Advanced Materials Require Advanced Manufacturing.
The continuing development of high-strength, lightweight materials such as titanium alloys, Inconel, and new aluminium alloys are eagerly sought by manufacturers in many industries, including aerospace and defense, energy, and transportation. These new materials present significant machining challenges in themselves. Add the competitive pressures in these global industries, and finding advanced manufacturing solutions becomes a top priority.
Duo-Lock™ – Pioneering Technology. Virtually unbreakable.
For the first time, a modular milling system can achieve the similar high performance of the latest generation solid carbide endmill. To deliver groundbreaking joint technology, Duo-Lock™ combines the innovative history from leaders in the world of manufacturing—HAIMER.
Duo-Lock™ maximizes a carbide tool’s full potential with productivity gains in both roughing and finishing. It provides high load capacity and rigidity when machining at high metal removal rates. When combined with high-performance cutting tools, Duo-Lock™ provides more than double the metal removal rate in common milling applications.
The Duo-Lock™ Technology
The Duo-Lock™ technology addresses the issue of the increasing cost of carbide by delivering a modular interface for cutting tool heads. Duo-Lock™ provides maximum stability and load capacity through a proprietary thread design with a double cone bond. The results are unmatched precision and productivity, with a connection that is virtually unbreakable in the most demanding applications.
Duo-Lock™ milling heads
A variety of the newest milling geometries have become available with the new HAIMER Duo-Lock™. The high-precision and extremely stable Duo-Lock™ interface allows the use of the full potential of the milling geometries and achieves the maximum cutting depths at the same time. The heads can be replaced while tool is on the spindle with high dimensional repeatability.
Duo-Lock™ Shank Extentions
With the new shaft extensions from the Duo-Lock™ series, a universal solution for almost all processing cases is at your disposal:
- Complete true running accuracy
