is now the distributor for Rineck shrink-fit tooling and shrink-fit machine technology in the United States and Mexico. Rineck offers standard and custom shrink-fit toolholders with various connections, including CAT, HSK, BT, SK, PSC and straight shank extensions as well as ER shrink-fit collets. For added rigidity, flange or dual-contact toolholders are available for CAT and BT tapers. A clamping range from 3-32 mm is possible for both slim and standard styles. All tools are available in inch and metric sizes.
Rineck produces a range of standard shrink-fit toolholders as well as custom tooling. In addition to standard 4.5-degree taper tools, 3-degree slim and extra slim tools are available. Most toolholders come standard with length-adjusting screws. Coolant delivery to the cutting tool can be achieved either through the center or flange of the toolholder, utilizing coolant jets or slots.
In addition to shrink-fit toolholders, Platinum Tooling also offers shrink-fit machine technology. Equipped with an elevation cooling system, heated tools can be moved to a cooling tank with a push of a button. The Induktherm Rapid Shrink II VCS Machine’s smart design keeps accessories stored but close at hand during operation.
For this line of shrink-fit tooling and machine technology, Platinum Tooling is also handling application engineering, sales and service through a network of distributors across the U.S. and Mexico.
