Platinum Tooling Presi-
dent Presents Product
Lines in New Video
Platinum Tooling Technologies, Inc., recently created a video high- lighting the products they would have
shown in their booth at IMTS this year. Preben Hansen, company president, presented the various product lines Platinum Tooling offers and highlights the areas of expansion since the last IMTS show in 2018.
Hansen demonstrated the u-tec® flexible changing system for live tools offered from their flagship brand, Heimatec. The tool featured was an ER 32 output cross-working tool for a BMT style turret. While standard ER 32 collets can be used in this tool, Hansen explained the beauty of the built-in changing system designed to receive a variety of adapters for dif- ferent applications.
In addition, Heimatec offers
a wide range of static tools to comple- ment their live tools. This includes boring bar holders, facing holders, standard and half index turning tools as presented. Other new developments include CAPTO output tooling and live and static tools for Citizen machines.
The last tool highlighted from the Heimatec line was a machining center angle head weighing 12 pounds with an ER 25 output that can hold a 5/8” cutter. The tool can be used with al- most any automatic tool changers on the market.
The Tecnicrafts line is another area of expansion featured by Platinum Tooling. Collets and guide bushings for Swiss type CNC Lathes, specialty
