When is it the right choice?
On a Swiss-type lathe, tool space is tight, cycle times are short and every minute spent changing tools counts. BIMU delivers stable, repeatable machining with rigid insert clamping and quick-change holders.
Applications
Parting off, grooving, back turning
Turning and threading
Internal machining
Benefits
Rigid X-Centering insert clamping
Quick change mini: fast tool changes
High-pressure internal coolant (IK)
