D’Andrea S.p.A. – Precision Tooling Solutions for Demanding Machining Applications

D’Andrea S.p.A. is a globally recognised leader in the design and manufacture of high-precision tooling systems for the machining industry. Headquartered in Italy, the company has built a reputation for innovation, quality, and modularity across its product range, serving customers in aerospace, automotive, energy, mould and die, and general engineering sectors.

As a specialist in modular and high-performance tooling solutions, D’Andrea’s core offering revolves around its world-class systems for boring, milling, and tool holding. Among the most widely used and technically advanced ranges are the MONOforce tool holders, MHD modular boring systems, and the BHT high-torque facing and boring heads.

MONOforce – High-Precision Tool Holders

The MONOforce range represents D’Andrea’s line of mechanical locking tool holders, engineered for maximum precision, rigidity, and reliability in high-speed and high-accuracy machining environments.

Key Features:

  • Mechanical clamping for uniform pressure, reduced vibration, and improved surface finish

  • Exceptional run-out accuracy, typically under 5 microns at 3xD – perfect for finishing and contouring

  • Quick changeovers with precision collet sleeves to suit shank diameters, ensuring the most secure clamping force is delivered.

  • Available in multiple shank types: HSK, BT, and DIN69871 (ISO)

  • Suitable for a wide range of round-shank tools including endmills, drills, and reamers.

MHD – Modular High-Performance Boring System

The MHD (Modular High-Definition) system is D’Andrea’s flagship modular solution for rough and fine boring across medium to large diameter ranges. Ideal for machining centres, boring mills, and CNC lathes with driven tooling, MHD offers unmatched setup flexibility.

Key Features:

  • Modular architecture with adapters, extensions, reducers, and heads

  • Handles diameters from 2.5 mm to over 1000 mm, depending on configuration

  • Balanced design for optimal performance at high RPM

  • Coolant-through design for better chip evacuation and tool life

  • Fully compatible with BHT heads and U-TRONIC systems

BHT – Facing and Boring Heads for CNC Machines

The BHT (Boring Head Torque) range brings automatic radial adjustment capability to CNC machines. Perfect for facing, boring, internal profiling, and grooving, BHT heads integrate seamlessly with the MHD modular system.

Key Features:

  • Automatic radial slide actuation via spindle rotation reversals

  • Positioning accuracy typically within 0.01 mm

  • Large stroke range for versatile operations

  • Compatible with all MHD modular components

  • Designed for heavy-duty material removal with precision control.
