Mapal and Haimer have signed a corresponding licensing agreement to combine their strengths in a partnership so that Mapal will rely on the Safe-Lock pullout protection system by Haimer. The two companies will also work closer together in the future on the progression and further development of technologies and applications in the manufacturing market.
“We value the high-level expertise of Haimer – said Dieter Kress, managing partner of Mapal, second from left in the picture, along with Jochen Kress, member of the senior management of Mapal, Claudia Haimer, managing partner of Haimer, and Andreas Haimer, managing director of Haimer -. Their innovative solutions in the field of tool holders represent the perfect complement to our high-tech tools”. The Safe-Lock patented technology by Haimer has proven itself both in the market and during in-house trials at Mapal, significantly increasing productivity and tool life, ensuring absolute safety especially when it comes to high-speed cutting. Starting with October 2016, Mapal will be offering selected cutting tools for high-performance machining with the Safe-Lock shank, and as a second step, the Mapal hydraulic chucks will follow, also being designed for this type of pull-out protection.
