A cost-effective route to productivity
|
|
The Leader MultiChuck MMY concentric clamping system offers a cost-effective route to more productive manufacturing, and an improved return on the capital invested in your machine tools.
MultiChuck MMY brings a host of advantages to the self-centring of round parts on vertical and horizontal machining centres, milling machines and grinders. Rapid clamping and short set-up times are achieved due to the inherent rigidity and accuracy.
Available in two- or three-jaw configurations, MultiChuck MMY combines fast initial jaw travel with controlled second-stage clamping to offer a large jaw opening with high gripping force. Jaw strokes are 4, 5, 8 and 10 mm across the four variants and the low unit height, from just 25 to 40 mm across the range, maximises the machine's Z axis.

Industry specific solutions
|
|
Industry-specific products like the oil country chucks designed and produced by Bison provide focused workholding solutions. The extensive range of large through-hole chucks provides a solution for any manufacturer turning long, large diameter parts.
Like all chucks from Bison, the oil country chucks are made from forged steel or cast iron. And, all of the working surfaces are induction hardened and ground to ensure that the finished product is a rugged chuck that meets high sliding, stability, and durability parameters.
All of the 3-jaw self-centring chucks and 4-jaw chucks can work individually or in pairs, mounted on opposite sides of the lathe spindle, ensuring the same vertical position of the jaws in both chucks. This allows the accurate turning of very long components such as pipes.

FROZEN TO THE CORE
Based in France, AMCC is a world leader in the development of advanced technology for plate freezing small and delicate components for micro machining.
This impressive and unusual technology uses a film of ice to firmly secure parts for grinding, milling and turning operations.
The technology is also ideally suited to applications where vacuum or magnetic fixturing could not be applied. For instance, when the components have through holes or the material is non ferrous, which includes ceramics or engineering plastics.
In use a fine spray of water is laid down on the freezing plate and the component is positioned in a jig or specially designed top plate. The ‘freeze’ cycle is selected on the compact control unit and within seconds the film of water turns to ice, which clamps the component ready for machining. After the machining operation the ‘thaw’ cycle is selected and the part is released.
