EWS.Trifix® Alignment System

EWS Trifix® is the alignment system for Gildemeister turning-milling centers. the alignment bars, which are mounted on both sides, each engage via a bevel in high-precision manufactured recesses in the turret surface. the bars are preset with preload. the spring effect of the alignment system eliminates static overdetermination. this ensures the twisted position of the tool holder without additional adjustment effort and thus significantly reduces machine set-up times. due to the high precision requirement, application for double-toothed tools is not possible. the tools are delivered pre-aligned and can be used directly.

EWS is a system partner of DMG MORI for this tool generation.
