IMPORTANT – TECHNICAL NOTES
POWER REQUIREMENTS & HEATING SPEEDS
ShrinkPRO Models 00500 and 00600 have been designed to operate on a wide range of power supply
voltages. They will operate on
380VAC 3 phase through 480VAC 3 phase power.
We recommend 480 VAC,
3 phase, 20 amp connection for optimum performance at all shank sizes. 480VAC 3 phase power has
the highest heating capacity for all sizes of our toolholders.
The maximum power output exceeds 13,000
watts, when supplied with 480VAC 3 phase.
NOTE: Do not activate the heat controls without a toolholder in position.
AUDIBLE FEEDBACK
During operation, ShrinkPRO machines power source generates an audible feedback tone that changes
frequency depending on the toolholder size and temperature. It is not unusual to hear a pitch change as
the toolholder temperature increases. Do not be alarmed if you hear this tone as it is normal.
SHRINKFIT TOOLHOLDERS
Techniks ShrinkPRO machines make it easy and safe to perform shrink fit tool changes without causing
damage to the toolholder or cutting tool, as long as the machine is correctly installed and proper operating
procedures are followed.
ShrinkPRO machines are designed to work best with Techniks shrinkfit toolholders made from H13 tool
steel with bore diameters from 1/8” to 1-1/4” (3mm to 32mm). They are designed for shrink fitting tools
with carbide shanks. Tool shank diameter tolerance is critical. At least an H6 tolerance is advised for
optimum performance.
Make sure toolholders are clean and free from defects before inserting the tool in the toolholder. If debris
or a burr is inserted into the toolholder with the tool, tool-life may be reduced. Damage to the tool or
toolholder may also occur as the tool may be difficult or impossible to extract.
NOTE: Toolholders must be at room temperature before attempting to extract the cutting tool.
CUTTING TOOLS
Cutting tool shanks must be perfectly clean and free from burrs, scoring, or any damage. Any imperfections
in the shank can cause the cutting tool to lodge permanently in the toolholder. Burnished shanks can slip
in Shrink Fit holders under some conditions. Sand blasting the cutter shanks has improved the holding
power.
Techniks ShrinkFIT holders are made of H13 tool steel, tempered at >1000˚F. Heating a toolholder to or
above temper point will permanently damage the holding power of the toolholder. Never use an alternate
heat source on shrink fit toolholders or damage to the toolholder and cutting tool may occur.
