Lyndex-Nikken has reached an agreement to add products from Mimatic Tool Systems to its product line. Designed and manufactured to Mazak specifications in Germany, Mimatic live tools are designed to enhance the performance of CNC lathes. Mimatic live tool housings are machined from solid blocks of a special steel to achieve tight tolerances. Hardened and ground gears, precision ground spindle bearings and high performance seals result in high accuracy, rigidity, stability and durability in turning operations, the company said. Currently, Lyndex-Nikken’sMimatic live tool line accommodates Mazak QTNexus QTS, SQT, Hyper Quadrex Series, Multiplex and Cyberturn machines. Mimatic static tooling is also available from Lyndex-Nikken for these Mazak models. All of these holders are availablewithMimatic mi, a one-hand-operated modular quick-change system, to allow the user to preset tools and reducemachining downtime. Custom-made live tools can be engineered for specific applications. Along with live tools for Mazak lathes, Lyndex-Nikken stocks a range of standardized live tools for Okuma,Mori Seiki, Nakamura-Tome and other builders, including those that utilize Sauter turrets. Lyndex-Nikken’s live tool offering includes high-speed tooling, coolant feed thru tools, high pressure thru coolant, axial tools, radial tools, dual output radial tools and universal tools. Straight and offset units, modular quick-change systems and tapping quick-change holders are also available. “Mimatic and Lyndex-Nikken share a commitment to providing quality products thatmaximize the capabilities ofmachine tools,” said Scott Irie, Regional Sales Manager, Lyndex- Nikken.
