Hardinge’s FlexC family of available chuck and collet sizes has added a 100-mm size to its quick-change clamping system. The FlexC 100 collet system is said to provide greater manufacturing capacities, while offering the same cost savings and overall efficiency that the 42-mm, 65-mm and 80-mm systems have.
The 100-mm chucks and collets are available for purchase in Style A (Pull Back with Dead-Length Work Stop) and Style DL (Push to Close with Dead Length Workstop) variants.
The company’s FlexC Quick-Change Systems improve manufacturing output with precision and accuracy, according to the company. The collets provide better gripping, added accessories for adaptability, and compatibility with all brands of CNC lathes.
