Component Specifications

Definition
The Holder Body is the primary structural element in capillary or wedge tool holder systems, designed to provide rigid support and precise alignment for cutting tools during high-precision machining processes. It features internal channels for coolant delivery, mounting interfaces for tool retention mechanisms, and precision-ground surfaces for accurate tool positioning relative to machine spindle axes.
Working Principle
The Holder Body operates on mechanical clamping principles where internal tapered surfaces or capillary channels create uniform radial pressure to secure cutting tools. When torque is applied to retention screws or wedges, the body's elastic deformation generates precise gripping force that maintains tool concentricity and prevents rotational slippage during machining operations.
Materials
High-strength alloy steel (AISI 4140/4340), case-hardened to 45-50 HRC with surface treatments including nitriding or TiN coating for wear resistance. Alternative materials include hardened tool steel (D2, M2) for specialized applications.
