Increasing Penetration of Laser Cutting Technology May Hamper Tool Holders Market Growth

Aerospace and automotive manufacturers are increasingly shifting to fiber lasers to tackle manufacturing challenges. In areas where precision is important, fiber lasers make reliable and stable equipment as they offer best beam quality for material processing applications.

Compared to traditional manufacturing processes, fiber laser equipment offer improved energy efficiency, lower maintenance requirements, smaller machine footprint, faster cycle times for high-volume productions and improved machine lifetime.

Consequently, process speed can be maximized and material and operation costs are minimized. Thus, the growing adoption of Laser cutting technology will act as a challenge for the growth of the tool holders market.

Need for Skilled Professionals for Operation and Maintenance

Tool holders are highly used in CNC machines, lathe machines and drillers. Operators must be skilled and trained, otherwise there are chances of accidents. That apart, a significant increase in operation time can also be expected, which impacts a company’s income.

Moreover, for the maintenance and installation of tool holders, trained labor is mandatory to ensure that preventive maintenance has been done properly and machines operate to their full potential after the maintenance cycle.
