Platinum Tooling Technologies Inc., the exclusive importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, offers a variety of products designed to enhance the rpm capabilities of your machine from the largest turning centers to the smallest Swiss-type CNC lathe.
Heimatec speed increasers are now available in a complete range designed for popular live tool lathes and Swiss-style machines, offering gear ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 with maximum speeds of 48,000rpm. Design configurations include straight, offset, 90° and universal adjustable, while tools can be produced with external or internal coolant. Mounting options include BMT, Swiss-style machine, and VDI interfaces to suit a wide range of machine tool setups.
With the growth of medical and other high-precision, high-volume manufacturing and the use of Swiss-style machines, speed increasers have become vital to the machine tool industry. As components get smaller, the cutting tools required also get smaller, necessitating higher rpm to provide maximum performance. Heimatec speeders for Citizen, Tsugami, and Star machines are in stock at Platinum Tooling.
Speed increasers for BMT turrets including Nakamura, Miyano, DN Solutions, and Haas are also in stock. Additional models are available from factory inventory with short lead times. Engineered for efficiency and precision with the highest quality components, these tools offer increased productivity, long service life, and cost savings for the busy machine shop or OEM production department.
Platinum Tooling Technologies Inc. is the importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, Henninger speeders for milling, Tecnicrafts Swiss-type collets and guide bushings, Hommel + Keller QUICK knurling and marking tools, and REV broaching tools in North America.
