Full-Grip Chuck Jaws Hold Delicate Workpieces Without Marring
Dillon Manufacturing says its full-grip chuck jaws are ideal for high-speed machining, as well as precision boring, tapping, drilling and finishing across virtually all industrial markets. Brass provides a softer surface without marring or marking of the workpiece surface.
Dillon Manufacturing says its brass pie jaws are capable of firmly gripping delicate workpieces without marring or distortion. Maximum contact area from the full grip jaws provides a solid gripping surface which yields more friction for drive with reduced part distortion, while the brass provides a softer surface without marring or marking of the workpiece surface. Standard parts are available to 32" in diameter, with custom designs available with special heights, diameters and configurations. Special configurations include a matching serration location that is perpendicular to the slots. According to Dillon, these jaws are ideal for components fabricated from brass, aluminum, bronze and other softer, malleable alloys.
Dillon says its full-grip chuck jaws are ideal for high-speed machining, as well as precision boring, tapping, drilling and finishing across virtually all industrial markets. In addition to brass, Dillon’s full-grip pie jaws are available in 6061 aluminum, 1018 steel and cast iron.
These wrap-around type top jaws distribute more of the gripping pressure across the workpiece, reducing part distortion. Dillon standard and custom full-grip jaws are available in serrated, tongue and groove serrated, Acme serrated and square serrated designs.
