At SIM Gdynia, we are constantly training, testing, and implementing solutions that have a real impact on the quality of CNC machining. In May 2025, our headquarters hosted a specialized technical training course organized by experts from Hahn+Kolb and Diebold, leaders in the field of tools and clamping systems.
The meeting focused on shrink fit technology and spindle clamping force control systems – key solutions for precision, repeatability, and process safety.
A practical approach to innovation
The training was attended by our technologists, setters, and foremen – practitioners who are responsible for the reliability of production at SIM Gdynia on a daily basis. The meeting was practical in nature. Specific cases were discussed, the application of Shrink Fit technology was tested on real components, and the impact of spindle clamping force on the stability and durability of machining was analyzed.
Shrink Fit is a tool clamping technology that utilizes the phenomenon of thermal expansion – after cooling, the holder clamps the tool tightly, ensuring extreme rigidity, minimal runout, and high process repeatability.
The spindle clamping force measurement system, on the other hand, allows the clamping parameters in the CNC machine to be controlled, which has a direct impact on the machining quality and service life of both the tools and the spindle itself.
Building an advantage with knowledge
We would like to thank the representatives of Hahn+Kolb and Diebold for the inspiring training and for sharing their expert knowledge. Initiatives like this are extremely important to us – they help develop the competence of our team and directly translate into production efficiency.
At SIM Gdynia, we build our competitive advantage not with words, but with action. This is another step towards even higher precision and reliability of our CNC services.
