Parlec Launches Coated ER Collet System
Parlec’s P3 ER collets feature an anti-friction coating on the 30° face of the collet that interfaces with the collet nut when tightening during tool setup. Parlec says the collets can be used in any ER collet chuck to improve accuracy and cutting performance.
Parlec has released the new P3 ER collet system. The company claims this is the first coated ER collet system. Parlec’s P3 ER collets feature an anti-friction coating on the 30° face of the collet that interfaces with the collet nut when tightening during tool setup.
According to Parlec, the anti-friction coating reduces radial distortion helping improve run-out. Parlec P3 ER collets reportedly have a repeatably accuracy of 0.0001" and are sealed for coolant pressures up to 2,000 psi due to a special slotting design. Parlec P3 ER collets are available in ER11, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40" and metric sizes; they are meant to be used with on-size tooling. Parlec says the P3 ER collets can be used in any ER collet chuck to improve accuracy and cutting performance.
