Flexible, Sealed Collet Heads Achieve High Accuracy and Reduce Setup
OmniGrip Collet Systems from Forkardt interchange in seconds with spindle mounts for quick changeover of most brands of CNC lathes and the same gripping capability as conventional collets while using less draw bar force.
Greater Flexibility With Exchangeable Head Coupling
This exchangeable head coupling from Sandvik Coromant uses a self-centering screw thread for secure mounting and maximum strength and security for long reach extensions used to mill 0.394 in to 1.26 in diameters and bore 0.394 in to 1.42 in diameters.
Rigid Spindle Connection Increases Metal Removal Rates Machine Too Utilization, Reduces Part Cost
By combining high clamping force and optimized interference levels, the Kennametal KM4X from Haimer provides a robust connection, extremely high stiffness, and bending load capacity for greatly improved performance in machining high-strength alloys and other materials.
Advanced Tooling for Demanding Part Machining
New milling chucks and other toolholding innovations from REGO-FIX Tool showcase advanced tooling systems that bring precision, strength and ease of use to demanding part machining applications.
Collet Pad Jaws Maximize Productivity for Small Diameter Parts
A collet pad top jaw system from Dillon Manufacturing increases a chuck’s range of workholding capabilities, allowing more varied part geometries to be machined more aggressively with the same jaw system for shorter cycle times and more consistent quality output.
Collets
A subcategory of chucks, collets incorporate a tapered outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical surface that fits around a tool or workpiece. Collets are typically divided into woodworking and metalworking uses. In woodworking, collets are often used to hold cutting…
