Leader introduces enhanced TOPlus Mini chucks
The recently revised TOPlus Mini range from Leader Chuck Systems features chucks offering a mass reduction of 38% thanks to one-third shorter lengths and one-third smaller diameters. This results in reduced energy consumption during operation and better cutting tool accessibility. Also, the tools used can be shorter and therefore more stable – for both the main and sub-spindles. This is particularly key where installation space is limited and in batch production operations where part-to-part consistency is vital.
The TOPlus Mini is available in two variants; pull-back and dead-length. The pull-back TOPlus Mini features a vulcanised clamping head with pull-back and hexagonal geometry for optimum chuck sealing and 25% higher clamping force. For radial clamping without axial movement of the clamping head, the dead-length TOPlus Mini is suitable for component transfer between spindles such as horizontally opposed twin spindle lathes, and for vertical turning pick-up spindles.
