Expertise is clout of supplier

Based in Zutendaal, BIS-TECHNICS presents itself as an industrial supplier of machine accessories and cutting tools for the metal industry. The company is carried by Hendrik Bemelmans, Koen Maris and Peter Rega, a triumvirate that was able to take over the company via a management buyout in 2000. 

With trade specialization as its main credo, BIS TECHNICS is strong in some niche sectors such as automotive, mold and tool construction, where it saw a loyal clientele built up through technical support and the offer of some rock-solid A-brands. 

New to BIS-TECHNICS' range includes AUTOMATOR, an automatic marking system that allows you to mark workpieces with labels and other important information via the most diverse marking techniques, such as laser, scribe and dot pens. 

However, for Belgium, BIS TECHNICS has also been the main distributor of Hainbuch, a specialist in high-quality clamping systems for lathes, for many years according to a unique concept based on hexagonal clamping. Koen Maris: "All the properties that a good clamping system should have are united and even accentuated in the Hainbuch concept. You get less damaging vibrations and resonances, higher clamping force and less dirt build-up."

Everything has to do with Hainbuch's clamping principle, which encompasses the entire workpiece along the length of the collet and at the same time the entire diameter of the workpiece. The efficiency of this type of clamping is incomparable to that of, say, a three-jaw chuck, where you only have the three line contacts on the workpiece. 

Thus, the machining company BLEYWEERT from Tongeren had its two HAAS ST-10 lathes equipped by BIS TECHNICS with TOPlus mini 52 Axzug clamping systems from Hainbuch. An investment in time, ease of use and above all efficiency, it turned out. The results speak for themselves: collets achieve 25% more clamping force, and show no wear even after more than 500,000 fixtures. In addition, the stable clamping results in a better tool life, while maintaining tolerances where a concentricity of less than 0.005 mm is achieved.
