Abstract / scope
ISO 12164-4:2008 specifies dimensions for receivers with taper and flange contact surfaces for hollow taper shanks in accordance with ISO 12164-3 to be applied to machine tools (e.g. turning machines, turning-mill machines). A range of sizes is given.
ISO 12164-4:2008 specifies the receiver of type T. It is for automatic tool exchange and manual clamping, which is achieved via holes in both the receiver and the tool shank.
