Gewefa updates its Rineck heat-shrink clamping machine offering
1 min read
Three Rineck heat-shrink clamping machines now being offered by UK representative Gewefa include two re-designed dual purpose vertical bench top machines capable of shrinking both HSS and carbide cutters, and a free standing, top of the range machine with an automatic cooling system.
The RapidShrink vertical machines are both dual purpose HSS and carbide compatible units. The smaller VCS 5 kW unit is suitable for cutters with up to 20 mm diameter shanks while the larger VCS 10 kW machine can accept cutters up to 32 mm shank diameter. Both machines have an inbuilt safety device to prevent tools overheating during shrinking.
The top of the range, free-standing 10 kW ECS unit has a heavy duty induction generator and coil designed for shrink clamping carbide and HSS tools in high use environments.
Shrinking times on the ECS are between 3 and 9 sec and, once completed, the toolholder/cutter combination is automatically immersed in a coolant tank for a pre-selected cooling period. The entire wheel-mounted cabinet assembly can be moved from machine to machine in the workshop.
Adaptors are available across the range to convert machines between HSK, DIN and BT shrink toolholder formats.
Details of the Rineck, EWS, Pibomulti, Nann, OTT and Parlec products supplied by Gewefa are available on the Corsham-based toolholder specialist's redesigned website.
