Expanding Collet Systems Feature Interchangeable Heads
Sure-Grip expanding collet systems from Hardinge grip the internal diameter of a part for turning, milling, grinding, assembly, inspection and automation applications.
During chucking operations, parts can be located against the face of the arbor or against a machineable workstop. This provides exact part-length control as well as improved part consistency. The expanding collet draws the part firmly against the stop for a stable part location, making it well-suited for longer parts, the company says.
