Hydraulic tool holders made for high speed
Latest hydraulic tool holding range is suitable for high speed and high precision machining operations, such as milling, drilling, reaming, boring and engraving.
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 winner of the Best Workholding Product at the International Machine Tool Industry Awards, MultiChuck MMY brings a host of advantages to the self-centring of round parts on vertical and horizontal machining centres, milling machines and grinders - not least rapid clamping and short set-up times.
This is courtesy of a simple top face operation that enables more chucks, and therefore workpieces, to be 'banked' closely together - which is not the case with the traditional side face lock/unlock strategy.
Available with two or three jaws, MultiChuck MMY combines fast initial jaw travel with controlled second-stage clamping to provide a large jaw opening with high gripping force.
MultiChuck MMY can be provided as standard in a range of chuck sizes - 80mm, 100mm, 125mm and 150mm - and with base dimensions of 80mm by 80mm, 100mm by 100mm, 125mm by 125mm and 150mm by 150mm.
It will fit all slotted machine tables.
Jaw strokes are 4mm, 5mm, 8mm and 10mm across the four variants, and the low height (from 25 to 40mm) maximises the machine's Z axis (height can be increased using blocks).
Quick change top jaws can be supplied to suit most materials/components.
Suitable for external and internal clamping, MMY satisfies both first and second operations in the same machining cycle - thereby providing continuous output of finished components for JIT supply.
