Shrink Fit Technology

Shrink-Master

The Shrink-Master shrink fit apparatus provides for the most accurate and rigid tool mounting available. The system utilizes an inductive heating coil to very quickly heat the shrink fit holder (15-20 seconds), this causes the slight expansion of the holders precision bore. Once the tool is set into the holder, the holder is cooled. The resulting bond transmits torque values 2 to 4 times higher than conventional mechanical or hydraulic chucking systems. Because the entire length of the tools shank is contained within the holder, superior concentricity, (3µm /. 00012in.), is achieved. Additional benefits of shrink fit technology include; enhanced tool life, improved surface finish, and the ability to achieve narrowed tolerance resolution.
