Our Capto™ Bolt-on Tool Blocks optimize machinery use by reducing the time it takes to set up and change between tools. Our newly designed Capto™ blocks bring a precise, rigid, and accurate quick-change solution to enhance production in the manufacturing environment. Plymouth Michigan has been manufacturing CNC lathe tooling for over 35 years. Other components also had indications of approaching the end of their serviceable life and were replaced.Global CNC Industries, Ltd. The two springs that came out were 141 mm or 11mm shorter definitely time for replacement.
CAPTO TOOLING FREE
The unit has two springs each about 152 mm free length. This was an older style with double flat wound springs. The tool clamp system was a Sandvik Coromant CAPTO clamping system. Some foreign material got in between the tool post locking rings and caused galling. However, the spindle required a complete rebuild. This Mazak Integrex spindle came to us from Sydney, Australia. Sandvik wins, HST wins, and most of all our customers win. Additionally, HST can now purchase original equipment parts directly from Sandvik. For that reason they provided HST with training and tooling. Sandvik, unlike some other OEMs wants their customers to have access to quality repair facilities.
Now when your clamping system needs a rebuild HST can provide the same high quality repair as we provide in all of our spindle rebuilds. You change inserts on the spare tooling while the machine is running then swap out with the capto system. There are two sets of tooling for each lathe, no inserts are changed in the machine. Even with very tight tolerances, you can swap out all the tools in the lathe and have a good part on first cut. The real advantages are in the repeatability, accuracy and speed at which tool changes can be made. “We use Capto exclusively on our high volume steel production lathes.
This also allows us to run the same program on 4 different lathe models using the same tools. There is no need to build tools or touch them off. The tool offsets are loaded by variables in the program. When the operator sets up a job, he loads the tools into the turret. The advantage for us is that we can have over 60 tools with known offsets. Capto’s strengths are rigidity, accuracy, repeatability and torque transmission. “As someone who runs more capto tools than not, in all our machines, here’s my take on it. But comments on various machining forums show that many end users really like the CAPTO system. We have not verified all of these claims. High Pressure coolant through-tool compatibility.What Are Some Advantages of CAPTO Tooling?Ĭoromant claims numerous advantages for their CAPTO system. So if you have a spindle that has a damaged CAPTO tool interface give us a call. We can also repair or re-manufacture damaged shafts. So if your CAPTO spindle needs rebuilding send it to HST and we will also restore your clamping system back to OEM specification. But with the correct tools and training, system repair is relatively straight forward.
CAPTO TOOLING ISO
It has also been an ISO standard since 2008.ĬAPTO tool clamp system requires special tooling to disassemble and repair. But over the years it has found greater acceptance with milling application and it has become a standard for some major machine makers. It was well received in turning applications for automated tool change. If you have a spindle with a damaged CAPTO clamping system call us at 1-60Ĭoromant CAPTO clamping system was developed in the 1980s to provide a rigid simultaneous contact system. Our technicians have trained with CAPTO factory representatives. we repair CAPTO Clamping Systems with OEM components.
