Vice and cube systems make the best work
area use
Highly flexible modular vice and cube workholding systems make maximum use of the CNC machine tool's work area while reducing toolchanging times.
Workholding specialist Leader Chuck Systems has extended its product portfolio with its appointment as sole UK agent for the highly flexible Iram 2000 Module Vice and Cube workholding systems for CNC vertical and horizontal milling machines and machining centres Designed to make maximum use of the machine's working area while reducing tool change times by accommodating more workpieces per pallet than competing systems - and boasting a high repeatable accuracy of +/- 0.02mm - both systems can be orientated in any of three axes using re-fix holes on the T-slotted table

Quick-change chuck speeds changeovers
Capable of fast changeovers, a collet chuck has a runout accuracy of only five microns and is a replacement for other styles of collet chucks in bar-fed turning applications.
The systems afford a high level of production flexibility by being able to easily and quickly apply both fixed and movable jaws, to suit varying workpiece size and throughput demands.
The Iram 2000 Module Vice plate is available in lengths from 284 mm to 809mm, 180mm wide and 63mm high.
End jaws are 79mm long by 180mm wide; moveable jaws are 180mm wide and 69 to 77mm long, to suit the application.
Jaw height is 49mm and the system has a 20,000N maximum clamping pressure at a torque setting of 25Nm.
Similar jaw and clamping pressure specifications are provided with the Iram 2000 Module Cube, where the cube plate measures 206mm long by 206mm wide by 240mm to 985mm high.
The jaw arrangement for both systems includes body, lateral stop, centre stop and three different sizes of vertical stops, while accessories for both embrace customised vertical stops, extendable centre stops and form clamps.
