Collet to 3-jaw chuck in 1 minute with Hainbuch jaw module
A newly developed, easy-to-change Hainbuch jaw module is said to convert a standard Hainbuch collet style chuck to a 3-jaw chuck in less than 1 minute.
Compared with normal chucks, Hainbuch says its latest jaw module offers lower weight and a smaller profile to deliver a 3 in 1 combination of ID clamping, OD clamping (collet) and jaw clamping. The solution, which comprises a collet style chuck and a jaw module, is compact and as such can use spindle acceleration and deceleration more efficiently to save time.
The basic unit is a Spanntop collet chuck or Toplus collet chuck. Add to this the jaw module, clamping heads and mandrels, and users achieve reliability, accuracy and safety that traditional jaw chucks lack, especially for ID clamping, says Hainbuch.
Two units are available – 144 for clamping from 25-115 mm, and 215 for 25-200 mm.
