Tungaloy-NTK America’s ModuMini-Turn Series is a modular tooling solution designed specifically for Swiss-type CNC lathes.
With its modular design, the ModuMini-Turn enables users to replace tool heads quickly and easily without removing the shank. This feature is said to minimize machine downtime and eliminate the need to reset tool positions, providing significant time and cost advantages.
Key features of the ModuMini-Turn Series include:
- High precision and repeatability: Achieves repeatability within ±5 microns, providing consistent, high-quality performance for complex machining tasks.
- Compact, rigid design: The compact structure enhances machining stability and reduces vibration, delivering improved surface finishes and extended tool life.
- Versatile tool head options: A wide selection of tool heads supports multiple applications, including external turning, grooving, threading and cut-off operations.
- Cost efficiency: The modular system reduces tooling costs by enabling the replacement of tool heads rather than the entire tool assembly.
According to Tungaloy, the ModuMini-Turn Series is designed to streamline operations, boost productivity and provide reliable, repeatable results for high-precision parts.
