1888 Press Release – BENZ Inc.15 second quick tool change with Benz Solidfix®Driven live tools with Benz Solidfix® interface for swiss tooling. Factors such as tool diversity, set-up time and precision are important in production and the Benz Solidfix®modular quick-change system addresses each need. BENZ has developed tools with the modular quick-change system Benz Solidfix®in size 1.More than 30 years of experience in developing and producing CNC machine tool accessories make BENZ GmbH Werkzeugsysteme one of the leading system partners in the Metalworking, Woodworking and Composites Industry. Tools can be preset outside the machine, saving the user additional time. Swiss tooling applications are usually characterized by very small parts, which are produced in high quantities in multi-shift operation. will be presenting new products at this years AMB and IMTS tradeshows.
The company will be introducing its LinTec series of broaching tools, and Solidfix® Quick-Change system. Products on display will include the trade show display Manufacturers BENZ LinA push-type aggregate and the BENZ Solidfix quick change system. With the new LinA, operators are able to create geometric forms up to a length of 35mm on machining centers with the axial push-type unit. BENZ tooling systems are engineered in Germany and sold and serviced in the US and Canada from its BENZ Inc. headquarters in Charlotte, NC.Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC – BENZ Incorporated has announced that it will be presenting new tooling systems during AMB 2014, Hall H1, Stand Number IF59, in Stuttgart, Germany and IMTS Booth #2445, September 8-13, 2014, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. Now, BENZ has transferred the success of the driven push-type unit BENZ LinA for CNC lathes to the newly developed unit for machining centers.
The sophisticated product portfolio reflects high quality and innovative precision engineering. The product range for CNC lathes has also been expanded in keeping with the demands of the market. Down time costs money, so manufacturers are looking for the quickest and easiest way to make tool changes. With the integrated modular quick-change system Benz Solidfix®only the adapter has to be changed while the tool holder stays on the turret. It includes static and live tools, exchangeable units, such as angle heads, multi spindle heads, modular quick-change systems and large drilling heads, as well as 2-axis CNC-NC heads. The gearing of the push-type unit converts the rotational movement of the drive into a linear movement of the chisel. Quick tool changes are even possible with very little room in the machine at the tool holder.
A combination of modern management and advanced, innovative engineering has transformed this traditional tooling company with over 250 employees into an innovative, growing enterprise. All machining processes had to be programmed via the machine control in advance. The new BENZ LinA long stroke allows the push slotting of deeper forms compared to the standard version LinA.About BENZ Tooling and BENZ Inc. This is made possible by a longer working stroke of 51mm compared to the standard version’s 32mm.BENZ LinTec push-type technology: Driven push-type unit for machining centersPreviously, conventional push-slotting of forms on machining centers was only possible by moving the rotational axis
