INTEGRATED TOOL HOLDERS HELP REDUCE TOOLING INVENTORY
With modular tooling possibilities, these integrated tool holders from Sandvik Coromant can be used in many tooling combinations to suit applications and machine tools using a smaller inventory of standard items.

This new range of integrated tool holders from Sandvik Coromant (Sandviken, Sweden) is designed for compatibility with CoroMill 316 exchangeable-head (EH) tools. The holders achieve a more secure performance than cylindrical shanks clamped in a precision chuck, with comparable tool overhang, regarding torque transmission, run out and accuracy.
When all machining variables are the same, integrated holders with an EH coupling also provide shorter total programming length and higher stability when compared to cylindrical shank tool holders.
