Welcome to Joint Production Technology (JPT)

What is a Cartridge

In the context of machining, a cartridge is a modular component that holds and secures cutting tools, inserts, or other machining elements. Cartridges are designed to fit into larger tool assemblies, such as generating heads, boring bars, tool holders, or tool blocks. Cartridges also allow for quick interchangeability, precision alignment, and custom configurations to match specific machining operations.

At JPT, our special cartridges are engineered to optimize performance, improve tool life, and provide a custom fit for your unique machining applications.
