KELCH launches further products on the Tool-Arena platform

Safecontrol 4.0 and VariTUL are available from October

The system manufacturer KELCH GmbH is expanding its product range on tool-arena.com, the innovative, vendor-independent technology platform for the machining industry. From October, KELCH will be offering its Safecontrol 4.0 digital measuring system for the measurement of pull force via the platform for the first time. A further new product in the Tool-Arena range is the versatile VariTUL tool transport system. Smart technology search functions and an extensive 3D database ensure that customers can find their way easily around the platform and obtain high-quality information.

The Safecontrol 4.0 measuring system for the measurement of pull force of machine tool spindles, extensions, reducers and zero point clamping systems contributes significantly to quality assurance. “Safecontrol 4.0 is of interest to a broad group of Tool-Arena customers. The system is simple to operate and contributes to improved machining quality and longer component and machine tool services lives,” explains KELCH Sales Manager Thomas Herde. Poor clamping force can adversely affect the quality of cuts, milled edges and surface quality etc. It can also often cause unfavourable gravitation during the machining processes – and often companies cannot immediately identify the cause. In these and similar cases, the measurements taken with Safecontrol 4.0 provide information about the measures to be taken so that production processes can be quickly returned to normal operation. If required, businesses can save and document the data by text file, app or QR code. Users need only one base unit for all taper interfaces and machines with a clamping force of 0-100 kN, which is designed for all adapters (HSK, PSC and SK).

VariTUL for successful workshop logistics
The KELCH VariTUL, which is now also being sold through the Tool-Arena, includes tool transport trolleys and storage systems for tool stock, in various expansion stages, coupled with individually selectable accessories. The product group comprises VariTUL trolleys with a load capacity of 250 kg and the Tulmobil tool transport trolley with a load capacity of 300 to 600 kg. “The VariTUL range of trolleys is currently the only solution on the market that provides for portable storage on several levels. Many of our customers use them to transport their workpieces,” reports Thomas Herde. The KELCH Sales Manager welcomes the extended range and intelligent add-on services on the Tool-Arena platform: “Customers looking for useful additional products to complement KELCH precision tools will find the right products here in an instant. The large range and the central access to all products makes product selection clear and efficient,” explains Niklas Vogt, Managing Director of Tool-Arena, continuing: “Our algorithm means that the platform identifies the right components and suggests them to the customer. This makes their search easier and saves time.”
