Platinum Tooling Technologies to Exhibit Heimatec Spindle Speeders at IMTS 2026

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Platinum Tooling Technologies, Inc. will showcase a range of complementary products at Booth 432201 during IMTS 2026, designed to enhance the performance of popular Swiss-type CNC lathes from brands such as Citizen, Star, and Tsugami. As the exclusive importer of Heimatec driven toolholders and angle heads, the company will also exhibit spindle speeders with ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, reaching maximum speeds of 48,000 rpm, which help improve productivity in busy workshops. Driven tools, static tools, and spindle speeders for Swiss-type machines are stocked at Platinum Tooling in Chicago and numerous supply chain locations, serving the North American machine tool market.

Platinum's Swiss-type tools are manufactured using high spindle bearing technology and ground gear components, with product types including straight and 90° heads, crescent key cutters, thread whirling cutters, multi-spindle heads, and adapters. As Swiss-type machines are increasingly used in medical and other high-precision, high-volume manufacturing sectors, spindle speeders have become a key element in this market segment. Due to continuously shrinking part sizes, the required cutting tools are also becoming smaller, demanding higher spindle speeds for optimal performance. Heimatec spindle speeders for Citizen, Tsugami, and Star machines are in stock at Platinum Tooling, known for their stability and enhancement of precision cutting tool performance.

The company also offers Hommel + Keller QUICK® knurling and marking tools. Cutting and forming knurling tools can be used for applications such as barbells, hand tools, and dental instruments. Marking tools facilitate part identification and traceability, which are critical in many industries today. Compared to laser marking, part numbers, logos, and other production data can be reliably marked in a shorter time. Additionally, Platinum Tooling stocks components such as collets and guide bushings from Tecnicrafts and Dunner brands, suitable for numerous Swiss-type machine brands and various material processing.
