Whether it is drilling, milling or turning, residues from the machining are not only left on the part surface but also in the tools and fixtures. Cleaning of the latter is usually still done manually, even though cleaning of the manufactured parts is carried out in a cleaning machine. Specifically, for tool holders (e.g. HSK) and tool fixtures, Metallform has developed inserts, which can be easily placed in standard cleaning baskets. They enable the fast, process reliable and economical automated cleaning as well as transport of the assembled tool holder.
Special inserts enable easy automated cleaning In order to be able to clean the equipped tool holders also in the cleaning machine, Metallform has developed specific inserts for standard cleaning baskets such as the MEFO-BOX. The inserts are available for different tool fixtures, e.g. HSK, Conus, VDI and SBA and can be adapted to the type and size of the holders. Fixation of the holder in the insert only takes place at uncritical areas.
