Platinum Tooling Offers New High-Speed Solutions for CNC Lathes
Platinum Tooling Technologies offers a variety of products designed to enhance the rpm capabilities of your machine -- from the largest turning centers to the smallest Swiss-type CNC lathe. One of those products is a speed increaser.
The Heimatec speed increasers are now available in a complete range designed for popular live tool lathes and Swiss-style machines, offering gear ratios of 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 with maximum speeds of 48,000 rpm. Design configurations include straight, offset, 90 degree and universal adjustable, while tools can be produced with external or internal coolant. Mounting options include BMT, Swiss-style machine and VDI interfaces to suit a wide range of machine tool setups.
With the growth of medical and other high-precision, high-volume manufacturing and the use of Swiss-style machines, speed increasers have become vital to the machine tool industry. As components get smaller, the cutting tools required also get smaller, necessitating higher rpm to provide maximum performance. Heimatec speeders for Citizen, Tsugami and Star machines are in stock at Platinum Tooling.
Speed increasers for BMT turrets including Nakamura, Miyano, DN Solutions and Haas are also in stock.
Additional models are available from factory inventory with short lead times. Engineered for efficiency and precision with the highest quality components, these tools deliver increased productivity, long service life and cost savings for the busy machine shop or OEM production department.
