THINK SIZE MATTERS? THINK AGAIN – NIKKEN’S MICRO VC HOLDER PROVES PRECISION COMES IN SMALL PACKAGES!

NIKKEN are excited to announce their new Micro VC Holder, a micro tooling range designed for high precision, reliability, and high-performance micro machining. Setting a new benchmark for the industry, the Micro VC Holder offers exceptional precision, balance, and efficiency for industries where perfection is paramount. Whether crafting intricate components for luxury timepieces or producing highly detailed medical instruments, the Micro VC Holder ensures flawless results with minimal runout (3μm at 4xDiameter) and high-speed performance (up to 50,000 RPM).

Compact Yet Powerful: The Future of Micro Machining:

Designed to support the latest generation of micro machine tools and high-speed spindles, the Micro VC Holder is available in monobloc and straight shank variants. This versatility allows manufacturers to achieve enhanced accuracy and cost savings by eliminating the need for extended length cutting tools, which can be crucial in both watchmaking and medical applications where micro-level precision is essential. Despite its small size, this powerhouse of a tool holder packs a serious punch when it comes to stability, accessibility, and efficiency.

Performance That Speaks Volumes:

By improving tool performance, the Micro VC Holder allows manufacturers to boost productivity while maintaining the highest levels of quality and surface finish. This is particularly advantageous in high-volume medical manufacturing, where maintaining precision across large production runs is crucial, as well as in the luxury goods sector, where even the slightest imperfection can compromise brand reputation. The reduction in vibration, through in-built damping, and reduction in tool wear means extended tool life and lower replacement costs- delivering financial benefits that directly impact profitability. In other words, bigger isn’t always better- sometimes the smallest tools bring the biggest advantages.

Small but Mighty: HSK-E Symmetry for Ultimate Stability:

Furthermore, the Micro VC Holder incorporates the HSK-E symmetrical tool holder shank, which eliminates drive slots, tooling holes, and timing notches. This results in superior balance and reduced vibration, critical for maintaining flawless finishes on watch components and ensuring the tight tolerances required for surgical tools and implants. The advanced 8-degree collet system further enhances grip and stability, reducing tool deflection and extending tool life.

NIKKEN’s Micro VC Holder proves that size really doesn’t matter- at least when it comes to tool holding technology. Whether you’re machining the gears of a luxury timepiece or ensuring the flawless finish of a surgical implant, this small but mighty innovation delivers big results. Because when it comes to micro-machining, good things really do come in small packages!
