Angle Heads

At SAMTEC TOOLS, we offer Mimatic Angle Heads—engineered solutions for advanced milling and drilling operations. Designed to enhance the capability of VMC & HMC, our Angle Heads allow precise machining at angles that are difficult or impossible to reach with standard tools.

Our Standard Angle Heads enable complete, multi-directional machining without the need to repeatedly reposition the workpiece—saving both time and cost. For unique and high-performance applications, our Special Angle Heads are custom-built based on machine spindle configuration and user requirements. These are widely used in automobile, aerospace, and high-precision industrial applications.

With Mimatic's legacy of innovation since 1974, every tool is built to ensure maximum precision, durability, and efficiency, backed by global customer support and on-site consultancy.

FAQ

1: What are Angle Heads used for in CNC machining?

Angle Heads are attachments that allow machining at specific angles—especially in areas that are hard to access with standard tools. They are commonly used for milling, drilling, and tapping operations on CNC machines without repositioning the workpiece.

 

2: What is the difference between Standard and Special Angle Heads?

    • Standard Angle Heads: Suitable for general applications; ready-to-use with standard machine spindles.
    • Special Angle Heads: Custom-designed as per specific machine spindle configurations, cutting angles, or complex machining needs, often used in industries like automotive and aerospace.

 

3: Can Angle Heads be used on all CNC machines?

Yes. Mimatic Angle Heads are available for vertical and horizontal CNC machining VMC, HMC and can be customized to match any machine spindle type.

 

4: How do Angle Heads improve machining efficiency?

Angle Heads reduce the need for repositioning the workpiece, thereby cutting down cycle time, increasing productivity, and improving precision—especially in multi-axis operations or deep cavities.

 

5: Do Angle Heads support internal coolant supply?

Yes. Many Mimatic Angle Heads from SAMTEC TOOLS are equipped with internal coolant channels, ensuring optimal chip removal, reduced heat, and extended tool life.
