BENZ IMTS Booth to Feature Advanced German-Engineered Tooling Products

1888 PressRelease - At IMTS 2016, BENZ tooling demonstrations will include the LinA broaching system, Solidifix Modular Tool Changing System, BENZ CAPTO, and multiple angle heads.

Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC - BENZ Inc. will present several tooling systems during IMTS 2016 (International Manufacturing Technology Show), September 12-17 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Showing in Booth W-2445, BENZ will feature its LinA broaching tools, crown gear technology for heavy-duty machining, adjustable angle heads for machining difficult angles, and production-enhancing modular quick-change tools.

BENZ engineers its tooling systems in Germany, with sales and service functions in the United States and Canada based at company headquarters in Hickory, N.C.

"We are very excited about demonstrating our tooling capabilities during IMTS," said John Roasa, national sales manager for the BENZ Inc. metal division. "We think IMTS attendees will benefit from seeing how these tools are engineered to solve manufacturing problems, increase production efficiency and reduce setup time and costs."

Roasa explained that the BENZ LinA broaching system changes the rotary motion of the live tool turret into a linear motion for broach and spline machining on turning centers. LinA radial and axial models are available in both long- and short-stroke versions. "The LinA makes manufacturing I.D. and O.D. profiles extremely fast, easy and less abusive to the turning center," he said.

The BENZ Solidfix® Modular Tool Changing System lets users change tools quickly by using adapters that hold a variety of tools instead of requiring a labor-intensive manual tool change or adding an expensive automatic tool changer. This proprietary, patented BENZ Solidfix® modular quick-change system allows the user to preset tools for precise, repeatable cuts, with tool changes in 15 seconds.
