U-tec adapters Featuring 360 degrees of maneuverability, Heimatec's U-tec angle heads are compatible with most automatic tool changers and include torque arms and a stop block. The system allows a standard ER output live tool to accept various adapters for different applications, and provides access to items and areas within the mold, even around tight corners.What's new? The compatiblity of all U-tec flexible adapters with Heimatec's right-angle heads. Every adapter in the system is now available in shell mill, face mill, ER extension, side lock, shrink fit, hydraulic and blank styles. (Pictured is a CAT 40 tool with a small face mill adapter.)
Benefits Quick changeovers, lower costs and additional capabilities, especially to U-tec users doing deep hole drilling with extended tools. Using the tools, mold makers save labor and time because they do not need to move big molds to complete finishing work. Instead, the tools give mold makers the ability to reach within the molds themselves.
