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.
CharlotteGastoniaRock Hill, NCSC BENZ Inc. will present several tooling systems during
IMTS 2016 (International Manufacturing Technology Show), September 1217 at
McCormick Place in Chicago. Showing in Booth W2445, BENZ will feature its LinA
broaching tools, crown gear technology for heavyduty machining, adjustable angle heads
for machining difficult angles, and productionenhancing modular quickchange 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 shortstroke 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 laborintensive manual tool
change or adding an expensive automatic tool changer. This proprietary, patented BENZ
Solidfix® modular quickchange system allows the user to preset tools for precise,
repeatable cuts, with tool changes in 15 seconds....
