Speed increasers

Heimatec speed increasers are now available in a complete range designed for popular live tool lathes and Swiss-style machines, offering gear ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 with maximum speeds of 48,000rpm. Design configurations include straight, offset, 90°, and universal adjustable, while tools can be produced with external or internal coolant.

As components get smaller, the cutting tools required also get smaller, necessitating higher rpm to provide maximum performance.

With the growth of medical and other high-precision, high-volume manufacturing and the use of Swiss-style machines, speed increasers have become vital to the machine tool industry. As components get smaller, the cutting tools required also get smaller, necessitating higher rpm to provide maximum performance. Heimatec speeders for Citizen, Tsugami, and Star machines are in stock at Platinum Tooling.

Speed increasers for BMT turrets including Nakamura, Miyano, DN Solutions, and Haas are also in stock. Additional models are available from factory inventory with short lead times. Engineered for efficiency and precision with the highest quality components, these tools offer increased productivity, long service life, and cost savings for the busy machine shop or OEM production department.
