Surface finishes, tool and spindle life and performance are impacted by inferior toolholding products and methods. In particular, the centrifugal forces achieved during turning operations will exponentially reduce the clamping forces of the chuck as the rotational speed of both chuck and component increase. By using low-quality lathe chucks, this reduction in clamping forces can generate poor surface finishes and precision levels whilst increasing vibration and reducing service life of the machine spindle, Schunk says.
Schunk launches trade-in offer for chucks and toolholding
Schunk has introduced a trade-in offer to improve the productivity of the industry. This limited duration offer provides a discount for all its toolholders, including the new Tendo-E Compact, and 8-inch lathe chucks, such as the Rota-S Flex.
