ROTA THW3 Chuck
The ROTA THW3 chuck with quick-change jaws has been completely redesigned to fit into today's modern machine tool technology. Today's machines allow multiple features for today's manufacturing. For example, quick change tooling, large tool storage, multi spindles, and modular machine controls, to name a few. This technology creates a better experience for the customer by allowing for faster throughput, flexibility, and accuracy. The standard chuck that typically come with these machines are not up to the task with today's machine tool technologies and part demands. Available in stock from size 200-630mm.
FS40 FullShop Automated Coolant Management Systems
Like the flagship FS120 system, the FS40 series monitors and replenishes all CNC sumps with optimized top-off ratios. This turnkey system is easy to install and consists of a centralized pumping station, controller, distribution manifolds and level sensor that drops into the machine tool sump. Compared to the FS120, which has a footprint of 50 by 60 inches, the new FS40 is even more compact — 30 by 30 inches.

True-Lok Toggle Clamps
Four types of clamps are available with the locking mechanism including Vertical Handle, Horizontal Handle, Pull (Latch) Style and Push (Straight Line) Style toggle clamps. The added feature ensures that the toggle clamp will remain in the closed / hold down position for maximum security in workholding applications. Additionally, it also ensures that the clamps remain in the unclamped / open position to facilitate part change and operator convenience.
