Thame Workholding has today announced the launch of a new partnership with German magnetic workholding solutions specialist Flaig Magnetsysteme – a move that will significantly enhance the Long Crendon, Aylesbury-based company’s product portfolio.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is investing £500m to transform its historic Halewood facility into a state-of-the-art production site for electric vehicles (EVs), the company announced in September.

The system with the height-adjustable basic holders is optimally designed. The optional coolant supply attachment with adjustable high-pressure jets delivers coolant directly to the tool cutting edge. All holders offer insert pockets with carbide shims to ensure a long-life insert seat.

Arno has announced optimally designed tool holders for back working on Swiss-type auto lathesTooling specialist Arno has introduced a series of tool holders for back working on Swiss-type auto lathes.The range includes fixed holders for Star and Citizen machines with a Y2 axis and height adjustable holders for machines without, with both systems offering adjustable through coolant supply direct to the point of cut. "Our new height adjustable holders for back working have a number of features that other conventional systems lack,” explains Werner Meditz, head of technology at Arno Werkzeuge. “The height-adjustable holders for machines without a Y2 axis can be finely pre-adjusted off-machine using an adjustment device. The system consists of a basic holder, spacer plate, top holder and coolant supply attachment. The basic holder is precision clamped and fixed by a dovetail guide which increases stability and prevents chip build-up.“The tool length is also adjustable by means of a spacer plate – it is simply pushed over the shank of the basic holder. The top holder and coolant supply attachment can each be firmly connected by a simple clamping fixture and secured with just one screw. When the top holder is changed, the centre height setting is retained which ensures outstanding repeat accuracy and offers incredible time advantages," he adds.The system with the height-adjustable basic holders is optimally designed.

These holders for Star and Citizen machines are designed in collaboration with the manufacturers to ensure optimum dimensional control and are therefore very compact. Combined with their fastening by two screws on the front and on the shaft diameter, these holders promise high stability. The through tool coolant supply can be connected from either side and the coolant jets are adjustable. The holders can also be fitted ‘overhead’ to optimise chip fall. All holders offer insert pockets with carbide shims to protect the insert seat.The range includes fixed holders for Star and Citizen machines with a Y2 axis and height-adjustable holders for machines withoutFor Star machines, the manufacturer offers a short and a long version of the holders for turning with positive ISO indexable inserts. Holders are also available for both machine types for threading with ER16-ISO inserts, for grooving with Arno TE14 inserts and for boring bar holders with diameters of 6-16mm. In addition, the range includes D20 combination holders to install Arno clamping inserts to suit the patented Arno AMS mini boring system. They also allow drilling with collet holders ER16 or ER 20 which have through tool coolant supply.A wide range of coolant accessories – including coolant distributors, hoses, connectors, quick-release couplings, swivel fittings, jets, and coolant attachments – make it easier to use high-pressure coolant to the tools. This allows turning experts to take advantage of the full range of cooling benefits on Swiss-type auto lathes. Here, too, Arno Werkzeuge provides simple solutions and demonstrates its extensive experience by analysing the individual requirements of users – especially when skilled labour is becoming increasingly difficult to find for production.Arnowww.arno.de/en/
