Haimer USA, Fullerton Tool Company partner on Safe-Lock

Fullerton Tool Company, a U.S. solid carbide tool manufacturer, and Haimer USA, a market leader in tool holding technology, have signed a U.S. licensing agreement for Haimer’s patented Safe-Lock anti-pullout system.

“We are very happy to have formed a partnership with Fullerton Tool. Fullerton’s precision-made tooling is well suited for the Haimer Safe-Lock system,” says Brendt Holden, president of Haimer USA. “Fullerton customers will welcome the added security and inherent balance and precision of the Safe-Lock System that will allow them to increase their shop’s productivity.”

At Fullerton, customers were realizing that increased productivity would reduce overall costs. With the use of Safe-Lock, customers feel comfort knowing that their tools are secure and will not pull out and potentially scrap a part.

“Fullerton Tool is excited to partner up with a world class tool holder company like Haimer,” says Patrick Curry, president of Fullerton Tool Company. “The combination of Fullerton Tools’ Advance Performance End Mills and Haimer Safe-Lock is a proved solution for our customers who have challenging machining applications.”

Since its creation, the Safe-Lock system has continued to grow rapidly in the U.S. market across all industrial sectors. The success of the system has largely been fueled by its popularity as more and more manufacturers recognize increased productivity due to the pull-out protection Safe-Lock provides. Safe-Lock, which emerged from the requirements of heavy-duty machining, initially made a name for itself in the aerospace and energy industries. However, cost and time savings are not solely restricted to typical aerospace applications and have also been found in typical milling applications. In particular, the increase in customers using the modern high efficiency dynamic milling strategies available from the CAM software companies have found Safe-Lock to be an absolute necessity.
