Live Tooling for CNC Lathes

Picture
Their wide product range consists of a comprehensive tooling offering for almost all current CNC lathes. The flexibility and variability of the designs results in a substantially increased production output.

Their tools are suitable for many applications in the field, and their Live Tooling come with a choice of external and internal coolant supply.
Efficient torque transmission and high drive speeds allow you to work effectively and efficiently and the versatility of their Live Tools is complemented by a big variety of different output clamping systems:
  • Collet chucks
  • Arbors
  • Weldon
  • Sandvik Coromant Capto
  • Hydro expansion chucks
  • HSK, MAS BT, ANSI CAT
  • easy-quick system (heimatecs own quick change system) or
  • Komet ABS


In addition to the standard range of products, they design in-house special custom designed tools based on customers specifications. For example, multi spindle drill and mill heads or speed increasers.

"Easy Quick"

Picture
There are quite a number of quick change systems on the market, but most of them take up too much space to be used with Live Tooling.

This is why Heimatec has developed its own quick change system.

The advantages of our system: 
  • High flexibility
  • Short tool setup times
  • No corrective programming during tool changes
  • High precision
  • Extreme durability
In addition, a specific set of Live Tools can remain in the machine and only the front end adaptors have to be changed. This eliminates the time-consuming adjustment of tools. The clear advantages have led to the high level of acceptance and the success of our quick change system.

Angle Heads

Picture
Heimatec‘s standard and custom Angle Heads are designed and manufactured to handle the most difficult manufacturing processes.

They are ideal for heavy milling operations because they are supported by twin or double twin sets of matched angular contact bearings plus a rear radial support bearing.
All gears used in our Angle Heads have inclined teeth, are made from high resistance gear steel, and are specially hardened, ground and lapped in sets to provide the smoothest transmission output available.

Heimatec Angle Heads are made from special high tensile aluminum and all surfaces are sandblasted and anodized blue. We only use high precision spindle bearings, ABEC 7(P4), Timken bearings, or custom bearing systems to assure the highest possible spindle concentricity.

Multi Spindle Drilling Heads

Picture
Heimatec produces large Multi Spindle Machining Heads. These Tools compliment their other existing high quality products.
Applications.
Multi Spindle Machining Heads are mainly used in special purpose machines such as Transfer Lines, Rotary Machines, and Drill Head Changers. These units are used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace and are suitable to produce individual holes, as well as complete drill patterns. 

 These patterns can consist of several holes with the same or different diameters. One Tool can perform several different operations simultaneously. All Heads are available with internal coolant or a minimal lubrication system.

u-tec® system

Forget everything you knew about quick change systems. Now there is u-tec - the new dimension in machining!

Heimatec engineers have successfully created a quick change system that is so universal and economical, it´s hard to believe.
Here are the benefits of the u-tec system:
  • Extremly high power transmission by polygonal drive
  • Use of u-tec with collet nuts, with internal and external threads
  • Enormous saving potential for tooling, because with all standard heimatec holders standard collets or u-tec adapters can be used
  • All u-tec adapters can be clamped with standard collet nuts
  • Very high cost savings during operation by a minimum set up time

Getting Started with Live Tools 
"The bottom line is the bottom line for most of us today. However, always consider the future jobs when purchasing tooling systems for your new and existing lathes. What might seem a bargain might not be, after the first big job is completed."
