Horn is focused on equipping Swiss-type lathes with a precise, repeatable and stable quick-change system. That system, the taper-planned-contact with cylindrical support, is said to offer high-precision and repeatability within 3 microns. According to the company, the inclusion of a slot and pin design stabilizes the system’s angular alignment position. The company’s adapters can be preset and measured outside the machine for improved productivity. The clamping design is said to enable safe and easy exchanging of the head with one hand.
