Without the need for collet chucks or intermediate sleeves, the Prismo3 clamps shank diameters between 3 and 20 mm. The repeat clamping accuracy is equal to 0.005 mm, while runout is equal to 0.01 mm at an unclamped length of 45 mm.
The X-axis on Prismo3 toolholders always remains unchanged regardless of tool diameter. This means that all clamping jaws remain in the identical axial position, making it is possible to machine various tools around the clock in unmanned operation without reprogramming the L1 measurement. As a result, the expense of additional programming and the danger of a collision caused by unnoticed axis misalignment are eliminated.
