Standard Workholding

In modern CNC machining operations, minimising spindle idle time and increasing throughput is critical. That’s why many advanced shops are turning to Midaco’s automatic pallet changers with a trunnion system. Below are some of the standout benefits that such a system brings, especially when integrated into vertical machining centers (VMCs) or hybrid setups.

In modern manufacturing, the pressure to reduce setup times, increase precision, and drive smarter production processes is higher than ever. To meet these challenges head-on, engineers and production managers are turning to high-performance workholding solutions from AMF, available in the UK through Hyfore Workholding.

The desire to save time and the related cost benefits has always existed. However, in the past, lathes or the turrets mounted on them were limited in their maximum rotation speed and thus the cutting speeds that could be achieved.

Hyfore is excited to announce that our trusted partner, heimatec, has expanded its premium range of combi multiple turning holders. The latest additions include versions with internal coolant and wedge-style clamping, now available in multiple sizes to suit a wide variety of machine brands. These advanced features improve tool life, enhance machining performance, and ensure secure, precise clamping.

With Hyfore Workholding recently being announced as the exclusive UK and Northern Ireland distribution partners for the heimatec brand of precision tools and systems, Dirk Hund, the Head of Sales from heimatec Germany recently visited Hyfore Workholding in the UK to deliver in-depth product training on heimatec tooling.

Hyfore, which employs 36 people at its base in Coventry, has put together a new ‘apprentice pack’ that contains all of the essential tools and equipment they will need in order to complete their learning and take their first steps on their career path.
