Driven Tooling - VDI Live Tool Holder
The main principle behind the VDI tooling system is a quick-change clamping method for each CNC tool holder. VDI tool changes can therefore be performed within seconds, rather than within minutes as with the traditional block system. The toolholder can also be pre-set away from the lathe on a pre-setter. The VDI live tool holder therefore provides an accurate and rapid method of attaching tools to the turret plates with the typical changeover time for a pre-set VDI tool holder of less than fifteen seconds.
In today's demanding and flexible manufacturing environments, fast changeover and set-up times are essential in order to maximise machine tooling production. VDI tooling contributes to this need and can add many hours of productive operational capacity to a CNC lathe machine shop.
