Precision toolholding systems from SCHUNK are now equipped with the original Sandvik Coromant Capto interface. As a licensed partner of Sandvik Coromant, the competence leader in clamping technology and gripping systems manufactures TENDO hydraulic expansion toolholders, and other standardized toolholding systems with the original interfaces C4, C5, C6 and C8. Customer-specific solutions and C10 are also manufactured by request.

Compared with equivalent sizes of other standardized interfaces, the SCHUNK Capto interface disposes of a higher bending and torsional strength. Static torsional tests show, that in terms of load change, the torsional moment is superior, too. Due to the greater wall thickness, higher clamping forces can be achieved than with comparable mountings. "The advantages of the SCHUNK Capto interface and the characteristics of our precision toolholding systems are ideally combined," said Gerold Sch?ffer, Head of Sales for Toolholding and Workholding Systems at SCHUNK. "Operators benefit from high stability, achieve a higher performance, brilliant surfaces and prevent the tool cutting edges from damage."

The most significant part of the SCHUNK Capto tool interface is the polygonal taper, which assures secure and scope-free position fixing, and a high torque transmission. In the framework of this partnership with Sandvik Coromant, SCHUNK manufactures toolholders with a SCHUNK Capto interface completely under their own initiative at the headquarters in Lauffen, Germany. This is the best foundation for achieving maximum precision.
