Top Quality Tools Demand The Perfect Connection for Optimum Results

The tool holder is the dynamic link between the tool itself and the machine and the performance and quality of that holder are as vital to the success of any machining operation as the tool or machine itself.   The required concentricity, accuracy and overall finished quality in a machining operation is directly affected by the precision and rigidity of the tool holder used.

MAPAL Inc. offers the perfect solution for every application and connection.  Modern machining environments demand simplicity, precision and speed together with flexibility, security and economics in tool setting and changing.  MAPAL inc. offers all of this combined with advance technology, innovation and the quality MAPAL is known for.

From Expanding Chucks to Thermal Expanding Chucks, from Polygon Chucks and Mechanical Chucks for Cylindircal Shanks to Adaptors and Flanges to MAPAL’s innovations like KS Clamping Cartridges and HFS Systems, MAPAL has a holding solution for you.






HSK-A
Toolholders with shanks and gripper elements under DIN 69893, Form HSK-A, are suitable for both manual and automatic changing.  The uniform nature of HSK gives the HSK clamping devices a universal character.

Flange Modules
Flange modules are designed and suggested for applications that require the ability for adjustability of the tool in the spindle to help in compensating for concentricity and angular errors on the machine spindle.  These are adjusted radially with alignment features and produce extremely high accuracy results.

Floating Holders
The MAPAL “Wellach System” of floating holders has been specifically designed for high speed reaming.  These holders are designed to compensate for axial and angular displacement during the machining process. To produce higher machining values and even better results, the floating holders can be combined with MAPAL self-adjusting floating holders which will reduce the pendulum movement required by the floating holder and therefore minimize radial play.
