Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.
A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.
The ESM 168 round chuck can be used on the face of 4th and 5th-axis rotary tables, lathes, or mills where the center of rotation provides a through-hole to bury the workpiece.
