Already available for users of Citizen and Star automatic sliding head lathes, Sandvik Coromant’s QS holding system is now being introduced for machine shops with Tornos, Tsugami, and Nexturn sliding head models. Released as part of Sandvik Coromant’s CoroPak 10.1 phase of product introductions, the QS (Quick Start) system is a productive alternative to conventional toolholders. With the QS system, tools can be slid in and out quickly, automatically locking into place on centerline, in turn improving repeatability and accuracy because of the highly secure positioning in the tool post. The QS consists of a system of stops, wedges, and short toolholders that replace conventional tool post hardware. The result is reduced downtime through faster tool changes.
