The BENZ NanoFix modular quick-change system is designed for Swiss-type tooling with a minimum spindle distance of 22 mm and makes it simple to change tools inside the Swiss lathe in as little as 15 seconds. Utilizing a Torx locking mechanism, the NanoFix adapter can be released and removed with one hand and a slight turn of the wrist. NanoFix is a smart alternative for hard-to-reach ER collets while providing greater rigidity than other quick-change devices. It features a high concentricity of 5 μm on 30 mm, repeatable accuracy, short projection and play-free centering of tapering. Tool changes can be facilitated with one hand. Nanofix adapters can be preset outside the machine, offering the ultimate in production flexibility.
