Features
Floating Function
The chuck has a built-in floating function.
In the first process of ring materials with low roundness, it is possible to clamp evenly at 6 points.
(In our experimental values, the roundness is improved by about 4 times on average compared to a general 6 jaw chuck)
Floating 12 Jaw Chuck with Balancing Jaws
When the floating jaws are each attached with a balancing jaw and clamped evenly at 12 points, further improvements in roundness can be achieved.
(In our own tests, this produced an average improvement in roundness of around 6.5 times compared to a general 6 jaw chuck.)
Centrifugal Force Compensation Function (FLC series)
Compared to a standard hydraulic chuck, the reduction in gripping force due to rotation is about 1/5.
Even if you worry about deformation of thin-walled workpieces and grip them loosely, there is no risk of the workpiece flying off.
