SYSTEM BENEFITS BENZ SOLIDFIX® | BENZ CAPTO™ | BENZ NANOFIX® An investment worth making Beside higher rpms and higher accuracy the reduction of set up and machine down times is the main focus in the manufacturing industry. An important success factor is the integration of a modular tool interface. The basic principle and the biggest advantage of modular tooling systems is that tools can be pre-set, set up and be ready for use on the machine by the operator, all while he is already in the process of machining other parts. The pre-set adapters then can be changed in a flash in the machine. BENZ...

Setup time: Tool Change SAVINGS WITH BENZ QUICK CHANGE SYSTEMS Exchanging units Tool change on the unit Reduce setup time = Save costs Long machine standstill times arise for a tool change where the complete unit is taken out of the machine. By changing the cutting tool directly on the unit, setup times can already be reduced by 40%. The optimum can be achieved with modular quick-change systems. Here the cutting tool is measured outside of the machine in the presetting device. Replacing the adapter therefore only requires a few seconds. You save 90% of your original setup costs! You also reduce...

MODUALR QUICK CHANGE SYSTEM BENZ SOLIDFIX® User friendly, stable and very precise By combining taper concentricity with no backlash with an extremely large planar surface, combined with high torque, BENZ Solidfix® offers a maximum in stability and rigidity, which is even capable of withstanding the demands of milling. The high torque transmission and the highest possible rpms also stress the effectiveness. This is supported by a special clamping mechanism which works centrally, without lateral forces, which in combination with the compact, highly precise components used achieves optimal values...

MODUALR QUICK CHANGE SYSTEM BENZ SOLIDFIX® TOOL CHANGE Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the system In order to change an adapter in the angle head/live tool the operation unit needs to be in the loosed position. Loose position: Marking is sitting on open lock Clamped position: Marking is sitting on closed lock Step 2: Inserting the adapter Insert the adapter into the tool spindle. The adapter cannot fall out due to a special safety mechanism which holds the tool in place, even if not clamped yet. This prevents injuries during set up of the tools in the machine. Step 3: Resistance controlled...

Step 5: Clamping of the adapter To do this press the mechanism and at the same time rotate by approx. 100 degree clockwise in the “close” direction. Optimal clamping force is achieved when applying the recommended torque. The tool is already clamped securely as soon as a 75 degree angle is achieved. Step 6: Loosening the adapter After machining you can loosen the adapter by pressing the mechanism and at the same time rotating counterclockwise in the “open” direction. The adapter will be held in the tool after loosening until you take it out. Note for clamping and un-clamping: for static Benz...
