Introducing the XiRay PSC Tool Holder Series — a high-precision tool­holding platform engineered for today’s demanding machining environments. Combining the advanced PSC (Polygon Shank Conical) interface with shrink-fit clamping technology, this series delivers rigidity, repeatability and versatility across turning, milling and high-speed finishing operations. https://www.xiray-tools.com/psc-tool-holder-series/ Product Overview The PSC Tool Holder Series is designed for machines performing high-speed milling, drilling, reaming and finishing in sectors such as automotive, electronics, medical devices and precision parts manufacturing. You’ll find the offering divided into key sub-families: PSC one-piece shank holders, PSC holders for turning-mills, and modular PSC turning holders — all sharing the PSC interface standard (ISO 26623) ensuring a unified tool-holder strategy across machine types. Key Features & Benefits PSC Interface Compatibility – The polygonal shank conical coupling provides large contact surfaces, strong torsional rigidity and excellent repeatability, making it ideal for high-precision tool holdings. Shrink-Fit Technology – Uniform 360° clamping force, minimal run-out (≤ 3 µm at 3×D) and high-speed capability (up to ~40,000 rpm depending on size) ensure stable tool behaviour in demanding finishes. Internal Coolant Supply (optional) – Some variants offer through-spindle coolant to enhance chip evacuation and cooling for extended tool and machine life. Modular Flexibility – With holders for turning-mills (double-side, 45°, radial/axial) the series supports both static and driven tool applications, enabling tooling rationalisation across turning and milling machines. Why Choose XiRay’s PSC Tool Holder Series? Manufacturers transitioning into multi-axis, high-mix or multi-task machining environments will benefit from the following: Tool-holder standardisation: One interface platform covers turning, milling, static and driven tools — reducing inventory and simplifying logistics. Improved machining outcomes: High rigidity and low run-out translate into better surface finish, tighter tolerances and longer tool/spindle life. Faster change-over & higher uptime: The repeatable mounting and precision clamping of the PSC interface allows more predictable, quicker tool changes — critical in agile production. Application & Best Practice Tips To extract full value from the PSC series: Confirm your machine spindle and tool-holder interface conform to PSC/ISO 26623 tolerances. For shrink-fit variants, follow the proper heating, tool insertion and cooling sequence to maximise clamping strength and accuracy. In multi-functional or turn-mill machine setups, choose the modular PSC holders to maintain one interface standard across both static and driven tooling. In summary, XiRay’s PSC Tool Holder Series is purpose-built for modern precision machining: interface standardisation, high-rigidity tool-holding and adaptable deployment across turning and milling operations. For shops aiming to elevate precision, simplify tooling strategy and support both static and driven operations on one platform, this offering delivers a compelling technical and strategic advantage.

In today’s fast-evolving manufacturing environment, aligning your tooling strategy with the latest industry trends is more important than ever. That’s why our offering—approximately 150,000 different boring tool systems, both driven and static, compatible with VDI, BMT, HSK, BT and PSC series holders across turning centres, machining centres and grinding machines (including many specialised applications)—puts you ahead of the curve. https://www.xiray-tools.com/product/ Smart, connected tooling for tomorrow’s factory In 2025, manufacturers are increasingly adopting automation, real-time monitoring, digital twins and AI-based predictive systems. Our tooling lineup supports this shift: driven boring bars and static holders that are ready for integration into smart manufacturing environments, compatible with automated change-over, embedded sensor interfaces or high-feed machining platforms. Whether you’re running multi-axis turning, hybrid machining or precision grinding, our tooling systems align with digital factory initiatives. Material diversity and precision performance With advanced materials, tight tolerances and complex geometries becoming mainstream, tooling must deliver on capability and versatility. Reports show that advanced materials and coatings—such as PCD/CBN, nano-coatings and heat-resistant substrates—are major trends. Our portfolio covers this broad span: from static boring systems engineered for fine finishing in grinding machines, to driven tooling for deep-reach or high-aspect-ratio bores on machining centres, across all holder standards (VDI, BMT, HSK, BT, PSC). Modularity, flexibility and agility for modern production Smaller batch sizes, frequent change-overs and high-mix production are defining features of the 2025 machining landscape. To meet this, our tooling ecosystem emphasises modularity: standardised holder interfaces, driven and static variants, quick-change capabilities, and cross-machine compatibility. This means you reduce downtime, simplify inventory and respond faster when process parameters shift. Sustainability and cost-efficiency built-in The trends highlight that sustainability, tool-life optimisation and total cost of ownership are key. Our tooling systems reflect this: high-performance coatings extend tool life, holders designed for reuse across multiple machine types reduce parts complexity, and standardised interfaces help optimise stock levels. This translates to lower tooling expenditure, fewer setups and less downtime—while also aligning with eco-conscious manufacturing strategies. Coverage for specialised applications Whether you’re performing deep-bore finishing, high-precision grinding, large-diameter boring, exotic material work or hybrid machine applications, our ~150,000 variant offering ensures you’ll find driven and static tooling matched to your machine (turning centre, machining centre or grinding machine) and holder standard (VDI, BMT, HSK, BT, PSC). You’re not limited to standard configurations—you’re equipped for high-end, specialised work. In summary: if your operation demands precision, flexibility and future-ready tooling, our tool system catalogue delivers. With a foundation of ~150,000 system variants covering the full suite of holder standards and machine types—and built around the trends of smart manufacturing, advanced materials, modular agility and sustainability—you’re well positioned for the demands of today and the innovations of tomorrow.
