Trilock Quick Change

Most know the Trilock name as a leading, quick change/preset toolholder system for screw machines. Today, Trilock holders can be found on CNC lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, special purpose machines and much more.

The products on the following Trilock pages illustrate our most popular holders, but by no means represents our limits in serving your needs. The Trilock design will allow you to implement a quick change/preset toolholder system into any machine where congested tooling is a factor. Don't waste valuable production time moving machining units, index tables, or fixturing out of the way just to change tools. Consider Trilock solutions in both standard and special designs - whatever your needs require.

Our exceptionally short tool change stroke and unique triangular location principle are just a few of the features that make Trilock the perfect preset/ quick change toolholder system for the screw machine and so much more.

Please see the illustrations below:

The Trilock components are the Base Holder, the Change Nose, the Collet, and the Nut. When correctly used in production, the base holder remains clamped on the main tool slide. While one change nose is in operation and engaged with the base holder, a tool in a second changed nose is preset to an exact length dimension outside the machine. Therefore, a correct Trilock system consists of two or three change noses and one base holder for each position.
