en.Wedoany.com Reported - Platinum Tooling Technologies, Inc., the exclusive importer of Heimatec live tooling and angle heads, will exhibit a complementary range of products at Booth #432201 at the 2026 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2026), designed to enhance the performance of Swiss-type CNC lathes from popular brands such as Citizen, Star, and Tsugami. In addition to live tooling and angle heads, the company will also showcase speed increasers with ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, reaching maximum speeds of 48,000 rpm, to boost productivity in busy workshops. Live and static tooling and speed increasers for Swiss-type machines are stocked in Platinum Tooling's Chicago warehouse and numerous supply chain channels, serving the North American machine tool market.
Platinum's Swiss-type tooling is manufactured using high spindle bearing technology and ground gear components, including straight and 90° heads, woodruff key cutters, thread whirling tools, multi-spindle heads, and adapters.
As the application of Swiss-type machines grows in the medical and other high-precision, high-volume manufacturing sectors, speed increasers have become critical in this segment of the machine tool industry. Smaller component sizes necessitate correspondingly smaller cutting tools, requiring higher speeds for optimal performance. Heimatec speed increasers for Citizen, Tsugami, and Star machines are stocked at Platinum Tooling and are renowned for their stability and enhancement of precision tool performance.
The company also offers Hommel + Keller QUICK® knurling and marking tools. Cutting and forming knurling tools are used for applications such as barbells, hand tools, and dental instruments; marking tools aid in part identification and traceability. Part numbers, logos, and other production data can be marked more reliably and quickly compared to laser marking.
Furthermore, Platinum Tooling stocks components such as collets and guide bushings under the Tecnicrafts and Dunner brands, suitable for various Swiss machine brands and diverse material processing.
