Multitasking machining
Turning and milling machining centres are revolutionising the manufacturing industry and offer advantages that conventional machining methods simply cannot match.
With our extensive and powerful standard tool range, we help you to translate these advantages into chips.
Tool holders ISO-12164-3 (HSK-T)
The HSK-T (T = Turning) standard was developed specifically for the use of vertical tools on lathes. Compared to other HSK variants, the driver play is limited and the influence on the position of the cutting edge is minimised. In addition, it is possible to mount driven tools on the HSK-T without having to modify the turret. The HSK-T interface became an ISO standard in 2008 (ISO 121 164-3:2008). HSK-T tool holders are also referred to as vertical tool holders.

Tool holders ISO 26623-1
In 1990, Sandvik Coromant introduced a polygonal hollow shank cone with a flat contact surface under the brand name Coromant Capto®, designed for all types of applications – turning, milling and drilling.
In 2008, it was standardised as ISO/DIS 26623 for ‘Polygonal taper interfaces with flat contact surface’ [ISO 26623-1:2008]. The standard previously covered flange sizes 32 to 80 (C3 to C8) and was extended in July 2013 to include polygonal shank size 100 (C10) [ISO 26623-1:2014].
Some manufacturers also refer to tool holders with polygonal shank taper as ‘rotating tool holders’ or ‘rotationally symmetrical adapters’. Tool holders with polygonal shank taper for lathes or turning/milling centres, on the other hand, are referred to as ‘fixed tool holders’.

Tool holders ISO 26622-1 - KM™
KM™ steht für "Kennametal Modular". Das erste universelle Werkzeugsystem für alle Anwendungen im Zerspanungsbereich. KM™ stands for ‘Kennametal Modular’. The first universal tool system for all machining applications. Suitable for stationary and rotating tools on lathes, rotating tools on machining centres (including high-speed machining) and modular machining centres. It offers high accuracy in all directions as well as high rigidity and application flexibility. The system is based on a 1:10 taper with a press fit and is clamped with a ball track system. It was developed in collaboration with Krupp Widia and was first publicly exhibited at the EMO trade fair in Milan in 1987 (patent application 1987; market launch 1989) and standardised in 2009 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as ISO standard ISO 26622. It is currently available in six sizes: KM32, KM40, KM50, KM63, KM80 and KM100.
The ISO 26622 tool holder with its secure 3-point contact can be used for multifunctional, turning, rotating and transfer machines in manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic modes. The ISO 26622 tool holder can utilise all the automatic functions of a machine tool, such as tool storage and handling or sensor-triggered locking mechanisms, to increase machine performance.
KM4X™ - The next generation of KM™ with the same ball track system as current KM cutting heads. KM4X™ consists of four clamping elements for better distribution of clamping force and greater rigidity. It is currently available in three sizes: KM4X63, KM4X100 and KM4X125. There is currently no ISO standard for this tool system.
