CNC holders are components clamped onto the spindle of CNC machine tools. Their function is to hold CNC tools, allowing them to come into contact with the workpiece and complete the machining process. CNC holders are usually designed to a certain standard interface, making them universal across different machine tools.
CNC holders are both machine parts and accessories. To understand it this way, CNC holders, as parts holding the tools, are an important part of the machine tool, making them one of the machine parts. However, since CNC holders are not essential components for all machine tools, from this perspective, CNC holders can also be considered machine tool accessories.
CNC holders are tools that connect the tool to the spindle of a machining center, playing a crucial role in CNC machining. Their functions include the following aspects:
Connecting the tool and spindle
CNC tool holders can connect the tool to the spindle to complete cutting tasks.
Fixing the tool
The tool holder secures the tool onto the spindle of the machining center, enabling the tool to operate stably, making the cutting tasks more precise and efficient.
Transmitting cutting force
The tool holder can transmit cutting force and torque, making it less likely for the tool to vibrate during machining, thereby ensuring machining precision and quality.
Depending on the connectivity, shape, material, and other requirements, CNC holders come in different types. Common types of CNC holders include the following:
Machine spindle taper holders
Suitable for most machine spindle systems, including BT, SK, CAT, and HSK.
Electric spindle taper holders
Suitable for electric spindle machines, such as CNC lathes, rotary transfer machines, and mill-turn machines.
Expandable tool holders
Used for large-diameter tools and hole machining, generally connected using offset bars.
Collet holders
Suitable for modular tool systems, including straight shank holders and angle holders, used for general face milling and side milling operations.
High-speed cutting holders
Used for high-speed milling tasks.
CNC holders play a very important role in CNC machining, directly affecting the precision and surface quality of the machined parts. Firstly, the rigidity and precision of the CNC holder largely determine the stability of the tool clamping. A tool holder with insufficient clamping capability or precision can cause tool vibration or deviation, thereby affecting machining precision and surface quality. Secondly, the interface form of the CNC holder directly determines whether standard tools can be used. For some specially shaped tools, extra-long or overweight tools, different machines may require different CNC holder interfaces.
When selecting a suitable CNC holder, the following factors should be considered:
Spindle interface type
Choose the corresponding tool holder type according to the specific model of the machine spindle to ensure reliable and precise connection.
Cutting load
Choose the appropriate tool holder material and specifications based on the hardness and density characteristics of the machined material to meet machining requirements.
Machining conditions
Select the type and shape of the tool holder according to the machining conditions to ensure maximum tool cutting efficiency.
Cutting method
Choose the appropriate type and size of CNC holder based on the different cutting methods during machining to effectively improve machining efficiency.
In summary, CNC holders are important components and accessories for machine tools, playing a crucial role in CNC machining. It's important to note that when selecting CNC holders, you should choose suitable holders based on different machining tasks and machine tool requirements to ensure smooth subsequent processing, thereby improving product machining quality and efficiency.
