Flexible tool adapter system offered for right-angle heads

Heimatec has released the U-tec® flexible adapter system on all right-angle heads in the company’s line.

According to the company, it plans to include these adapter systems on all angle heads going forward.

The technology allows a standard ER output live tool to accept various adapters for different applications. This allows machinists to have quick changeover of tools on almost any lathe or mill, using a single live tool, without having to commit to a quick-change system on the initial purchase. A face mill adapter, for example, can be positioned into the standard holder, without the need for a completely new base being installed. This reduces inventory costs as well as changeover time.
