Those are solid arguments and all totally correct.

#ISO 26623 1 CAPTO ISO#
The options for milling holders are probably greater on HSK, but I've never struggled to get what I need on Capto.Ĭapto holders are generally a bit more expensive than HSK holders, all else being equal, so you need to consider that.Ĭapto is pretty much the de-facto standard on all new millturns these days anyway, and is now an ISO standard (ISO 26623, generally called PSC) rather than being a proprietary Sandvik product, which means that there are many manufacturers of Capto/PSC tools now.Īvoid KM at all costs, it is an orphaned system that never saw wide scale adoption by anybody except Mazak on early integrexes, and while Kenna still make it, you have to wonder whether they will continue to do so for very long.


The options for turning tools are much greater on Capto than on HSK-T. HSK-T is a bit of a kludge that was developed to try and match Capto for torsional rigidity and repeatability, but it falls short on both. It's just as good as HSK for milling, and much better for turning. Tool Holder Blanks for Polygonal-Shank Taper (PSK) which dramatically reduced machining time manually set up using a flange for fastening with a cam lock quick coupling, or automatically with a palletized system and special connectors.Capto hands down for millturn. Versatile application for milling, boring and end mill attachment on various metalworking operations. Universal milling cutter-holders for disc cutters and facing cutters.īuilt in various models from Ø of Minimum 32 mm and Maximum 80mm, with lenght Minimum 60 mm and Maximum 140 mm. Apart from rotating tools, the new PSC line can also be used on turning machines with a wide-ranging and complete programme with high regard to its reasonable value in general machining, civil engineering and many more.ĭAndrea Capto PSC-PF (PSK) Tool Holder Blanks ISO 26623 Features: D'Andrea MONOd’The PSC line can also be used on the “Testarossa” (TRM and Elettra) tool holder and on the Monoforce and CT shrinking lines. Like the MHD, the PSC system comes in different sizes: PSC 40, 50, 63 and 80 the size depends on the type of machining to which it is applied and/or to the type of existing ISO 26623-1/2 couplings. The comprehensive PSC line of cones, adaptors, extensions, reductions and direct coupling tools from D’Andrea are built in accordance with ISO 26623-1/2 – and compatible with the existing MHD modular system, allowing the use of both systems on the same machine tool.ĭepend on your application, each line up is composed of toolholders which are interchangeable and made of high quality material for lowest vibration and avoiding chatter. In addition, automatic ejection of CAPTO adapters ensures quick tool exchanges. Cone-style shape adds to precision and stiffness, while built-in release mechanism on outer diameter of spindle provides operator accessibility and makes it possible to lock/unlock CAPTO adapters with Allen key. D'Andrea's high value shrink fit chucks and mechanical tool holders includes monoblock rigid designs with manual tightening for the polygonal taper interface.Īlongside the existing D’Andrea MHD modular system, D'Andrea Base Holder accommodates fixed and rotary tools, and accepts all standard CAPTO/PSC adapters. DAndrea Capto PSC-PF (PSC) Tool Holder Blanks ISO 26623-1/2 Tool Holder is devised for machine tools application of milling, boring on various lathes, machining centres and boring machines with regard for excellent quality and remarkable precision levels.
