Mazak (BMT Static)
BMT is the newest technology for Mill Turn machine and it is a more rigid solution. When mounting the tool holder to turret, the operator uses four screws to tighten the tool holder, which is located and further secured with locating keys present on the turret face.
These keys eliminate the need for indicating the toolholder to straighten it, which is most often necessary with VDI tool holders.
The Operator does not need to adjust the straightness for the BMT toolholder. BMT holders are more rigid, and often used for heavy duty cutting. The precision is straight fixed, with no need to adjust the straightness.
