deep reach applications.It is a very rigid system that allows for easy tool replacement with limited changes in pre-determined offsets, thus reducing set-up times.There are many advantages to using a Global CNC. Global CNC uses Original Capto® components from the Sandvik company. Global CNC Capto tool system is available in Capto C4 and C5. These methods ensure the highest quality Capto™ connection that allows for easy tool replacement. Global CNC designed Capto™ tool blocks are developed using advanced machining and grinding methods, strictly using only superior alloy steel. This allows for an increase in part production with higher efficiency. Our Capto™ Bolt-on Tool Blocks optimize machinery use by reducing the time it takes to set up and change between tools. Our newly designed Capto™ blocks bring a precise, rigid, and accurate quick-change solution to enhance production in the manufacturing environment. Plymouth Michigan has been manufacturing CNC lathe tooling for over 35 years.
