ForceCheck gauges from TAC Rockford are for preventive maintenance on machine tools, such as the power draw-bar spindle interface, chucks/turning-centers, and other machining applications. Since some spindles and turning-centers are standard, and other force measuring requirements might be unique, we offer an expansive product line of gauges to suit the needs for anyone in the machine tool industry.

Why Check Drawbar Force?

Is your power drawbar working correctly?

Improve tool life and part finish

Correct tool holding force ensures that the spindle-tool holder interface is as rigid as possible. A rigid interface will improve tool life by reducing chatter and excess wear, and in turn improve workpiece finish.

Protect your spindles and ensure machining accuracy

Insufficient tool holding force can quickly wear or damage the critical spindle taper resulting in loss of machine accuracy and an expensive repair bill.

For the HSK taper, wear and damage on the spindle taper are even more detrimental. The HSK taper relies on an interference fit between the spindle and tool holder tapers, meaning drawbar force must be sufficient for the tool holder to properly seat. Because the HSK interface seats both on the tool holder taper and flange, dimensional tolerances are extremely tight. For HSK forms E and F, correct clamping force is crucial because there are not drive keys or dogs to transmit torque–the system relies entirely on the power drawbar's holding force.

Predict problems with the spindle's Belleville / disk spring stack

Machining centers with automatic tool clamping systems typically use Belleville/disk spring stack to hold a tool in the spindle, with a hydraulic cylinder used to overcome the spring force to unclamp the tool.

High RPM is often an important design criterion for a spindle, meaning the use of small diameter bearings makes sense from an engineering standpoint. Small bearings necessitate the use of small diameter springs to fit into the spindle arbor. Small-diameter springs lead to highly stressed springs for tool clamping, and even more so during tool unclamp.

A typical drawbar spring stack is designed to last approximately 1 million cycles. This may sound like a big number, but tool changes add up quickly. An example: a process with 3 to 4 tool changes per minute (many do much more), with 2,000 operating hours per year (one shift), means between 360,000 and 480,000 cycles are made per year. In this scenario, the springs have reached the end of the design life cycle and should be replaced after two years. We have found some processes that reach 1 million cycles after 6 months–with the complaint that the "springs break all the time."

Springs will not break all at once. Initially only one spring might break without significant impact on tool holding force. However, soon others will break since they have to do the work of the broken spring (or springs) as well. The rest of the springs will be overloaded and break or take a permanent set.

This failure process can be detected with a clamping force measuring device and action be taken before the clamping system fails completely.

Check for the role that friction plays in the clamping system and for proper lubrication

Some drawbar designs use a mechanical force intensification mechanism to increase tool holding force. When force intensification is used, friction is a factor to be watched. It is difficult to quantify friction without measurement. Machine builders typically provide a tool holding force specification for properly lubricated and adjusted clamping system.

Most power drawbar systems with HSK tapers use force intensification in the gripper design. The mechanical intensification of the force is typically between 3 and 9 times, making friction a major factor in the proper operation of the system.

For systems with manual HSK grippers such as those supplied by Mapal and Guehring, periodic verification of correct tool holding force is also of critical importance. Per manufacturer recommendation, tools should be clamped using a torque wrench to ensure correct force. However, if the gripper is not properly lubricated, tool holding force will be much lower at the specified torque.

Operator safety

Eventually, the tool holding system of a machine will fail catastrophically if left unchecked. There will be lots of mysterious problems such as poor part finish and broken tools, and eventually leading to the tool flying out of the spindle and damaging the workpiece, machine, or worse–injuring the operator.

Standards compliance

• The ISO and DIN HSK standards have recommended minimum clamping forces. The ForceCheck gauge can verify that these are met.
• The "CAT" steep taper standard ASME B5.50 specifically recommends using a drawbar force gauge.
• ISO 9000 compliance requires that critical machine parameters be periodically checked.

Tool Changer Alignment Gauges

Tool changer alignment gauges are used to check automatic tool changer positioning between the gripper arm, magazine, tool holder, and the spindle. 

Improper alignment results in abnormal wear on spindle and tool holder tapers, faulty clamping, dropped tools, and decreased machine repeatability – resulting in reduced productivity and expensive machine damage.

Tool changer alignment gauges from TAC Rockford make correct alignment between the spindle and automatic tool changer easy.

Because it is problematic to measure, this critical holding force is typically not checked, even though it is an important role in manufacturing repeatability. Collet Force Gauges With the ForceCheck collet force gauge, the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders can be measured to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling ISO standard requirements.

PDF Data Sheet: Custom-Built Machine Gauges (461.916) Print Data Sheet DetailsQuestionsRequest   We can build custom gauges for any machine or machine designed specifically for any application and requirements – even gauges not designed or built by anyone else! Interface options include multi-language support, multiple measuring capabilities, and any communication method. Application examples for preventative maintenance:• Workpiece holding and clamping systems: Is your machine using proper force and alignment consistently? Could wear or friction be on internal components? A gauge can be designed to fit the constraints or model of a workholding machine or part with any unique specifications. • Turning centers, spindles, and lathes: Alignment/centering, speed, force, and axial positioning are crucial measurements to test for repeatability, wear on internal or external components, and overall run-out of a machining system. • CNC Machines: Many costly and destructive damages can occur if detrimental elements of CNC machines are not checked on a regular basis – chances are, we already have a gauge designed to inspect these elements. If your machine is unique by most standards, we can easily provide a solution. • Actuators and positioning systems: Test for repeatability and accuracy under any system. Preventative maintenance gauges may also improve the threshold and operating conditions a machine system can work at, as well as test for issues before they occur and cause damage. Examples of features and options:• Rotational and torque measuring (RPM) for spindles, lathes, and turning centers • Axial positional measuring • Custom functions or features for a display • Data logging and wireless data transmission • Calibration and conversion to any measuring units or specifications • Support for multiple languages • USB, Serial, PC, and Network interfaces • Tool holder, drawbar, and spindle designs with specific dimensions, unique standards, and integration with even unsupported components • Gauges built with special materials for different environments • Machine tool integrated clamping force reading  • On-demand measuring and preventive maintenance systems Related   HSK Spindle Runout Test Arbors Available for HSK-A/C/E 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 160 and HSK-F 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160  Details  PDF (465.100)   Steep Taper Spindle Runout Test Arbors Maximum runout error 0.003mm / 3 micron / 0.0001 inch.
