Iwaki, Japan – April, 2025 – Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Head Office: Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture) announces the expansion of its product lineup with the launch of TungJetShrink, a high-efficiency shrink-fit machine that automates the heating, cooling, and drying process in just 30 seconds, supporting tool diameters from ø3 to ø32 and available in both standard (AP type) and compact desktop (BS type) models.
Challenges and Trends
Conventional shrink fit machines have posed challenges in improving productivity due to the time-consuming cooling and drying process after tool shrink fitting. Furthermore, because all operations are performed manually, they tend to rely heavily on the operator’s skill and effort, which has led to growing demand for automation. Given these circumstances, the machining industry is seeking more efficient and user-friendly shrink fit machines, with reduced operation time and simplified procedures becoming major themes across the market.
