  • Page 14: Shrinking Principle

    SHRINKING PRINCIPLE The Shrinkfit holder’s internal diameter is designed to be slightly smaller than the shank diameter of the cutting tool. When placed into the induction heating system, the inside bore is heated and expands. The tool shank can then be slipped easily into the holder. As the holder cools down, the resulting thermal contraction exerts a tremendous, uniform pressure around the entire surface of the tool shank.

    A tilt-watch indicator is positioned on the packaging to guaranty the pallet has not been tipped over. WORKING ENVIRONMENT OF THE DEVICE The Easyshrink Evo device needs to be positioned in a dry and clean working area on a stable and rigid surface that is resistant to hot tool holders (+/-100°C (212°F)).

    When using finned support for Shrinkfit holder taper SA50 (ZFAD05S50), add 60 mm to the LFNLF value obtained. Example: Seco Tools tool holder type SFD 5403 We have previously determined that the shrinking depth LSC = 39 mm (1.54"). The gauge length LPR can be found by reading the specification or by measuring.

    SHRINKING PROCESS Choose the tool holder finned support that corresponds to your tool holder Select the corresponding heating mode to use with help of the specification located on the flange and the table above Place the finned support on the rotary plate hole Take the heat-focusing stopper corresponding to your tool shank diameter and place it in the inductor.
  • Page 21 Move the inductor housing downwards on the holder by pressing the button on the handle. The heat-focusing stopper must be in contact with the top of the tool holder. Push the Mode button until you reach the corresponding mode shown earlier in the table. Put the protective glove on, take and hold the cutting tool using the glove.

    Before using the Boost function, please ensure that your tool holder is not already hot (<30°C (122°F)) Seco is not responsible for misuse of the Boost function. The Boost function is only for one cycle Push the Mode button until you reach the corresponding mode shown earlier in the table.
  • Page 23: Shrinkfit Of Special Tool Holders

    SHRINKING FOR SPECIAL TOOL HOLDERS For special tool holders, e.g. tools with a front end that is larger than the shank, split heat-focusing stoppers are available. The use of split heat-focusing stoppers requires clearance between the tool head and the front face of the tool holder. To successfully shrink/release special tools, it is necessary to observe the following conditions: ▪...
  • Page 24 After shrinking remove the lock ring and move the inductor housing downwards , exposing the split heat-focusing stopper. Remove the split heat-focusing stoppers (caution – it may be hot). Move the inductor housing upwards to allow the toolholder to be removed.
  • Page 25: Shrink Release Of Special Tool Holders

    SHRINK RELEASE OF SPECIAL TOOL HOLDERS Move the inductor housing below the front face of the toolholder and fit the appropriate split heat-focusing stopper assembly around the shank of the cutting tool Move the inductor housing upwards so that the split heat-focusing stopper sits in the inductor housing location diameter and fit the lock ring Start the heating cycle for a standard tool.
