Live and Static Tools for Swiss-Type CNC Automatic Lathes

In Booth W-432427, Heimatec Inc. (Prospect Heights, IL) will announce the availability of their Citizen tool program that is made especially for longitudinal turning lathes and optimized to the required machine parameters so that shops can now use the tools for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Originally developed for the manufacture of precision parts in the watch industry, longitudinal turning lathes are now found on machines that manufacture automotive components, screws and pins for the medical industry or precision parts for electrical engineering. Given the many uses of turning lathes, Heimatec created a wide range of both static and driven tools. During development, an optimal adjustment to the machine parameters was carried out, as well as a precise design for the machine parameters, to construct a coherent and continuous tool system based on improved technology. The result is a program of processing instruments with long service life and the highest processing quality.

To achieve this, Heimatec relies on the superior spindle bearing technology and ground gear components, with housings and spindles that have maximum stiffness. In addition to Citizen, Heimatec continues to develop special tools and systems, as well innovative ways to integrate the user experience. The long-term goal of this Swiss tooling program is to expand the range of processing possibilities and increase productivity during machining with lathes.
