Stop Rods
The stop rod adjusting system allows the shrinking depth of the tool to be set to avoid the use of stop end screws that could generate constraints on the tool shank after the cooling of the Shrinkfit holder.The stop rod adjusting system includes a setting wheel that provides a 60-mm adjusting range of the fitted stop rod and a set of stop rods.
Pack 1 has one operating station with shrink depth setting. In Packs 2 and 3, all three stations of the rotary plate have shrink depth setting. A required stop rod is fitted into the shrink depth setting system and adjusted to the required depth via the setting wheel. A depth comparator or ruler, available as an accessory, is used to control the stop rod front-end position in reference to the holder’s front face.
The tool shank will bear onto the stop rod front-end when fitted into the holder during the shrink-grip cycle. The stop rod can also be used during the shrink-release cycle to push a broken tool out of the holder.
