Product News Toolholder Enables Concentric Clamping Schunk Inc., Booth 545 Schunk's Tendo Platinum toolholder is designed for durability and precision in most milling, drilling and reaming applications. An improved brazing and hardening process in the same cycle enables rigid tool clamping. Constructed of high-grade tool steel, the holder is through-hardened to ensure long life and damp vibration. According to the company, it is balanced to G2.5 at 25,000 rpm and offers a precise runout accuracy of less than 0.003 mm (0.0001") at 2.5× clamping diameter.

Featuring an integrated rotary axis, the probe turns the stylus system in the direction of the feature being measured and adjusts to complex workpieces. An integrated swivel joint enables the stylus system to turn in 15-degree increments, and the value can be confgured for virtually any angle for special applications. The probe supports the "navigator" function, which optimizes measuring speed for desired accuracy, as well as the "performance" function, which enables styli to scan interrupted contours. It is said to be well-suited for parts with many features and angular positions such as those on helicopter and locomotive gear housings, as well as rotationally symmetrical workpieces such as wind power turbines. The probe accommodates long, heavy styli ranging to 350-mm long and weighing as much as 500 g, and is available for the Accura II, GageMax, Prismo and MMZ T II Zeiss systems.
