Bilz

Bilz is a German maker of precision tool holding and clamping tools for metal cutting machines. Its website is offered in ten languages, which shows it serves customers in many countries.

The main product range is built around holding a tool firmly in a machine. Bilz makes shrink chucks and the shrink units used to heat and fit them. It also makes tapping chucks, CNC tool holders and quick change drilling chucks. Clamping tools for minimum quantity lubrication, known as MQL, are also in the range.

Other products include ratchets, compressed air couplings, taps and floating holders. A presetting unit called the BTC is sold for setting tools before they go into a machine. The company also lists measuring technology and its SmartTools line, plus accessories for its holders.

Bilz organises its offer by job as well as by product. Its solutions pages cover column drilling machines and hand drilling, precision engineering, marking, assembly, series production, automation, and profile machining or polygonal drilling. The company also has a customer solution section for special requests.

Customers can use an online product finder to search the range. The company offers CAD data and a shop. It also has news and sale pages, and a section about trade fairs the company attends.

The website does not mention aircraft or aviation work. Readers who need tool holding for aerospace machining should ask the company directly about suitable products.
