Collets
Collet Tip Talk
Selecting the right toolholder for an application requires understanding some of the available options to enhance accuracy.
Improve stability, accuracy in rotating tools applications when applied to Swiss-type and multitasking machines
An excellent way to improve stability and accuracy in rotating tools applications when applied to Swiss-type and multitasking machines is to improve clamping stability by use of integral collets. What is an integral collet? An integral collet is a tool with a tapered shank for direct mounting on ER collet chucks. When compared to a typical spring collet clamp, the integral collet provides better accuracy and higher rigidity. This feature makes integral collets very promising for use in Multitasking and Swiss-type machines. Iscar offers several tool families with integral collets.
