Crowley Tool’s Modular Slide Holders, with multispline interlocking technology, set the standard for rigidity and repeatability, the company says. The interlocking design yields accurate and solid lockup of the insert module to the slide holder. A working module can easily be changed in a few seconds by loosening a drawbar and exchanging it with a preset module from the workbench, with guaranteed 0.0005" repeatability.
Crowley offers modular slide holders for all multi-spindle screw machines, as well as single-spindle Brown & Sharpe machines. Slide holders are available with micro diameter, lateral and taper adjustments, and modules feature a precision center height adjustment.
