MONOd MONOforce

MONOd' and MONOforce

QUALITY, PRECISION, STRENGTH, AND CONVENIENCE

The integrated MONOd’ and MONOforce toolholders represent an ideal solution to equip any type of machine tool with HSK 63, DIN AD+B, BT AD+B and CAT base arbors, guaranteeing the benefits of a high quality, high precision and ultra-tight tool, with a price that is highly competitive on the market. The MONOd’ program includes ER collet chucks, Weldon, mill holders, Morse tapers, and tapping chucks. The MONOforce ultra-tight line involves tool housing dimensions of Ø .47", .79" and 1.26", and allows for the tool to be tightened from Ø .12" to .98" with the use of standard reduction bushes. MONOforce is also available in kits complete with reduction bushes and tightening spanner.

TOPRUN

HIGH SPEED, BALANCING, AND PRECISION

A balanceable monobloc toolholder system that guarantees high precision in high speed machining on modern machining centers. The concentricity between the base arbors HSK 63, DIN, BT and CAT and the seat of the tool is always less than 3 µm. The advantages of using TOPRUN are the precision and the better quality surface finishing, a longer life of the tool and the machine spindle, as well as reduced costs and times and less noise and vibrations. The TOPRUN toolholder line includes ER collet chucks, Weldon, mill holders, and FORCE, an ultra-tight milling force.

MODULHARD'ANDREA

MODULARITY AND HIGH PRECISION

High precision modular toolholders for machine tools and machining centres that allow for boring, milling, drilling, and tapping operations to be carried out with extreme flexibility and rigidity. The cylindrical-conical coupling comes in nine sizes, ensuring the interchangeability of all the elements of the system that includes the base arbors HSK, DIN, BT, CAT and Polygon-shank, toolholder extensions, reductions, and adapters. The complete boring program for machining diameters from .10" to 110.24", complete the MHD’ line complete with roughing double-bit heads and centesimal and micrometric Testarossa finishing heads with a 2µm sensitivity adjustment.

GRINTA and MCD'

MILLING AND TURNING OPERATIONS

D’Andrea solutions for milling and turning operations that use cutting geometries with ISO inserts. The GRINTA program takes advantage of the perfect coupling concentricity and the extreme resistance to torsion of the MHD’ modular attachment. The arbors from Ø .63" to 1.26" are built with the MHD’ cylindrical-conical attachment and threaded end, while the one with Ø from 1.57" to 2.48" are made with the MHD’ integral attachment.
The MCD’ line includes lathe tools and toolholders, made in accordance with HSK-A63 standards with ICTM construction tolerances recommended for the application on MULTI-TASK machines. The program is produced in modular versions, with HSK attachment and interchangeable insert holder seats and complete with toolholders that permit the mounting of standard lathe tools.

TA-CENTER

TURNING OPERATIONS ON ALL MACHINING CENTRES

Boring and facing heads with automatic balancing, that allow for turning operations with fixed pieces on all machining centers. Built in five models with Ø of 3.15", 3.94", 4.92", 6.30", and 7.87", they can be easily applied on any machining center set up with a command unit for controlling the feed of the toolholder slide. The dimensions, structure, and weight of some models, allow for the TA-CENTER to be positioned even in the tool magazine area of small machining centers and loaded by the tool changer on the spindle of the machine. The simple application of the U-DRIVE command unit connected to the machine NC, allow for all types of operations to be performed including turning, cylindrical and conical boring, facing, threading, corner rounding, and spherical operations.

TA-TRONIC

TURNING OPERATIONS ON ALL MACHINE TOOLS

Boring and facing heads with automatic balancing, that allow for turning operations with fixed pieces on all machine tools. Built in four models with Ø of 3.94", 4.92", 6.30", and 7.87", they can be easily applied manually or automatically on boring machines, machining units, and special machines. Connected to the NC of the machine tool they make it possible to perform all types turning, cylindrical and conical boring, facing, threading, corner rounding, and spherical operations. Application on machines where they cannot be connected to the NC, may be made by managing the motor with a practical, simple, and economical positioner complete with a wireless REMOTE–CONTROL.

U-TRONIC

"SUPER SIZED" PERFORMANCE

Medium and large sized boring and facing heads, which allow for turning operations to be made with fixed pieces on all machine tools. Built in various models  from Ø of 14.17" to 63", they can be applied manually, automatically, and with pallet systems on boring machines and special machines. Connected to the NC of the machine tool, they make it possible for all types of operations to be made including turning, cylindrical and conical boring, facing, threading, corner turning, and spherical operations. Managing machines where a connection to the NC is impossible, may be made using a positioner with a wireless REMOTE–CONTROL. Special versions of U-TRONIC, with two slides or with counterweights for self-balancing may be supplied upon request.

U-COMAX

UNIT AND TRANSFER SOLUTIONS

U-Comax boring and facing heads are axial command heads designed to be used on transfer machines, machining units, and special machinery. Even during rotation the feed control of the toolholder slide is commanded by a U-Drive drive unit, mounted behind the spindle and managed directly by the NC of the machine tool. U-Comax heads are used for inner facing, outer facing, back-facing, inner and outer turning operations, grooves, phonographic grooves, cylindrical and conical threading, conical and variable boring, concave and convex corner rounding, through interpolation with the other the machine axes.

AUTORADIAL

FOR AUTOMATIC FACING

Facing heads with automatic feed and rapid return of the slide, without stopping or inversion of the machine tool spindle. Built in three models, AR100, AR125, and AR160, that are easily applied on machining centers, processing units, and on NC machines and do not require any electronic interface or servo drive. They automatically perform a work cycle of facing, back-facing, phonographic grooves on flanges, internal or external seats for snap rings or O-Rings. Six feeds of the interchangeable tool holder slide are available, upon request.
