Applying short-taper toolholders for high-speed machining

摘要

A number of toolholder designs are available that offer an alternative to the steep-taper spindle connection. The toolholders that have become the most popular for HSM offer a simultaneous fit on both the taper and the face at the front of the spindle.These Systems have been embraced by the metalcutting industry because of the increased rigidity of the joint and inherent reduction in size, compared to the equivalent steep-taper connection. With the emergence of high-speed spindles, the adoption of these toolholding systems has increased appreciably.
