Lock and boring holders have different scope of application and functions in machine tools

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-31

Lock toolholders and boring toolholders are tool fixtures used on machine tools, but they differ in scope and function.

The lock tool holder is mainly used to fix the tool, and is widely used in ordinary machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, and boring machines. The main function of the lock toolholder is to ensure that the tool can work stably and prevent the tool from loosening or moving during the machining process, so as to ensure the processing quality and efficiency.

Boring holders, on the other hand, are mainly used on special machine tools such as boring machines and machining centers. The main function of the boring tool holder is to ensure the precise rotation and positioning of the boring tool during the machining process. The design and construction of the boring holder allows the boring tool to maintain stable rotation and positioning, resulting in high-precision boring operations.

The structure of the lock and boring holders will also be different. Generally speaking, the lock knife seat is composed of a base, a clamping block, a bolt, etc., and a spiral or pressing plate clamping form is adopted. The boring tool holder is composed of a base, a fixture, a center pin, etc., and a force film spring type or manual fastening type is adopted.

In addition, the lock tool holder can usually be applied to different types and specifications of tools, which has great versatility. Boring holders, on the other hand, require the use of specific specifications of boring tools, which have a relatively narrow range of use.
