Unlike traditional clamping systems, the IMS Tool Clamper offers a secure and stable grip thanks to an advanced roller bearing mechanism.
✔ Roller bearing technology ensures uniform pressure distribution around the tool holder.
✔ Prevents tool holder deformation during clamping.
✔ Minimizes stress on the tool holder taper, maintaining precision over time.
✔ The rounded design eliminates bulk and offers more workspace.
✔ Allows the operator to access the tool holder from multiple angles to simplify maintenance operations.
Tip: The tool clamper design reduces hand fatigue and makes tool changes faster and safer.
✔ Dual mounting possibilities: it can be fixed horizontally on a workbench or mounted vertically on a CNC machine.
✔ Stable and secure base for reliable tool holder management.
Tip: Mounting the tool clamper vertically on the machine is ideal in confined spaces, while horizontal installation on a workbench offers greater flexibility during tool holder maintenance.
✔ The robust structure guarantees long-lasting performance.
✔ Designed for frequent use in industrial CNC environments.
✔ Resistant to wear, vibrations, and tool impacts.

✔ Choose the most suitable installation method: horizontal (workbench) or vertical (CNC machine).
✔ Securely fasten the tool clamper using the pre-drilled holes for a stable and secure installation.
Step 2: insert the tool holder
✔ Position the CNC tool holder inside the tool clamper, ensuring it is properly aligned.
✔ Allow the roller bearings to clamp the tool holder evenly for a secure and damage-free grip.
Tip: The IMS Tool Clamper is compatible with all standard tool holders, including HSK, BT, CAT, and ISO types.
✔ Tighten or loosen tool holder nuts safely thanks to the tool clamper's stable grip.
✔ Clean tool holder tapers without the risk of slipping or accidental damage.
✔ Easily replace cutting tools while keeping the tool holder firmly in position.
Tip: Always ensure the tool holder is fully clamped before performing maintenance or tool changes.
