Antivibration Tool Holders for Precision Machining
Excellent dampening at high-speed machining
In the aerospace industry, nickel alloys such as Inconel are widely used to create machining parts and components. These are sturdy materials, and milling them comes with their own set of challenges, namely, tool wear and tear. Antivibration tool holders for precision machining directly address this challenge. These anti-vibration CNC tool holders help maintain stability during high-speed operations. They are especially effective in high-speed machining of hard alloys like Inconel and titanium.
Aerospace demands precision output because even a micron of chatter or loss of concentricity makes the part unfit for use. Arris Tooling produces tool holders that provide dampening support, helping manufacturers eliminate vibration and increase tool life. Our antivibration solutions, such as hydraulic holders and shrink-fit holders, are available across multiple interfaces and are rated G2.5. These tool holders are widely used in CNC machining centers and VMC machines for high-precision applications.
Manufacturing Process of Antivibration Tool Holders
Shrink-fit holders and hydraulic holders, our antivibration tool holders for precision machining solutions are produced as follows:
Forging
Pressing hot steel alloy billets into production-ready blanks and annealing them.
Rough Cutting
Using subtractive manufacturing to create the initial geometry.
Carburizing
Heating the rough blanks in a carbon-rich environment to increase surface hardness while maintaining a soft core.
Machining
Precision-grinding the taper and bore of the carburized blanks to achieve final dimensional accuracy.
Inspecting
Examining tool holders using precision gauges to ensure they meet design and engineering standards.
Our Range of Antivibration Tool Holders
At Arris Tooling, we manufacture hydraulic holders, shrink-fit holders, and reduction sleeves. These antivibration tool holders for precision machining are excellent at dampening, though each works differently.
Shrink-fit Holders
Shrink-fit holders provide excellent all-round clamping, helping secure the tool head in place. The ensuing rigidity eliminates micro-movements, which is a common source of vibration when working with demanding metals.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Steel-Alloy |
| Runout (mm) | ≤ 0.005 mm |
| Balance | G2.5 @ 25,000 rpm |
| Shank Interface | HSK-A, SK |
| Industry Standards | DIN 69893, DIN 69871 |
Cons: Heating the nose beyond the specified temperature can lead to deformity.
Hydraulic Holders
Hydraulic holders utilize an internal vibration control mechanism to absorb vibration. The mechanism is usually an oil-filled chamber but proprietary fluids are also used. Hydraulic holders offer a secure fit, absorbing micro-vibrations during finishing operations.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Steel-Alloy |
| Runout (mm) | ≤ 0.005 mm |
| Balance | G2.5 @ 25,000 rpm |
| Shank Interface | HSK-A, SK |
| Industry Standards | DIN 69893, DIN 69871 |
Cons: Pressure failure and loss of grip at temperatures exceeding 50°C.
Reduction Sleeves
While technically not a holder in itself, reduction sleeves help eliminate vibration to a large degree. When paired with hydraulic holders, they can enhance vibration control without noticeable loss in rigidity.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Steel-Alloy |
| Runout (mm) | ≤ 0.005 mm |
| Balance | G6.3 @ 15,000 rpm |
| Shank Interface | BBT |
| Industry Standards | DIN 6383 |
Cons: Unsuitable for aggressive roughing operations.
