The Modu-Line Concept*
•The
insert holder is clamped in its support by two screws across
the section of the tool.
•The
bearing surface with longitudinal teeth provides excellent
strength and precise positioning. Positioning along the
length is determined by a stop (fixed or adjustable) and
support is guaranteed by the pressure exerted by a ball-spring.
The two fixing screws are held tightly by the insert holder,
thereby preventing them from becoming lost and making tool
handling easier.
•This
type of tool configuration provides wide flexibility with
regard to tooling composition. It is possible to use standard
tool holders, Modu-Line tools and tools driven along a screw
die side by side.
•The
spray nozzles are made from stainless steel and can withstand
very high pressures (up to 100 bar/1’500 PSI).
•Each
sprinkler module can be supplied separately, which is essential
to guarantee high pressure at the location required and
to reduce the formation of oil mist.
•There
are two versions of the Modu-Line tool holders:
•
The tool holder with sprinkler.
•
The dual tool holder, making it possible
to
have 2 tools in one
position.
•For
machines with a monobloc tool holder plates, specific Modu-Line
tool holder plate can replace the original one. The benefits
in increased reliability and tool changeover speed are quite
considerable. Operator convenience and handling is likewise
increased. There is now no need to position the tools over
their length by touching the bar with the end of the insert,
thus eliminating the risk of premature notching of the cutting
edge. In the majority of cases, a Modu-Line system allows
the use of two or three additional tools.
