Mundelein, IL – Shrinking and unshrinking tool holders is exceptionally efficient and easy with Lyndex-Nikken’s latest Shrink Fit Machine. In as little as 2 seconds, the machine can firmly insert a cutting tool into a Shrink Fit Holder, making this unit the fastest shrink machine available.

With its patented induction coil, the shrink fit machine can handle cutter bodies made from HSS, heavy metals and carbide.  The additional benefit of the automatic cutter size detection function eliminates the need for inputting the size of the cutter shank, thus reducing set up time. The machine is compatible with all holders with varying geometries, shrinking 2 - 40mm with the same inductor.

            Designed to be Plug-and-go, the Shrink Fit Machine is equipped with a 3 phase 220V power connector for shop compatibility.  The compact table top design and the machine’s shrinking range (14.57”, shrinks .080 to 1.5”) make this shrink fit unit a versatile yet powerful tool for your shrink fit needs.

Ideal for use with the Shrink Fit Machine, Lyndex-Nikken offers a complete line of Shrink Fit Holders, including CAT40, CAT50, HSK32E, HSK63A, HSK80F, BT30, 40 and 50. They are available in multiple lengths, and in both inch and metric sizes. Lyndex-Nikken Shrink Fit Holders offer optimal balance and maximum grip characteristics. They are made in Japan with the H13 Heat Resistant Hot Working Tool Steel, and pre-balanced and balanceable up to 40,000 RPM.
