Improve
productivity and lower the cost of secondary
machining operations.....
through high concentricity. Holding close concentricity
tolerances during each machining operation not
only reduces scrap rates, but also allows you
to leave less material for finishing operations.
Therefore, you reduce cycle time and improve
tool life of finishing operations. And MicroCentric
air chucks give you the capability to improve
workpiece roundness, squareness, and parallelism
as well.
Over
30 years of advanced design and engineering.....
has made MicroCentric the world's leading builder
of precision chucks. MicroCentric air chucks
are a sliding jaw, self-contained design. Air
is supplied to the chuck by a rotating air tube
assembly, or directly in the side of the chuck
body for stationary applications. Air chucks
can be actuated by a manual or electronic solenoid
valve. Clamping force is adjusted by varying
the input air pressure.
MicroCentric air chucks are an open center
design with separate actuators for each base
jaw. They feature a meehanite chuck body with
hardened steel actuators and base jaws. All
components are precision ground, and the base
jaws are lapped to fit with each individual
jaw slot, assuring high repeating accuracy and
minimal jaw lift as the chuck clamps. MicroCentric
air chucks are double acting for both ID and
OD applications.
