Any machine tool, including turning and milling toolholders for CNC machines, cannot function independently and requires the use of machine tool accessories to facilitate the work of the operator or machine technician. Certain components of toolholders are prone to wear or damage from impacts and may need replacement. Instead of replacing the entire holder, you can replace only the damaged part, saving costs. Various tool accessories also make expensive toolholders more versatile, allowing the use of different cutting tool sizes and compatibility with different CNC machine models.

 

CNC Machine Tool Accessories

 

The main cnc machine tool accessories include:

  • Standard and High-Precision ER Collets: ER collets can clamp tools of various diameters. Standard collets are typically manufactured with an accuracy of 0.01 to 0.015 mm, while high-precision collets feature minimal runout of 0.005 or 0.008 mm. For instance, the ER25-10 collet has a clamping range of 10–9 mm (0.394”–0.354”), indicating that ER collets can also clamp tools with a diameter smaller by 0.5–1 mm (0.02”–0.04”).

  • Pull Studs: Pull studs for milling machines screw into the narrow end of the milling toolholder taper and serve as the gripping component to secure the toolholder in the machine spindle taper. As rotational components, they have a thread on one side and a head for the spindle clamp on the other. To select the correct pull stud, you need your machine’s documentation and knowledge of the toolholder standard.

  • Wrenches: Wrenches are essential collet accessories for convenient disassembly of collet chucks, specifically for loosening the nut. Using the correct wrench will extend the service life of the collet chuck nut.

  • Stands and Clamping Devices: Stands and clamping devices for tool assembly can be mounted on the operator’s workbench or directly on the machine’s external casing. A convenient tool assembly device significantly reduces setup time and makes the process more efficient.

These machine tool accessories enhance the functionality and versatility of your equipment, ensuring better performance and longevity.
