Heimatec Live Tool Speed Increasers for Virtually Any Setup
PMTS 2021: Heimatec speed multipliers are designed to optimize machine parameters, resulting in improved efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Live tool speed increasers can run at 48,000 rpm and are available for all current Citizen machines.
Platinum Tooling Technologies Inc., importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, offers a new and expanding Citizen tool line. The line includes both live and static tools for most Citizen lathes, as well as all current L Series and new M532 models. These precision tools are designed to optimize the machine’s parameters, resulting in improved efficiency and cost effectiveness, the company says.
The live tool speed increasers can run at 48,000 rpm and are available for all current Citizen machines. Heimatec’s goal during the development of this line was to construct a series of tools that would provide the highest possible processing quality and longest service life. To achieve this, the company set out to incorporate high quality bearings, precision ground gear components, spindles and housings to produce superior tools.
