MAPAL Vibration-Damped Tool Holders for Milling

Challenges when milling include eight times higher deflection when the projection length is doubled, vibrations, increased noise, strain on the tool and machine spindle, and longer machining times caused by reduced cutting parameters.

Key Features

• Challenges when milling include eight times higher deflection when the projection length is doubled, vibrations, increased noise, strain on the tool and machine spindle, and longer machining times caused by reduced cutting parameters.
• The MAPAL solution is a self-contained system with a heavy-metal core, spring package and oil bearing, plus a tool adapter with internal cooling.
• The plug-and-play system requires no setting of the vibration dampening system and can be used with the standard programme or customised solutions.
• Customer benefits include savings of up to 50 percent through a higher material removal rate, up to 60 percent better surface finishes, and process reliability by avoiding cutting-edge chipping.
