CNC Machine Tool Holders: Types and Uses

Image
CNC machines or Computer Numerically Controlled Machines are electrical devices that can manipulate tools around a varying number of axis usually 3 or 5 with high precision instructions from a computer program. CNC machining is one of the best technique using which engineers, machinists can manufacture parts/tools using a uniform pattern of computer design file, though times are changing, and the world is moving onto 3D printing, but they are not a most economical when put into production. Hence, CNC machine and tools are the best option to select when manufacturing in a highly price sensitive country like India. CNC machine tools are mounted on the mouth of the machine where it serves the purpose of removing the additional material by milling, scrapping, sanding the solid object.   A tool holder is a short steel bar having a shank at one end by which it is clamped to a machine and a clamp on the other hand to hold small interchangeable bits.   A CNC machine tool holder is m
