Morse Tool Holder Taper Sleeve Gauges

TAC Rockford Morse tool holder taper gauges are for inspection of Morse tool holder tapers. Gauges made from a hardened gauge steel, and include a certificate. Manufactured per DIN 229.

Tool Holder Taper Sleeve Gauges

Available for Steep Taper CAT/ANSI/DIN/BT/ISO 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65

Steep Taper (DIN69871) Tool Holder Blanks

Tool Holder Taper Inspection Gauge

Available for all steep taper tool holder sizes (20, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60) The tool holder inspection gauge is designed to inspect tool holder taper diameters for wear and other potential problems. Verifying tool holder tapers are correct can help to maximize spindle life and improve part finish. Please note that the taper inspection gauge will only check diameter on two planes along with taper angle. The gauge will not detect nicks or localized damage to the taper. We recommend using series 430.110 taper sleeve gauges in conjunction with the taper inspection gauge for this purpose. The tool holder taper inspection gauge includes the Fixture Base and two Indicators (0.002mm or 0.0001 inch resolution). An optional 430.110 certified Taper Master is strongly recommended for zeroing the Indicators. If a master is not available, a knowngood tool holder can be used in place of the master.

Collet Force Gauges

<b>The original ForceCheck collet force gauge has been replaced by application-specific versions. </b> <br> <b>For hydraulic tool holders and milling chucks:</b><br> <a href="https://tacrockford.com/product/gauges/force-check/hydraulic-tool-holder-force-gauges/">Series 495.250 ForceCheck Hydraulic Tool Holder Force Gauges</a> <br><br> <b>For workholding collets:</b><br> <a href="https://tacrockford.com/product/gauges/workholding/forcecheck-worholding-collet-force-gauge/">Series 495.245 ForceCheck Workholding Collet Force Gauge</a> <br><br> With the ForceCheck collet force gauge, the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders can be measured to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling ISO standard requirements. Available in complete sets for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 10 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm and other diameters. The ForceCheck collet force gauge allows tool holder and workholding collet holding force to be quickly and easily measured. <br><br> Because it is problematic to measure, this critical holding force is typically not checked, even though it plays an important role in manufacturing repeatability. <br><br> TAC Rockford, makers of the ForceCheck drawbar clamping measurement system, offers a simple, efficient, and consistently accurate collet force measurement unit. <br><br> With this system you can accurately and consistently measure the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling your company's or customer's ISO standard requirements. <br><br> Complete sets include a durable display with standard 9 volt battery, connecting cable, carrying case, and measuring bar. <br><br> Individual measuring bars for any size diameter are available.

ForceCheck Hydraulic Tool Holder Force Gauges

Hydraulic tool holders are an excellent ultra-low option with added benefits such as vibration damping and ease of use. One of the major challenges with hydraulic holders is determining if they are still functioning correctly over time. Failure of the hydaulic holding mechanism is often not apparent until cutter slippage occurs, potentially causing damage to both the holder and a scrapped workpiece. ForceCheck hydraulic tool holder force gauges provide a quick and reliable way to verify a tool holder is still operating correctly. The sensor measures the force at the center of the hydraulic sleeve. Using the gauge is as easy as inserting the sensor in the hydraulic holder. Once the actuation piston compresses the hydraulic fluid in the expansion sleeve, the resulting force is shown on a handheld digital display. The measured force can be compared to a new or known-good hydraulic tool holder.
