Dillon self-centering Jaw Forming Rings, or Jaw Boring Rings, attach to the front of jaws without tools so installation is fast and simple, and set-up times are slashed. Use of this device will provide a jaw surface true to the machine centerline, reduce set-up times, and increase up-times for running machined parts.
CNC machining centers continually run at full capacity to produce high-quality parts that adhere to demanding specifications. Expensive dedicated machines’ workholding devices experience wear over time due to the forces of machining. Direct debilitating variables include performing in hostile environments, working with complex part geometries, or using demanding exotic material types (inconel, titanium, etc.)−all of which can promote the wear on a machine.
Jergens new Quick-Loc 2 Pallet system boasts an improved design that engages pull studs inside the receiver, plus a hardened coating for long life and durability. The range is compatible with all existing top tooling, ensuring repeatability of 0.0003″ and providing clamping forces of nearly 14,000 lbs.
Dillon Manufacturing’s Claw Jaws feature an optimized contour which, along with the jaw's weight, center of gravity, and cutting forces, combine to securely grip workpieces by minimizing jaw clamping force losses.
Gleason LeCount Adjustable Expanding Mandrels offer a fast, flexible and amazingly simple solution for metrology applications where speed, accuracy and repeatability are paramount
Keep it simple. More often than not it turns out to be the best course of action in life and on factory floors. Take, for example, Gleason LeCount Expanding Mandrels. You’ll find them in quality labs around the world, delivering reliable, repeatable workholding performance for the inspection of gears and other bore-type workpieces. Quality labs today are at the epicenter of the drive to produce increasingly complex, high-precision parts, while at the same time racing to take time and cost out of the inspection process. Counter-intuitively, perhaps, the best workholding solution to meet these ambitious new inspection requirements turns out not to be something new and more complex—but the simplest solution of all: Gleason LeCount Expanding Mandrels.
Jergens new 5-in. Heavy Duty Machine Vise ensures secure part holding for general applications across the range of CNC machining, including high production. Designed to a relatively small size and weight, the vise is also more easily moved and relocated, speeding up the time in between changeovers and reducing operator fatigue.
In any centering application, the accuracy of the parts produced is no better than the accuracy of the centers holding the workpiece. In response to this dilemma Riten Industries, Inc. continues to expand its nationally recognized repair and trade-in exchange service programs. Exclusive to the North American market for a complete restoration, these programs deliver fast and economical solutions to extend end-users' investment far beyond the normal life of average centers to achieve maximum uptime.
Jergens will demonstrate its 5CV 130mm self-centering vise at this year’s FITMA show in Mexico City, Mexico, June 20th-22nd. The vise features clamping forces up to 3,600 lbs. and offers important advantages for five-axis machining applications. Among those are the reduction of ‘jaw lift’ that can occur due to flex that allows the workpiece to raise up during the clamping process. To combat this errant force, the vise jaws have been engineered with a pull-down design to ensure clamping and minimize lift.
Rego-Fix will feature high-precision toolholding especially suited for the demands of satellite, telescope, rocket and other sophisticated part production at SATELLITE 2023 and the company's reCoolretrofittable coolant-through system and powRgrip tool holders will be showcased at EASTEC 2023.
Jergens now offers two new zero-point-system (ZPS) installation choices for compact, light-duty applications. SP140 and K02 pull studs utilize pneumatics and a mechanical spring in a small package.
