Samchully range now offered by Thame Workholding

Established in 1975, Samchully Machinery Co Ltd manufactures power chucks, hydraulic cylinders and scroll chucks in its ISO 9001-accedited factory located in Incheon, Korea. These are fitted to machine tools manufactured by indigenous manufacturers, such as Doosan and Hyundai-Kia, with Samchully also supplying overseas machine tool builders, such as Haas Automation. Samchully standard hydraulic chucks are available as closed centre, standard bore, large bore and mega bore options, with all models available in two-, three- or four-jaw configurations. Also available are large diameter (up to 2 m) hydraulic chucks that are ideal for aerospace and heavy industry applications, with chucks of 1.6 m diameter and larger designed to be used as a three-jaw hydraulic chuck or a four-jaw independent chuck. Samchully also manufactures fully automated auto-indexing chucks that cater for multi-surface machining in a single clamping, enabling the operator to move easily between multiple working axes at 8 by 45º, 4 by 90º, 6 by 60º and 3 by 120º intervals. "Everybody knows Thame as the chuck jaw people", says Maurice Day, director, "although over the years we have extended our workholding remit to include chucks; manual, hydraulic or pneumatic prismatic and rotary fixturing; vacuum clamping; and vices and pallet magazine systems. Now, following the agreement with Samchully, we are offering a wide choice of competitively priced standard chucks to complement our long experience of designing and fitting special and replacement chucks."
