End-Stops save time and money
|
|
Leader’s long established collaboration with Hainbuch now offers customers that have implemented SPANNTOP, a new ‘must have’ accessory - Quick-Change End-Stops - that save both time and money. VarioPart and VarioQuick are two variable end-stop systems that ensure significantly more flexibility, and to a great extent make bespoke end-stop design unnecessary.
Even greater flexibility
With the standardised workpiece end-stops, valuable time can be saved in work preparation, set-up times are drastically reduced, and the user always has the suitable end-stop at the ready. The question as to whether VarioPart or VarioQuick is purely up to you. Leader recommends the VarioPart system for precise and rigid clamping. It functions on the same principle as a gauge block box and can be height-adjusted in 1 mm increments with precision ground plates. With a face run out of < 0.02 mm on the portion of the end-stop that contacts the workpiece. VarioPart is ideal for finished part machining.
The VarioQuick variant is designed for fast, flexible clamping. It works with a precision trapezoidal thread that allows fast adjustment of the clamping length. A half turn corresponds axially to 1 mm. In addition, Leader also offers end-stop blanks for workpiece end-stops or front end-stops.

Featuring an award-winning design, MultiChuck MMY brings a host of advantages to the self centring of round parts on vertical and horizontal machining centres, milling machines and grinders.
Unlike traditional side lock/unlock units the simple top face operation of the MultiChuck MMY means that the chucks can be tightly packed on to the base plate, increasing the density of the workpieces loaded on the machine‘s table to maximise the running time of the spindle.
Available in two- or three-jaw configurations, MultiChuck MMY combines fast initial jaw travel with controlled second-stage clamping to offer a large law opening with high gripping force. Jaw strokes are 4, 5, 8 and 10 mm across the four variants with low unit heights, from just 25 to 40 mm.

POSITIVELY ACCURATE
Leader Chuck Systems recently introduces the PosiStop, a new low-cost system for the fast and consistent positive location of billets in lathe chuck jaws.
Available in heights of l5, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm, PosiStop is suitable for jaws up to 55 mm wide and offers fast and accurate workpiece location every time. Designed to suit the most popular chuck sizes, PosiStop is a cost-effective device that will improve productivity.
Securely located to the chuck face using permanent magnets, PosiStop is a flexible alternative both to the practice of machining location faces in chuck jaws, and to the cost and inconvenience of using home-made 'spiders'.
The contact surfaces against the workpiece and the chuck are face ground to ensure optimum parallelism.
PosiStop is manufactured from aerospace grade aluminium and is the perfect aid to decrease setup times and increase precision in turning operations.
The units are priced very competitively and most machine shops would achieve an ROI (Return on Investment) the very first time they use the PosiStop.
