Pre-requisite for optimal machining is perfect tool clampingand a reliable coolant delivery. Tests with customersshow that clamping and lubrication is often insufficientfor the machining operation. Therefore, Guhring hasdeveloped a comprehensive range of measuring andinspection instruments enabling a quick, simple andaccurate measurement or inspection on the premisesof the customer. Defects can be recognised early andeliminated in order to prevent a reduction in cuttingparameters and tool life or even damage to machine,clamping systems as well as tools.SENSO-SHRINK 3000 simply, quickly and accuratelydetermines the clamping force of the shrink fit chuckby measuring the bore volume. The measuring resultdisplayed by SENSO SHRINK 3000 is the deviationpercentage from the nominal value of a reference chuck.ToolholdersThe hydraulic clamping technology offers, thanks to itscompletely closed design, the system is impervious,requires low maintenance and guarantees longevity.Following many years of general use, however, thermaland mechanical influences can lead to a reduction in clampingforce.SENSO-SHRINK 3000 offers the user the followingbenefits: fit chuck clamping force directly on the customer‘spremises, shrink fit chucks, holder, at any time.The new Guhring SENSO 3000 measuring instrumentoffers an accurate, quick and simple as well as consistentmethod of measuring the clamping force. An addedadvantage is the mobility of the system, i.e. for measuringwithin machines and fixtures.SENSO 3000 determines the clamping force of thehydraulic chuck via a pressure sensitive plug gauge. Theentire length of the plug gauge is clamped in the hydraulicchuck so that when tightening the clamping screw theclamping presure of the chuck is optimally applied.280The clamping force measuring instrument displays theclamping force as an absolute measurement value on theone hand and as a percentage clamping force in relationto a reference value that can be set individually on theother.Guhring has developed the PQ 3000 instrument for quick,simple and direct checking of the existing coolant pressureand rate of flow for tools with internal cooling. The checkis carried out when the actual tool is clamped directly in
