Schunk launches Vero-S SEZ collet chuck module
Schunk has extended its modular system for workpiece clamping with a collet chuck module for parts with cylindrical shanks. Lengths of pipes, shafts and other small parts can now be clamped with the Schunk Vero-S SEZ. In addition, the collet chuck module is said to provide optimum accessibility for parts to be machined from five sides. The same applies for unstable workpieces with a short shank. Schunk says it is particularly suitable for parts such as plungers and ejectors in tool and mould making.
To operate the system, the collet chuck module is put on to an existing Schunk Vero-S quick-change module; this is then equipped with a workpiece before the pull-down jaw system is activated. Coolant is discharged through an integrated drain.
The clamping diameter ranges from 2 to 20 mm (ER 32-120), 3 to 26 mm (ER 40-120), or 1 to 16 mm (ER 25-100).
