In today’s machining landscape—marked by high-speed finishing, multi-axis turn-mill machines and ultra-tight tolerance demands—the tool-holder interface is no longer a peripheral detail; it’s a performance driver. The XiRay PSC Tool Holder Series is engineered to meet this evolution head-on: combining the advanced PSC (Polygon Shank Conical) interface standard with precision clamping technologies to deliver rigidity, repeatability and workflow flexibility. According to XiRay’s website, the PSC series is engineered for high-speed milling, drilling, reaming and finishing operations. https://www.xiray-tools.com/psc-tool-holder-series/ Product Overview XiRay’s PSC Tool Holder Series offers several sub-lines: the PSC one-piece shank holders, the “PSC holder for turning-mills” line and the modular PSC turning holders. All leverage the PSC interface (ISO 26623) and are designed for demanding modern machining environments. The goal: one interface platform that spans static turning, driven tooling and milling—ideal for shops rationalizing tooling across machine types. Key Features & Benefits PSC Interface Compatibility: The PSC system uses a polygonal taper shank, which improves torsional rigidity, axial/radial repeatability and supports driven tooling formats—a key advantage in turn-mill and high-precision applications. Shrink-Fit & High-Clamping Precision: XiRay highlights the PSC “Shrink Fit Tool Holders” which deliver 360° uniform clamping force, minimal run-out and support high speed / high precision operations. Versatility for Turn-Milling & Multi-Task Machines: The PSC holder for turning-mills series includes configurations like double-side turning, 45° turning and radial/axial holders, enabling one interface strategy across multiple operations. Industry Applicability: Targeted at automotive, electronics, medical device and precision-parts manufacturing—industries where tool change-over time, surface finish and tool life are critical. Why Choose XiRay’s PSC Series? For manufacturers moving toward flexible, high-mix production or multi-axis machining, XiRay’s PSC series offers clear strategic advantages: Reduced inventory and simplified tooling strategy: One interface across turning, milling and driven tooling. Improved machining performance: High rigidity + precise clamping = better surface finish, tighter tolerances and extended tool/spindle life. Faster, more predictable tool changes: The repeatable PSC interface supports quicker setups—a big plus in agile manufacturing. Best Practices & Application Tips For optimum results: ensure your machine spindle and tool-holder interface meet the PSC tolerance requirements; follow proper induction heating or clamping procedures for shrink-fit variants; in turn-mill or multi-task setups select the modular PSC turning holder family to standardize across static and driven tooling.
