T-Clamp system enhanced

TaeguTec has launched three new heads, the C4, C5 & C6, all of which have been designed to accommodate all the existing adapters that are in stock as standard items. The heads suit the existing TCER/L & TCFR/L adapters and are compatible with competitor systems to eliminate additional costs to the end user. The heads have two pockets, so customers can use right or left-hand adapters. The new line delivers all the advantages of the T-Clamp modular system with its integral shank that enables external and face machining to be conducted, reducing the cost of machining considerably. The new blade program for face grooving operations has been designed to work deeper and with a wider range of diameters than integral holders to give the end user advantages when conducting parting and grooving operations. The new blades reduce costs and improve productivity, with the double or single-ended pocket option for reducing tooling costs. To further reduce the cost of the blade program, TaeguTec has made the new blades compatible with standard tool blocks and extractors. The purpose of the single-end inserts is to give the customer rigidity and stability when grooves are required at a depth beyond the length of the inserts. The stability and rigidity of the holders, combined with the tool life of the TDC/ TDJ/TDFT & TDXU inserts, make the double-ended blades reach deeper than competitor face grooving tools.
