VDI DIN 69880 Static Tool Holders are fixed-position cutting tool holders designed for use on CNC turning centers equipped with VDI turret systems. Manufactured to the DIN 69880 standard — a specification issued by Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) — these holders provide a standardized cylindrical shank interface that mounts directly into the VDI turret disc without additional adapters. The term "static" means the holder does not rotate during cutting; it clamps the cutting insert rigidly in a fixed orientation while the workpiece spins on the spindle.
At Jiaxing XiRay Industrial Technology Co., Ltd, the VDI DIN 69880 Static Tool Holder series covers radial holders (B-series), axial holders (C-series), combined holders (CB and D-series), and specialty configurations. Each model is produced at XiRay's 30,000 m² manufacturing base in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, with over 20 years of metalworking tooling experience and an ISO 9001 certified quality system backing every product.
The product series is divided based on tool orientation relative to the turret.
Radial Static Holders (B1–B8) orient the cutting tool perpendicular to the turret axis, handling external diameter turning, facing, and profiling operations. Models B1 through B8 cover right-hand, left-hand, neutral, and extended-reach configurations, accommodating both square shank and round shank boring bar applications from the radial position.
Axial Static Holders (C1–C4) orient the tool parallel to the turret axis for Z-direction cutting, including face turning, end profiling, and sub-spindle back-working operations. The C4, C4-1, and C4-2 variants offer additional flexibility for angled or offset axial tool positions.
Combined Static Holders (CB-1 through CB-4 and D1, D2, D12, D1-1) merge radial and axial capability in a single holder body, allowing a single turret station to serve multiple cutting directions. The D-series models are optimized for boring bars and deep-hole turning tools requiring cylindrical round shank clamping.
VDI shank sizes available in the series include VDI 16, VDI 20, VDI 25, VDI 30, VDI 40, VDI 50, and VDI 60, with shank dimensional tolerances conforming strictly to DIN 69880 specifications for consistent fit across turret brands. The full dimensional reference can be found in the VDI Dimensional Specification of Shank documentation on the XiRay website.
All holders in this series are manufactured from high-grade alloy steel with heat treatment, delivering hardness levels that withstand heavy cutting forces without deformation. Insert pockets and shank clamping surfaces are precision-ground to achieve runout tolerance of ≤0.01 mm, which is critical for dimensional repeatability across long production runs. Surface treatment — typically black oxide or anti-rust coating — protects against corrosion in coolant-rich machining environments.
The rigid body construction dampens vibration during cutting, reducing chatter and extending insert life. Combined with correct torque clamping of the VDI shank locking screw and proper insert selection, the holder system delivers stable performance across a wide range of cutting materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hardened steel, titanium alloys, and non-ferrous metals.
VDI DIN 69880 Static Tool Holders from XiRay serve customers across automotive, aerospace, medical device, electronics, and precision parts manufacturing sectors. In automotive production, these holders support high-volume turning of engine shafts, transmission components, and hydraulic valve bodies. In aerospace and medical, they enable the precision tolerances required for titanium implants, surgical tools, and structural alloy components.
XiRay also supplies static tooling solutions for BMT-interface machines through the BMT Driven Tool Holder and Static Tool Holder category, and offers CNC Numerical Control Tools, PSC Tool Holder Series, Angle Head products, and Precision Pneumatic Grippers to support complete machine tool setups.
