Platinum Tooling, the exclusive North American importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, has expanded its line of tooling for the Haas BMT turret.
The product line includes a variety of driven tools (axial and radial drilling and milling heads) as well as static toolholders. Recently reengineered, these driven tools are said to be capable of running at a higher rpm for a longer period of time, contributing to shorter production time and longer tool life.
Heimatec also offers specialty tools for this turret, including multi-spindle, adjustable angle and speed multipliers. These BMT turret tools enable Heimatec to provide immediate support and innovative tooling technology. Heimatec is said to offer over 40,000 designs in its database.
