Collets

WIDIA recognizes the foundation for successful machining is built on rock-solid reliability and performance, which is why the company is introducing HydroForce, a new high-performance, high-torque universal hydraulic chuck.

WIDIA says manufacturers of high-precision components (aerospace, transportation, die and mold, general engineering, and many more) wage a constant battle between producing high-tolerance parts and a "we-have-to-have-it-tomorrow" reality. WIDIA is announcing a significant new weapon to bring shops closer to victory, a universal, high-precision collet chuck offering use in multiple applications (milling, drilling, reaming, and tapping), while maintaining runout accuracies of 0.003mm (0.0001 inches) at 3xD.

Bilz Tool Inc. says its TER shrink collet from has proven to be a successful solution in the manufacturing of medical product technology. One specific application of the TER collet, is for machining vertebral supports from the titanium alloy Ti6AI4V.

The Diebold-CentroGrip collet chuck series is reportedly a new development of the proven ER collet system.

GenSwiss has introduced the EZR Swiss Clamp System for increased torque and enables fast and positive ER collet clamping.

GenSwiss now offers a full range of precision and ultra-precision saw arbors and solid carbide slitting saws.

GenSwiss offers the new Ti-Loc SwissClamp Slitting and Milling Tool Holders for increased rigidity, higher quality, longer tool life, and enables quick change of tooling into fixed locations.

GenSwiss offers a new line of cobalt and carbide microdrills in 0.1mm thru 3mm diameter sizes in 0.01mm increments to suit a full range of microdrilling and spot drilling operations.

The DynoSpindle Model 1860 series from Dynomax Inc. features compact, high-speed motorized robotic spindles designed for finishing operations requiring high-precision.

Toolmaker Kennametal Inc. focuses on supplying its customers with productivity of the highest level, even when faced with challenging conditions.
