HSK FLANGE SYSTEM

All spindles are equipped with the HSK quick-change Coupling System. The main machine feature advantages of the HSK system are perfect radial and axial repeatability and quick and easy wheel changes. The System consists of a hollow HSK shank that holds the wheel flange, and the HSK receiver that is mounted to the spindle. Both, shank and receiver are machined to a short but very accurate 1:10 ratio taper and a mating face. To achieve perfect repeatability when reengaging the coupling, the shank is pulled exactly against the mating face of the receiver with a draw bar. Mounting a wheel flange with traditional CAT or SK Systems in a defined axial position has proven to be very difficult because only the mounting force determines how far the flange slips onto the taper of the spindle. Wheels mounted on a HSK flange can be removed from the machine in seconds using a standard ALLEN wrench. For dressing outside the machine, the wheels remain on the flange and they are mounted to a matching HSK receiver on a standalone dressing unit. After reinstalling the wheels into the machine and entering the new wheel diameter into the control the production can continue without additional touch up procedures.
