Schunk set to release additional interfaces for Tribos system

The Schunk interfaces deliver a higher level of standardisation for precision toolholding systems for micro-machining and systems are now available with the Tribos RM and Tribos Mini ranges.

The Tribos-Mini has been designed for high speed micro-applications and can now be integrated with a high speed HSK-E 20 spindle interface. Clamping technology experts at Schunk believe this newly standardised interface is superior to many short taper interfaces, due to its accuracy at elevated velocity. In addition, it needs much less space compared with the HSK-E 25 interface. Furthermore, Schunk has designed the Tribos-RM with an extended L1 dimension of 78 mm especially for 5-axis machining.
