TOOLHOLDING SYSTEMS - POLYGONAL CLAMPING TECHNOLOGY NOW ALSO FOR DRIVEN TOOLS

|April 2021
WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT, THE HIGH precision SCHUNK TRIBOS polygonal clamping technology will also be used for lathes and automatic revolving transfer machines with driven tools.
-
SCHUNK, the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology, has developed special polygonal tool holders with ER cone for this purpose that can be combined with all commercially available mountings for ER collets and with driven tools in particular.
QUICKLY SET UP AND PRECISELY ADJUSTED
The clamping system uses the high versatility of the ER taper and combines this with the precision of polygonal clamping technology. Instead of the less precise collet chuck, the TRIBOS mounting is simply inserted into the provided tool holder and fastened using the ER clamping nut. The advantage: The tools can be preset in the TRIBOS mountings with an accuracy of 0.01 mm in length, and can be exchanged in the collet chuck in a few steps. In this way, the user benefits from fast set-up times on the one hand, and on the other hand, from considerably higher repeat accuracy in the clamping system in terms of run-out accuracy and projection length compared to ER collet chucks.

A look back and the road ahead
The year 2025 will be remembered as a period of recalibration for India's manufacturing sector. Far from a mere continuation of post-pandemic recovery, it was a year defined by the complex interplay of global economic headwinds, rapid technological adoption and a decisive domestic push towards self-reliance and sustainability. For an industry that forms the bedrock of the nation's economic ambition, 2025 was less about incremental growth and more about structural transformation, setting the stage for a more competitive and demanding 2026.
