This standard specifies the dimensions for modular taper interface with ball track system: tapered shanks for automatic and manual tool exchange to be applied on machine tools.
The purpose of this document is to ensure compliance of the manufacturing accuracy and quality of the modular taper with the ball track system tool interface.
The modular taper with ball track system design originated from a joint development effort between two prominent tooling manufacturers in 1985. The benefits to be achieved by the joint development effort were to offer a complete but flexible tooling system-to-machine connection by joining the strengths of two tooling suppliers for the European and North American markets. The modular taper with ball track system product was first introduced at exposition mondiale de la machine-outil (EMO) in Milan in 1987.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document can involve the use of a patent concerning the modular taper with ball track system.
