Chuck adaptors provide three-in-one lathe workholding system

Mando Adapt and Jaw Adapt can quickly and effectively transform a standard Hainbuch collet chuck into a mandrel for internal workpiece fixturing (MandoAdapt), or into a jaw chuck (JawAdapt) that enables larger workpieces, up to almost double the diameter, to be held securely by the same chuck body. Compared with conventional separate chuck set-ups for multi-turning tasks, MandoAdapt and JawAdapt provide users with a three-in-one lathe workholding system as well as vastly reduced changeover times. Designed exclusively for use with the ultra-accurate Hainbuch collet chuck, both systems maintain the high clamping accuracy guaranteed within 5 micron TIR. MandoAdapt is available for 42, 52, 65, 80 and 100 mm Hainbuch Modular and Combi pull back chucks, giving a mandrel clamping range of 13 to 100 mm diameter. JawAdapt is currently available for 65, 80 and 100 mm Hainbuch Combi pull back chucks.
