Platinum Tooling Technologies, Inc., the exclusive importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, offers a variety of solutions designed to enhance the rpm capabilities of machines ranging from large turning centers to compact Swiss-type CNC lathes. Heimatec speed increasers are engineered to help manufacturers achieve higher spindle speeds while maintaining precision and reliability.

Heimatec speed increasers are available in a complete range for popular live tool lathes and Swiss-style machines, with gear ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 and maximum speeds reaching 48,000 rpm. Configuration options include straight, offset, 90-degree, and universal adjustable designs. Tools can be produced with either external or internal coolant delivery, and mounting interfaces include BMT, Swiss-style machine, and VDI options to accommodate a wide range of machine tool platforms.

As medical and other high-precision, high-volume manufacturing continues to grow, speed increasers have become increasingly important to the machine tool industry. Smaller and more complex components require smaller cutting tools, which in turn demand higher rpm for optimal cutting performance. Heimatec speed increasers support these requirements across demanding applications. Heimatec speed increasers for Citizen, Tsugami, and Star machines are stocked by Platinum Tooling to support fast delivery and reduced downtime.

Additional models can be supplied from factory stock with short lead times.
