Obtain Consistent Machining Quality with Rigorously Balanced Tools
In CNC machining, the push for faster cutting speeds and higher feed rates has been behind advances in tooling technology. To keep pace with these demands, tooling systems must perform meticulously at extremely high speeds. Achieving this performance level requires tools that are precisely balanced to extend tool life and spindle runtimes, resulting in superior cutting performance.
The Balancing System with Modern Technology and Ergonomic Design
With optimally, highly, precisely balanced tools, you achieve longer tool life, a longer spindle running time and a better surface quality of your components. With »toolBalancer« from Zoller Inc. (Ann Arbor, MI) not only do you get your shop’s tools but also your entire production into the perfect balance of sustainability, efficiency and progress.
»toolBalancer« makes tool balancing extremely simple thanks to its ergonomically designed safety cover »twinPanel«, a convenient membrane keypad, and a compartment for balancing adapter and storage in the large work area.
ZOLLER’s operating software with its structured graphic display guides the operator intuitively through the measuring and balancing process. All balancing applications on 1 to 2 balancing levels are available for use via corresponding software options, such as fixed location compensation with balancing screws or the use of balancing rings or balancing by material removal such as drilling or milling.
Imbalanced tools are caused by an asymmetrical design and the resulting asymmetrical mass distribution. ZOLLER’s »toolBalancer« solves like with like and relies on a deliberate center offset in the balancing adapter when measuring and balancing your tools.
The balancing adapter with center offset is designed with a two-point contact and a pressure element. These features enable a large and more measurable sensor signal and guarantee highly precise balancing results. The »toolBalancer« comes in two variants:
- »toolBalancer 550«: Maximum tool diameter: 18.9″ (480 mm), maximum tool length: 21.6″ (550 mm)
- »toolBalancer 750«: Maximum tool diameter: 18.9″ (480 mm), maximum tool length: 29.5″ (750 mm)
Reliable, Quick and Efficient: The Perfect Balancing Machines
With the better cutting performances and higher cutting speeds due to extremely high tool speeds and feed rates, the demands for rotating tooling systems have also increased. Balanced tools are necessary in order to make full use of a CNC machine’s capacity. The Tool Dynamic TD Comfort, Haimer USA, LLC (Villa Park, IL) is a universal balancing machine program to balance tool holders, grinding wheel adapters or other rotors and work pieces fast, easily, accurately and efficiently.
Benefits and advantages include:
- Flexibility for future requirements due to modular construction 4 versions available, offering a perfect solution for every need.
- Balancing in 1 or 2 planes.
- Unique high precision spindle taper adapter system with automatic clamping for all common tooling systems and tapers.
- Highest measuring accuracy and repeatability.
- Adapters for rotors with a center bore (e.g., grinding wheels).
- Unbalance correction by drilling, milling, balancing rings and weights.
- Easy service due to modular construction with plug connectors.
- Calibration function for testing equipment control according to ISO 9001.
- Permanent calibration once for all tools due to hard bearing technology (force measuring vertical balancing machine).
