Global Cnc Industries 53.6040 Vdi Static Tool Axis Holder

Product Description

The GLOBAL CNC INDUSTRIES 53.6040 is a VDI static tool axis holder designed for use on CNC turning centers and live-tool lathes that accept VDI-style tooling interfaces. Built to E3 VDI form standards, this holder provides a 61mm projection from the turret face, accommodating ER40 collet series workholding. Through-coolant capability routes cutting fluid directly to the tool tip, supporting higher cutting speeds and improved chip evacuation in demanding turning operations. The 60mm shank diameter ensures a rigid, repeatable seating in the VDI turret pocket. Licensed machinists and CNC service technicians are the primary installers of this toolholder.

This holder is suited for production turning environments where static axial tooling is required, such as turning, boring, and facing operations performed on the centerline axis. The ER40 collet interface accepts a wide range of tool shank diameters, making it a versatile station on multi-turret or gang-tool setups. Through-coolant routing makes it particularly effective in interrupted cuts or when working with materials that generate significant heat at the cutting zone. Typical applications include job shops and production facilities running medium to large diameter workpieces on CNC lathes.

Key Features

• E3 VDI form for direct turret-mount compatibility on VDI-equipped CNC lathes
• 61mm projection from turret face for standard axial tool reach
• 60mm shank diameter for rigid, repeatable turret pocket engagement
• ER40 collet series interface accommodates a broad range of tool shank sizes
• Through-coolant design delivers cutting fluid directly to the cutting edge

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style static tool axis holder for CNC turning centers equipped with VDI turret systems accepting E3 VDI form tooling with a 60mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle and turret before removing or seating any toolholder. Verify turret pocket cleanliness and seating surfaces before torquing the holder into position. If through-coolant is used, confirm that coolant passages are clear and that machine coolant pressure is within the equipment manufacturer specifications before resuming operation.
