Built for Performance: Tools and Accessories That Keep Your CNC Machines Running Smoothly
In today’s manufacturing world, CNC machines enable factories to produce parts with speed and accuracy. But machines alone cannot do everything. Many small tools and accessories work quietly in the background to keep things running smoothly. These accessories are not always visible, but they are very important for your machine’s life, performance, and output.
At Kuvam Technologies, we recognize the importance of every component in the production process. In this blog, we will talk about the most useful tools and accessories that help your CNC machine stay in good shape and produce better results.
Let’s understand 9 Must-Have Tools to Boost CNC Machines’ Performance
Tool Gripper – Helps in Fast Tool Changing
The Tool Gripper is used in machines with an automatic tool changer (ATC). It holds and releases the tools during the changing process. A good tool gripper makes sure the tool is held tightly and changes happen quickly.
Why it is important:
- Saves time in tool changing
- Keeps the tool stable during cutting
- Supports fast and smooth machine operation
Tool grippers made for HSK and ISO types are common in industries that need high accuracy.
Analog Clamp Force Meter (Clamprite Gage) – For Safety and Machine Health
This tool checks how tightly the spindle holds the tool. If the grip is weak, the tool might slip or fall out, which is dangerous and can damage parts.
Benefits:
- Easy-to-read analog display
- Quick and simple check
- Helps prevent accidents and machine breakdown
It is a very useful tool for regular machine check-ups and maintenance.
Clamp Force Meter – Prevents Tool Slippage
A clamp force meter (digital or manual) is used to check how strong the holding force is in the chuck or spindle.
Why you should use it:
- Ensures a strong grip on the part or tool
- Improves product quality
- Helps in repeatable, accurate machining
It helps avoid mistakes and maintains high-quality output.
Hydro Pneumatic Booster Cylinder – Small Size, Big Force
This cylinder gives a strong force using air (pneumatic) and oil (hydraulic) together. It is helpful in fixtures and clamps where space is limited but high pressure is needed.
Main features:
- Small in size but gives high power
- Good for automation setups
- Requires less maintenance
This tool is widely used in systems where high clamping pressure is required.
Hydro Pneumatic Booster – Increases Pressure Where Needed
This tool takes air pressure and converts it into higher hydraulic pressure. It is used when you want more pressure but do not have a full hydraulic setup.
Advantages:
- Saves space
- Easy to fit in existing systems
- Good for retrofitting
It helps improve the performance of your clamping and automation processes.
Tool Fingers (HSK 63F, HSK 63A, ISO 30) – For Smooth Tool Holding
Tool fingers help hold and release the tool holder in automatic tool changing systems. Different types are used for different spindle tapers.
Types Available:
- HSK 63F
- HSK 63A
- ISO 30
Why is it important:
- Gives a firm grip
- Ensures smooth tool changes
- Reduces tool change problems
If the tool fingers are damaged or worn out, the tool change will not happen properly.
Tool Holders (HSK 63F, HSK 63A, ISO 30) – Start of Precision
A tool holder connects the cutting tool to the machine spindle. It needs to be strong and balanced so that the tool runs smoothly and accurately.
Main points:
- Reduces vibration during cutting
- Balanced for high-speed cutting
- Long-lasting and reliable
A good tool holder is very important for getting the right finish and for keeping the tool and spindle safe.
Water Chiller (1500 Watt) – Keeps Machine Cool
As machines run, they produce heat. A water chiller helps cool the spindle and other parts to avoid overheating.
Benefits:
- Keeps temperature under control
- Increases machine and tool life
- Gives better machining results
Our 1500-watt chiller is compact and easy to maintain. It is a must-have for high-speed operations.
Pulley – Smooth Power Transmission
Pulleys are used in belt-driven spindle systems. They help transfer power from the motor to the spindle smoothly.
Why it helps:
- Controls machine speed
- Reduces noise and vibration
- Easy to install
Though simple, the pulley plays an important role in your machine’s performance.
Many people focus only on the big parts of CNC machines. But in reality, small accessories make a big difference. These parts help in keeping the machine running smoothly, improving quality, and reducing unplanned stoppages.
At Kuvam Technologies, we believe that the right accessories can improve your machine’s output and life. We provide top-quality accessories that work well with all kinds of CNC machines.
If you want to make your CNC machines more efficient, safer, and more accurate, then focus on the details. Because in machining, every small part matters.
