The company has introduced a new stationary chuck to its line of precision workholding components. The model MACC-3 features a square chuck body that makes it useful for a variety of workholding applications. Its compact design and low profile body (47 mm) are said to allow for high density "stacking" on a tombstone or stationary table that might require a small envelope of operation.
Mounting can be in either horizontal or vertical orientation, requires no adapter and is accomplished with two precision screws. All models have a through-hole for shafts or "swallowed" parts and workpieces can be either internally or externally clamped. According to the company, the product delivers a high degree of repeatability and clamping force up to 5,600 lbs, even under full machine power.
Actuation is made by a keyway on the face of the chuck; an impact wrench can be used. Low-profile soft jaws are standard. The company says the chuck features a completely sealed chuck body for long-life performance and minimum maintenance. The square base of the chuck is available in 105 mm, 130 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm sizes (4", 5", 6" and 8").
Custom workholding enabled Resolve Surgical Technologies to place all sizes of one trauma part onto a single machine — and cut days from the setup times.
