Collets improve run-out for tooling
The ER/ESX collets, manufactured to DIN 6499-B, set new standards of run-out and repeatability of 6 microns for types ER16 to ER40 whilst being priced at standard collet cost.
Crawfords is now the exclusive UK distributor for Mickros Plus spindle nose tooling, a product which offers exceptional accuracy and quality at a highly competitive price.
The range encompasses all major front and back end styles, including Ansi/DIN 69871, BT, HSK and DIN 2080.
It is manufactured using only high quality steels.
All tools are available to 0.005mm TIR as standard with extended items and products for high-speed applications being manufactured to 0.003mm TIR.
Advantage to the end-user is that high accuracy spindle nose tooling is now available at a significantly reduced cost.
This enables more companies to achieve realistic payback times from high quality tooling, assisting them in remaining competitive and profitable.
Using the Mickros Plus spindle nose tooling in conjunction with the Crawford ER collets enhances the guaranteed accuracies of 0.006mm TIR for the off-the-shelf ER collet range.
In a recent field test by a respected aerospace sub contractor, an off-the-shelf Mickros BT40-ER32 collet chuck was fitted with an off-the-shelf collet and a T.I.R reading of 0.0026mm was achieved consistently.
The user - commenting that he could not believe what he was seeing - ordered immediately the test was completed! MD of Crawford Collets, Gerry Wilkin, commented "We are delighted with this development.
It will further increase our ability to provide our customers with solutions to their problems at a realistic cost and will ensure we can continue to improve our own profitability".
