These types of machines are found in metalworking, woodworking, stone cutting, and carbon fiber fabricating shops.
Drawbar force measurement has been made much more important in recent years with the introduction of radically higher RPM machines.
Any metal or wood working machine that takes advantage of the HSK taper system should be routinely checked.
The slightest stroke mis-adjustment, dirt, or slight wear of the drawbar system can result in significantly reduced holding force.
A preventative maintenance schedule, with a strict timetable for testing is a necessity when operating any type of high speed machine utilizing the HSK system.
