Introduction
Holding, changing, storing, handling and
administrating tools is a critical link in
the chain that supports successful ma-
chining. However good the cutting edge,
insert-clamping method, toolholder or
cutter-body, if the tool holding interface
with machine spindle and turret is un-
satisfactory, performance, reliability and
quality will not be as good as it can be.
An important potential for efcient pro-
duction may not be utilized.
More and more machine tools are being
built where the tooling system plays an
increasingly important role CNC-lathes,
turning centres, multi-task machines as
well as machining centres, vertical turn-
ing centres, boring mills, etc. In many of
these machines, tool changing is man-
ual and down-times are directly related
to how long it takes to release a tool,
replace it, clamp the new one and es-
tablish the right cutting edge position. In
many other machines, tools are changed
mechanically with automatic tool chang-
ers (ATC) from a magazine to tool spin-
dle. For efciency in both cases, the tool-
ing system is the key factor.
Manual tool changing
In machines where tools are manually
changed, the time taken for these stop-
pages have a profound effect on ma-
chine tool utilization and the time taken
for completing batches of components.
If by shortening the tool-changing time
the time-share of actually cutting chips is
increased, making the machine more ef-
cient. Instead of tool changing and tool
orientation for a new component set-up
taking most of an hour (as it often has),
tool changing with a quick-change tool-
ing system is reduced to a fraction of an
hour (minutes).
Similarly, stoppages for changing one or
few worn tools during a batch is reduced
dramatically with quick-change tooling.
The effect this has is that the machining
time is increased from typically around a
third of the available production time to
around half.

Automatic tool changing
In machine tools where tools are changed
automatically, tool changing time is not
the decisive factor. Instead factors such
as tool stability and strength, accuracy,
positioning, exibility, compatability, stor-
ing and handling together provide the
advantages that result in production
benets. More competitive cutting data
thanks to higher stability, fewer and bet-
ter-organized tools, interchangability of
tools between adaptors and machines,
equal suitability for stationary tools and
rotating tools and the ability to be an in-
terface between tooling system and tool-
spindle and tool-magazine are examples
of vital qualities.
A modular tooling system having all the
right qualities can give wide-ranging ad-
vantages in not only individual machine
tools but whole machine shops.
In both tool-changing cases - manual
and automatic - the tooling system being
modular with a state-of-the-art coupling
is what makes the difference.
Tool chucks
Incorporated in tooling systems and
critical for performance - are tool chucks.
The ability to securely and accurately
clamp and present shank-tools for a ma-
chining operation is decisive, not only
for achieving the desired component
quality and tool-life, but also for perform-
ing roughing operations productively. In
times when spindle speeds are continu-
ally elevated towards high speed machin-
ing (HSM) and new machining methods
are being introduced as well as nish-
milling is expected to reach new levels,
the quality of clamping a solid carbide
milling cutter and drill as well as index-
able insert endmill will in many cases
make the difference between competi-
tive and uncompetitive machining.

Coromant Capto is the only modular tooling system designed
for all metal cutting operations without compromise. Equally
efective in turning, milling, drilling and boring. The same cut -
ting tools and adaptors can be used in diferent applications
and machines, which makes it possible to standardize on one
tooling system for the entire machine shop. There are many
possibilities of assembling tools with a variety of lengths and
design characteristics. The same system can also be installed
in various machines types in diferent ways.
Coromant Capto modular tool system
for stationary and rotating tools
CNC lathes can easily be converted to Coromant Capto quick-
change tools using standard clamping units.
Coromant Capto can be integrated directly into the turret using
the standard clamping mechanism.
Coromant Capto
integrated into multi-task
machines gives many advantages:

the rigidity of the coupling
tools are relatively small in size and weight
Coromant Capto in machining centres, vertical lathes and bor -
ing mills gives fexibility and substantial reduction of inventory.

Modular holding tools: Solid holding tools:
When changing production there is a demand for exibility
from the tool holding system, as different component sizes
often lead to varying gauge lengths. Coromant Capto modular
tooling allows the correct length of tool to be built, in order to
maintain maximum performance.
When tooling is required for a variety of machines with differ-
ent taper size or designs.
When component complexity demands a high number of spe-
cial tools.
Coromant Capto offers reductions in tool inventory and makes
it possible to have one standard system of modular tools for
a variety of operations on lathes and machining centres.
On dedicated machines which produce components that will
not be changed.
Tools that are unchanged for the majority of tooling set ups,
such as facemill arbors and endmill holders of xed gauge
length.
Solid holding tools are an important complement to modular
tools, when for technical or functional reasons, modular solu-
tions are either not suitable or unnecessary.
The right combination of solid and modular tools gives high performance with a minimum overall inventory.
