Accurate, rigid, repeatable

The new toolholding system for the all-new Hardinge RS-Series turning centres — Eppinger’s ESA top-plate, toolholders and PreciFlex adapters — was developed and made on the German toolholder specialist’s four Harding Quest CNC turning centres. Today, machining time on almost all parts running on these four Quest turning centres with the new tooling system has fallen greatly — operating and set-up time have been reduced by 80 per cent. But the story started some years ago, recalls Eppinger GmbH president Ewe Eppinger whent he met a representative from Hardinge in Europe at an exhibition.
