Dust buildup is a major problem in CNC machining, especially when working with wood, MDF, laminated materials, and composite panels
Excessive dust can:
❌ Reduce tool precision, affecting cut quality.
❌ Clog workspaces and machines, leading to higher maintenance costs.
❌ Increase health risks, exposing operators to airborne particles.
The IMS Twister is an innovative dust extraction system that removes 90% of production debris during the cut, keeping the workspace clean while boosting tool efficiency and durability.

How IMS Twister Works
Unlike traditional dust collection systems, IMS Twister is an integrated solution that attaches directly to the CNC tool holder, ensuring debris is removed at the source.
✔ Creates a vacuum effect around the tool to remove chips and dust.
✔ Prevents material buildup near the tool, reducing friction and wear.
✔ Optimizes cutting performance, leading to cleaner, more precise results.

How to Install & Use IMS Twister
Installation Guide
1️⃣ Insert the IMS Twister onto your CNC tool holder.
2️⃣ Lock it in place using the IMS Twister Drive Key Locking System.
3️⃣ Ensure a proper seal by tightening with a wrench.
4️⃣ Verify the 2-10mm gap between the Twister and the workpiece.
5️⃣ Run a test cut to confirm optimal dust extraction.
🔄 Maintenance Tips for Maximum Efficiency
✔ Clean the Twister nut before and after each use to prevent dust buildup.
✔ Check for tool wear regularly to maintain high precision.
✔ Avoid using damaged or worn router bits, as this affects dust extraction performance.
✅ Pro Tip: Lowering the RPM & IPM settings can further reduce noise levels by up to 40%.
