The 3+1 Gripfast combination power chuck can be supplied in sizes from 300 to 500 mm, although larger versions with special modifications to suit the application are offered on request. It provides CNC lathe customers with a chuck, collet chuck and mandrel chuck in one unit. According to Pratt Burnerd, this versatility comes into its own when integrated with production CNC turning centres for small and medium batch production.
