Haimer Safe-Lock™ and Duo-Lock™ Technologies
Increase metal removal rates, reduce machine downtime and gain best price-performance ratio
Duo-Lock™
Haimer Duo-Lock™ technology reduces the increasing costs of carbide tooling by delivering a modular interface for cutting tool heads, particularly in deep-reach applications with extensions and collets available in multiple sizes. Machinists can change the cutting tool heads directly in the machine tool with the highest repeatability on the Z-axis.
- Wide range of geometries and dimensions. Easy exchanges without time-wasting preset
- Patented thread design, combined with the third contact area in the back, delivering high stiffness and accuracy
- Modular system provides more than double the metal removal rate compared to other competitive systems when combined with high-performance cutting tools
- Double-cone connection means superior stiffness. Achieve more metal removal
Safe-Lock™
If you want to take a high-performance cutting to a new level of productivity by eliminating scrap, damage to machines, and poor accuracy, the key is keeping the cutting tool firmly in place with the Haimer Safe-Lock™ system as the first toolholder engineered to overcome micro-creeping to enhance high-performance cutting (HPC).
- Special clamping system that locks the milling cutter in place – allowing you to shorten conventional cycle times by at least 15% with up to 100% more metal removal capabilities and thus reducing machining costs
- Patented design allows you to use the full cutting depth of your end mill without fear of losing control of it
- Cutting tools with Safe-Lock™ grooves are available from Haimer, and over 20 high-end cutting tool manufacturers are licensed to provide their tools with Safe-Lock™ shanks
Haimer Mill
The high-strength solid carbide Haimer Mill end mills can be equipped with a Straight Shank, Weldon Shank or the well-known Safe-Lock shank. The Haimer Mill is developed to be one tool for every type of application – ramping, drilling, milling or slotting. Discover the new aggressive milling capabilities due to the unique cutting-edge design that allows for unmatched chip removal for multiple materials.
- Haimer Mill is designed to run in all industries, as well as tool and die, photo-etch, aerospace, automotive, machine shops and so much more
- High-quality carbide cutting edges from Haimer provides excellent chip control. Solid construction provides great stability and long tool life

Duo-Lock™ Demo
Duo-Lock™ maximizes a carbide tool’s full potential with productivity gains in roughing and finishing. It provides high load capacity and rigidity when machining at high metal removal rates. When combined with high-performance cutting tools, Duo-Lock™ provides more than double the metal removal rate in common milling applications compared to competitor’s systems.

Safe-Lock™ Demo
Haimer's revolutionary patented Safe-Lock™ technology keeps the milling cutter safely secured in the tool holder through the form fit with the increasing accuracy of specialized high-performance tool holders and clamping systems, such as shrink-fit, high precision collet chucks, or hydraulic chucks. In addition, this cutting tool increases cutting depths up to 100%, dramatically increasing metal removal rates.

Haimer Mill Demo
The 42CrMo4 steel workpiece with the tensile strength of 720 N/mm2 is machined within 1 minute 41 seconds. All applications (ramping, drilling, trochoidal milling and slotting) were made by our 12mm dia. Universality is no problem for the Haimer Mill. The workpiece was clamped with a mechanical bench vise. The air was blown through the spindle nozzles during the milling operation for cooling.
