MAPAL switches to HAIMER Safe-Lock ™ anti-extraction system
Friday, July 15, 2016Description :
MAPAL milling tools have proven themselves successfully on high-performance machining, such as trochoidal milling, in a wide range of industries, for example in aeronautics. To give users even more security against tool extraction during machining and to avoid damage to the component or machine, MAPAL will rely on the HAIMER Safe-Lock ™ anti-extraction system in the future . The two companies have recently signed a corresponding license agreement.

HAIMER and MAPAL entered into a partnership and licensing agreement. For this, the specialist in the field of clamping technology located in Igenhausen, near Augsburg, and the manufacturer of precision cutting tools from Aalen combine their skills. In the future, they will cooperate more closely in the development and development of technologies and their application. The two companies signed a corresponding agreement and sealed their partnership in this way. "We are proud and happy to have found MAPAL a strong partner with us as one of the leading tool manufacturers. "Says Claudia Haimer, managing partner of HAIMER.

But MAPAL's managing partner, Dr. Dieter Kress, is looking forward to future collaboration. "We appreciate the high competence of HAIMER, whose innovative solutions in the field of tool holders perfectly complement our high-tech tools. "With this agreement, MAPAL is licensed on HAIMER's worldwide patented Safe-Lock ™ technology.

"The Safe-Lock ™ system has been proven both in the marketplace and during our internal testing. Therefore, we decided to bet on the leading system. "Says Dr. Jochen Kress, member of MAPAL's management. "It is particularly used for modern machining strategies. With the Safe-Lock ™ system, it is possible to significantly increase the productivity and tool life. "Says Andreas Haimer, managing director and chairman of the HAIMER group. Because it is precisely the high performance cut which requires absolute safety. Due to the high value of the components or automated production, it is necessary to avoid the scrap and stops of machines by guaranteeing the reliability of the processes. The HAIMER Safe-Lock ™ system ensures friction anchoring and form locking between the tool and the mandrel by means of special drive elements incorporated therein. Thus there is no longer any risk of sliding or extraction of the cutters during machining.

In the first stage, MAPAL will offer, starting in October, cutters equipped with the Safe-Lock ™ system for high-performance machining. In the second step, the hydraulic chucks will follow and will be designed for this type of anti-extraction system.
