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.

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.

HSK-C
The toolholder program for hollow shanks
with the HSK-C form allows for wide-ranging opportunites for
use in batch production on special machines to universal application
as a modular holding system. Incorporating the use of the MAPAL
KS clamping cartridges with extension and reducing elements
allows for optimum transfer of bending and torque dynamics.

ISO
MAPAL offers a wide range of product
in the area of steep taper (ISO) connections and adaptors to
DIN 69871. In addition to all current versions, there
are steep taper adaptors which, when combined with MAPAL MN5520
05 MN5523 adaptor flanges, ensure even greater concentricity.

BT and
CAT Holders
MAPAL offers an extensive range
of toolholders with steep taper made to the Japanese standard
of JIS B6339. MAPAL also offers a range of steep
taper holders made to the US standard of ASME B5.50. These
BT and V Flanged holders help meet the diverse demands
of various machine tool and tool connections with MAPAL
quality holding systems.

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.

Toolholders
with Cylindrical Shank
Browse MAPAL Toolholders with Cylindrical
Shank using the dropdown menu below. This program is available for the MAPAL proprietary Head Fitting System (HFS) with different clamping styles, as well a for SoftSynchro tapping. For more information on the MAPAL HFS System please check the link to the HFS Showcase Page. This
proprietary system provides precise tool change and repeatable
concentricity...and includes a comprehensive range of holders
with axial or radial clamping systems.

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.
