Heimatec axial tool with built-in U-tec system
To everything, there is a REASON…turn, turn, turn…
Here’s your best reason to stop by our booth:
At this year’s IMTS, Heimatec will display its live tooling in a unique way…a live demo on a rotating machine tool turret. Come and see the show!
Heimatec, a world leader in live tools, angle heads and multi-spindle drill heads, today announced immediate availability of its newest development, recently unveiled for IMTS.
U-tec is the company’s patented flexible tool adapter system that allows a standard ER output live tool to accept various adapters for different applications. This allows users the ability to have quick changeover of tools on almost any lathe, using a single live tool, without having to commit to a quick-change system on the initial purchase. A facemill adapter, for example, can be quickly positioned into the standard holder, without the need for a completely new base being installed. This significantly reduces inventory costs as well as changeover time, for the busy shop.
Heimatec radial tool with built-in U-tec system
The U-tec system, according to Heimatec Inc. President Preben Hansen, “…represents a real improvement in lathe and mill/turn tooling design. U-tec allows great user flexibility, while a polygonal drive system ensures extremely high power transmission stability and faster set-up with absolutely no loss in performance or accuracy, because the live tool base remains in position and only the adapter and collet get swapped.”
He went on to explain the unique collet nuts on the U-tec system have internal threading for rigid mounting and that this new tool adapter system enables the actual cutting tool to be brought into closer proximity to the bearing, thus further improving performance in use. This benefit results from the short and compact tool length design. Internal coolant up to 2000 psi(140 bar) is provided standard.
Side lock adapter
Every adapter in the U-tec system comes complete with any necessary clamping nuts and adapters are immediately available in face mill style, ER extensions, side lock, shrink fit, hydraulic and blank.
The U-tec system is available for all major turning machines on the market today. Heimatec currently manufactures over 10,000 live tool types.

Texas foundry buys new equipment, including Hunter XL matchplate molding machine, to respond to customer needs with fast pattern changes, shorter runs and on-the-fly flexibility in job scheduling, deliveries
Schaumburg, Illinois (USA)-In the heart of Limestone County sits Coolidge, Texas, halfway between Dallas and Houston. This classic American small town is home to another classic, Frazier & Frazier Industries, a ductile and gray iron foundry, established in 1972 by C.W. Frazier as a traditional cope-and-drag sandcasting operation with two squeezers and run today as a formidable shop by Plant Manager Will Frazier. An ISO 9002 Certified process operation, F&F combines the best of the old ways with the newest casting technologies and equipment in the market. As Will Frazier points out, “This is one of the biggest reasons we’ve continued to prosper, while so many other foundries have disappeared. We recognize what works and what doesn’t, to best suit our current business and market conditions.”
Once a heavy production shop, F&F today continues to support their large batch customers, but has reshaped the business model in many ways, according to Frazier. “We have traditionally worked in pieces from a few ounces up to 150 pounds or more. The large runs were more typical in days past, while we saw a new business environment emerging, several years ago, when the market began to decline overall.” He continued to explain how many of the company’s traditional customers began to reduce their inventories and thus placed shorter run orders with much tighter lead times. In something of a “perfect storm” scenario, this combination of increased job numbers and more urgent shipping requirements literally changed the pace of business at F&F. Frazier notes, “It’s not unusual for us to come in on a Sunday to finish a job for a customer who really needs it…and we rarely charge a premium, because we know how tough things are, for most of our accounts.”
While the oil & gas market applications are prominent here, as they are with most foundries in the region, F&F currently sells to end product manufacturers for the automotive, agricultural, wind energy, municipal water works and other market segments, a strategy that has helped to maintain a better balance in this shop’s workload. With its own sales force plus several manufacturers’ rep organizations in the field, Frazier & Frazier boasts customers in a wide variety of markets and as far away as Indiana, a relatively rare achievement in the foundry business, especially when larger, heavier workpieces are involved.
With over 8000 patterns in-house, F&F today experiences as many as 15 pattern changes per day per machine on the floor. This further complicated the job scheduling and work flow. Will Frazier and his team of Bob Pranger, general manager and Harlon Easton, vice president of sales, quickly saw the need for more automation in the machinery lineup.
F&F still does hand-rammed oil and air set cores, but over the years they’ve acquired automatic coresetting equipment, as well as automated molding machines, including the most recent purchase, a Hunter XL2024 automatic matchplate molding machine, which is used with the already in-place Hunter mold handling turntable system at F&F, as are other molding machines here. Three melting units feed the certified chemically correct iron to the molding stations. Currently, this shop does approximately 70% of its work in ASTM Class 60-100 ductile and 30% in Class 15-50 gray iron.
The XL2024 is a fully automated matchplate molding system, using gravity-fill technology pioneered by Hunter. It produces sand molds up to 20” x 24” with shallow 6-1/2” cope and 5-1/2” drag (165mm/140mm) at 180 cycles per hour, using 400 lbs. (181kg) of sand. Variable squeeze surface pressures to 142 psi (10kg/cm2) can be achieved in production.
This latest Hunter machine continued the tradition of leading-edge sandcasting technology used at Frazier & Frazier. Although several generations of Hunter and other brands of machines have been used here, when a new machine was planned, Will Frazier notes there were some key criteria to be met. “We’d been having critical problems with another machine builder, getting parts and service. We always knew the Hunter folks were excellent in those areas based on past experience, plus they were willing to provide considerable application engineering assistance and set-up help with the new machine. Coupling that with their stability as a company and great reputation in the world foundry market, we looked at all our options and settled on the XL2024.” Frazier further cites his long relationship with Hunter’s Mike Hughes as a factor. “Mike came down here several times to help us and, since the machine has been up and running, he’s stayed in close touch with us, even though we’ve had no performance issues with the machine.”
Will Frazier also points out that, currently, over 20% of the orders at F&F are rush and the quick changeover time of the Hunter machine makes it a highly productive piece of equipment and a definable competitive advantage in the market for his shop.
Frazier & Frazier provides its customers with metal castings as well as CNC machining, heat treating and galvanizing services, when needed. The shop has a fully equipped quality inspection department, highlighted by CMM and other state-of-the-art lab apparatus.

One job that took two weeks due to reworks now done in two days, the result of Tenaxol polymer quenchant with anti-foaming agent and greater concentration consistency
Brothers TJ (left) and Jacob Dohlun operate Complete Heat Treating, companion company to Wisconsin Steel Industries, both in the Milwaukee area. Complete operates open fire furnaces and quench tanks to process large steel castings and forgings, as well as metal fabrications and some aluminum parts.
TJ and Jacob Dohlun are not easily impressed. Despite their relatively young ages, 40 and 32 respectively, they have both worked in the family’s dual heat treating businesses in the Milwaukee area, as far back as they can remember. Their grandfather, Theodore Dohlun, started Wisconsin Steel Industries in 1939 and the family has had involvement in heat treating for three generations. Their dad Ted continued the tradition until his recent retirement and both of the “boys” have been active a long time. They began Complete Heat Treating in 2007 as a separate entity and run it with their mother, Chris Dohlun.
Both Wisconsin Steel and Complete Heat Treating run commercial heat treating operations, serving regional manufacturers in the mining, construction, wind energy, rail, government contract, medical, off-road and agricultural equipment industries. They also serve companies as far away as Brazil, however. Combined, they employ approximately 50 people at the two facilities, processing materials such as 4140 and 4340 steel in the forms of castings and forgings up to 100,000 pounds, as well as fabrications and some aluminum parts.
Never ones to rest on their laurels, however, TJ and Jake have been making significant improvements in their operations, especially on the technology side. They use a proprietary software system to operate their furnaces, they’ve incorporated a number of green initiatives into the business operation and, about a year ago, switched their polymer quenchant supplier to the originator of that chemistry, Tenaxol (Elkhorn, Wisconsin).
At Wisconsin Steel and Complete Heat Treating, they run a total of 13 open fire car bottom and feed furnaces with capacities up to 1,000,000 pounds and workspaces up to 52’ long x 20’ wide x 16’ high. Quench tanks at the facilities range up to 40,000 gallons.
Typically, hardness and mechanical specs are supplied by the customers and the metallurgists and chemists in the labs at these facilities work to determine the optimum processing conditions. Wisconsin Steel is rated to the GE Nuclear standards, while Complete Heat Treating received its ISO 9001:2008 certification just recently.
Many value-adding secondary services are supplied here, including machining, straightening, roto-blasting and saw cutting, as well as metalcoating.
The quenching operations at Complete were a particular challenge, owing to the large parts processed here, the dwell times in the quench tanks and the recurrent problems of concentration flux and, most notably, foaming and dragout. As TJ explains, “We were having a lot of problems on one part, a spun metal with thin but substantial surface area and a rimmed edge. The dragout and the excessive foaming were causing us to rework parts to hit the spec. There were shipping delays and we were struggling to hold the concentrations in the tanks for any extended period.”
Previous polymer quenchants were causing excessive foaming and were inconsistent in holding concentrations. Both problems were overcome with Tenaxol polymer quenchants, according to the brothers.
Jacob adds, “We had been talking to Tenaxol about their anti-foaming products and, despite some cost differences with our then-current supplier, we agreed to testing. Although we were not a customer, the Tenaxol team really went the extra mile to give us the best results their lab could suggest.” As a result, Tenaxol Quench 2500 Ultra polymer quenchant with a non-nitrite corrosion inhibitor, defoamer and biocide was purchased from this new supplier and the results have been outstanding, according to the Dohlun brothers. “We no longer have consistency issues, the percentages stay in line, plus we can vary the temperatures in the tanks without compromising performance. That opens more opportunities for new business and it’s been working very well.” Complete Heat Treating is currently on a record sales pace, with more customers and much faster throughput, boasting a 25% increase in sales and working capacity today. On that spun metal part, for example, TJ notes, “We went from two weeks with a lot of rework to two days on a typical batch.” Jacob adds, “The savings in staged deliveries alone run to thousands of dollars, each time.”Complete is now able to process a wider range of materials, as a result of using Tenaxol quenchants, according to the brothers, who credit Jim Harrison, CEO at Tenaxol, and his team of chemists and metallurgists with much of the significant improvement in their processing scenario.
TJ Dohlun takes a temperature measurement on a batch of steel parts in quenching.
Describing the situation when the previous quenchant vendor was used, “On that spun metal part, for example, our stacker crane would come out of the tank, full of foam. It looked like a bubble bath,” Jacob joked. TJ further noted the drain-off of the Tenaxol product allowed the parts to enter the tempering furnace much faster, avoiding excess cooling of the surface area. The Complete customer for this job, Rich Prescott of Glenn Metalcraft (Princeton, Minnesota), echoes the Dohlun’s, “The turnaround time has been super. They made great improvement in their deliveries to us over the last year and that’s helped us satisfy our customers faster.”
“This anti-foaming agent in the Tenaxol product has literally changed our shop,” TJ concludes. Jacob also cited the supplier’s customer service. “We get help from their lab on a regular basis, including water testing and support documentation, which is necessary for the PPAP requirements of several customers.” He adds, “Jim (Harrison) and his team did a lot of testing for us, before making their final recommendations and they continue to help us fine tune our operation.” He further noted Tenaxol’s involvement with MTI was important. “This supplier supports our industry and that meant a lot to us.” The supplier also provided a solution to problems Complete was experiencing in their cooling tower water by conducting lab testing, automated equipment and cost-effective chemical treatments, according to Dohlun.
As a result of this initial relationship with Tenaxol, Complete Heat Treating has expanded its purchases of products to include various greases and lubricants from this vendor, which is part of the Chemtool family of companies, a wide-ranging industry supplier of myriad lubricant, cleaning and metalcutting fluid products.
