The Exsys/Eppinger PRECI-FLEX® adapter system is continuously expanding to meet the toolholding needs of today’s manufacturers, and Exsys Tool will feature two of the system’s latest innovate additions in booth #2108 at the WESTEC 2012 show scheduled for March 27-29 in Los Angeles. Joining the industry-leading PRECI-FLEX line of high-precision modular tooling systems are the new Type 02 extended adapters and new Shrink-Fit adapters. Type 02 extended adaptors within the PRECI-FLEX system feature extended collet chucks that allow tooling to be positioned closer into a machine spindle or chuck; because of their extended lengths, the adaptors eliminate any tool interference issues. As part of the many different types of PRECI-FLEX adapters that adhere to the front face of the collet pocket, the Type 02 adaptors permit the use of smaller size collet diameters closer to those of the cutting tool to be used. This option provides more secure tool holding and the ability to clamp tooling at greater distances from the chuck, yet with the same rigidity as if using a standard toolholder. Exsys/Eppinger adds all the benefits of shrink-fit tool holding technology to its PRECI-FLEX system with the development of the company’s new Shrink-Fit adapters.
