1888 Press Release - Benz Inc. announces their new HF103 Solidfix® Spindle Motor, which enables users to change tools quickly using adapters that hold a variety of tools rather than using an expensive automatic tool changer or a labor-intensive manual tool. BENZ will have the HF103 Solidfix Spindle Motor on display at this years IWF tradeshow.

German tooling systems expert BENZ Inc. has announced that it will be introducing new aggregate heads including the BENZ HF103 Solidfix® Spindle Motor at this year's International Woodworking Fair (IWF), which is being held August 20 -23, 2014, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA. The new HF103 Solidfix® Spindle Motor is sold exclusively by BENZ and enables users to change tools quickly using adapters that hold a variety of tools instead of requiring a labor-intensive manual tool change or adding an expensive automatic tool changer. BENZ will have the HF103 Solidfix® Spindle Motor on display at booth #7544 during the IWF show.

The HF103 Solidfix® Spindle Motor is the latest innovation from BENZ, which has been the manufacturer of the most widely used drill blocks and aggregates worldwide for more than 40 years. "The BENZ HF103 Solidfix® Spindle Motor offers an affordable alternative to an automatic tool changer," explained Bob Barone, Sales Manager of BENZ Inc.'s Wood Division. "The operator simply programs a "pause" in the machine routine when it is time for a tool change. The machine software can then tell him what tool to insert in the spindle and he is ready to run again."

The patented BENZ Solidfix® modular quick-change system lets the user preset tools for precise, repeatable cuts and change tools in 10 - 20 seconds. It requires no special tools, can be operated with one hand, incorporates both a 180-degree clamp lock and ejection features, and contains no screws to lose.

Instead of traveling to a tool changer rack, the spindle can be programmed to move to a home position where the operator can quickly change tools and resume the routine. It helps reduce set-up time by 90% and enables users to produce additional parts every day. Its rigid, compact, balanced design also provides large multi-surface contact with high-torque and high-speed performance.

The HF103 is more flexible than a collet shaft without the added costs and implementation of an automatic tool changer. Compared to the typical drawbar spindle motor, the HF103's brushless motor is practically maintenance-free and includes one ER-32 Solidfix® adapter.

BENZ Inc., a member of the Zimmer Group, is the technological leader for the production of innovative machining heads for the wood, plastics, composites and metalworking industries. The company manufactures tooling systems in Germany and offers sales and support for the United States and Canada through its subsidiary, BENZ Inc., from its Charlotte, NC headquarters.
