Chucks And Arbors Designed For Holding Thin-Walled Parts
The Conform-A-Chuck and Conform-A-Arbor workholding solutions are designed to adapt to an out-of-round OD or ID and securely grip that diameter to enable boring, honing, grinding or other machining operations without changing the original free-state shape of the part. These workholding solutions are suited for the machining of thin-walled parts such as automotive smog control air pump rotors, gas turbine parts, thin-wall tubing and cylinder liners for diesel engines. The Conform-A products rely upon a plastic material called Hydra-Fibre.

The series of spring-loaded work support components from Imao includes three styles of work supports, which are said to be ideal for accurate positioning and orientation of workpieces in machining fabrication, assembly, inspection layouts and more. The supports are offered in four sizes of block-type units, five cylinder-style sizes and three miniature sizes. The supports help stabilize workpieces and ensure a secure clamp.
Read MoreLine Of Durable Chip And Parts Conveyors
This permanent magnet conveyor automatically removes and elevates ferrous materials such as chips, turnings and small parts without using moving external parts. The conveyors use a continuous series of ceramic magnets to pick up and glide material along the stainless steel slider plate. Material is then discharged over the head end.

The C-420NC programmable dual column band saw accommodates round material ranging to 16. 5″ in diameter and 16. 5″ × 16.
Read MoreLow-Profile Rotary Table(2)
The GD210LP low-profile rotary table is designed for rigidity, speed, accuracy and repeatability. Stiffness and rigidity are accomplished with large-diameter bearings and a fail-safe clamping system that accommodates parts as heavy as 220 lbs. The table uses as much as 233 foot-pounds (315Nm) of clamping torque to handle off-center drilling, cross-axis milling and other high-force cutting applications.
Read MoreExpanded Line Of Miniature Deburring Brushes
According to the company, miniature deburring brushes can automate the removal of burrs and the production of an edge radius on small-dameter holes, saving time and money while improving product quality and consistency. Filament choices include carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, nylon and natural to provide the optimum finish on a variety of base materials. The miniature deburring brushes are available in a diamond-abrasive-filled nylon filament.
Read MoreHybrid Chucks Reduce Downtime
Rohm’s MZMF hybrid chuck is a combination of a three-jaw manual chuck and a round, magnetic support plate. By combining the two technologies, workpieces of various sizes can be evenly and securely clamped and machined from three sides, the company says. Clamping, before turning or grinding operations, is carried out in seconds, minimizing machine downtime.
Read MoreLive Centers Offer Accuracy Of 1 Micron
Gepy live centers from DA Swiss are offered with a setup accuracy of 1 micron (0. 000040") TIR. This level of precision is said to allow the use of a live center for applications where a dead center is normally required.
Read MoreCarbide Indexable Insert Chamfering Tool
The Cinch carbide insert chamfering tool from Fitz-Rite Products uses a square ANSI standard insert and is available in 60-, 82-, 90- and 120- degree included angles. The compact, rigid design enables the user to chamfer holes with diameters as small as 1/4" while using the high rpms and feed rates. Also available in the double-angle configuration, the tool can be used to chamfer both the top and the bottom of holes with diameters as small as 21/32".
