Why does a clean taper matter?

The holder locates in the spindle on its taper. Residue on that surface can stop it seating fully, cause runout and be carried into the spindle taper. Regular cleaning reduces these risks.

How is the tool holder loaded?

The holder sits on its flange in the adapter in the lid; the taper points down between the brushes in the chamber.

How is cleaning started and how long does it take?

The time is set on the digital timer with TIME and SET and started with START. It is chosen to suit how dirty the taper is; there is no single fixed value.

Which tool holders can it be used with?

The cleaning unit is replaceable and chosen for the taper size: the BT50 unit has brushes trimmed to the BT50 taper, and the lid of the unit in the catalogue is marked SK40 & BT40 and BBT40 & CAT40. For other taper types and sizes we confirm suitability when quoting.

Does cleaning remove metal from the surface?

No. The brushes remove dirt, oil and deposits; there is no grinding or cutting.

01Overview

A taper care station for the machine side.

Black housing, red drive section and a cleaning chamber behind a clear guard. The forward-tilted control panel puts the timer and buttons right in front of the operator.

Clear chamberDigital timerSTART / RESET

02Control panel

Simple controls, clear display.

The time is set on the red digital timer with TIME and SET. START begins cleaning, RESET returns the display to the set time.

03The problem

The layer you do not see.

Cutting fluid, dried oils and other contaminants leave a thin deposit on the tool holder taper. It can stop the holder from seating fully in the spindle taper.

04Loading

In through the lid, taper into the chamber.

The tool holder sits on its flange in the black adapter in the lid. The taper points down between the brushes; the brushes follow the taper profile, so they bear on it along its full length.

05Start

Set the time, press START.

Enter the time with TIME ▲ / ▼ and SET. When START is pressed the brushes begin to turn and the timer counts down.

Timer

Example setting. The time is set with TIME and SET to suit how dirty the taper is.

06Cleaning

Brushes turn, deposits come off.

The planetary gear carries the brushes round the taper while each brush also turns on its own axis.
Bristle tufts trimmed to the taper profile touch the surface along its full length.
Dried oil and deposits are brushed off and stay inside the clear chamber. Brushing removes no metal; the taper geometry is unchanged.
The brushes keep working until the timer reaches zero; the drive is a high-torque DC motor with a planetary reduction gear inside the housing.

Example setting. The time is set with TIME and SET to suit how dirty the taper is.

07Result

Time is up, the brushes stop.

When the timer reaches zero the motion stops. The holder comes out through the lid with a clean contact surface for the next clamping. RESET returns the display to the set time.

08Cleaning unit

Brushes made for the taper, a replaceable unit.

The cleaning unit is replaceable: the brushes and the lid adapter are chosen for the taper size. The scene shows the BT50 unit; the lid of the unit in the catalogue is marked SK40 & BT40 and BBT40 & CAT40.

Why it matters

Clean taper. Stable clamping.

A tool holder locates in the spindle on its taper contact surface. Deposits and oil residue on that surface can stop it from seating fully, and can be carried into the spindle taper at every tool change.

The TKTM-300T brushes those residues off. As stated in the catalogue, the aim is to prevent the runout they can cause on cutting tools and to protect tool life.

Full seating

A clean taper helps the holder bear on the spindle taper over its whole surface.

No carry-over

Deposits on the holder can pass to the spindle taper; cleaning them at the source reduces that risk.

Repeatable care

Timed cleaning in a closed chamber follows the same steps for every operator.

How to use

Cleaning in four steps.
