Mate Workholding System Maximizes Repeatability
The company has enhanced its 52/96 zero-point workholding system with a new vise, collets machinable hard jaws and more.
Mate Precision Technologies has introduced a series of enhancements to its 52/96 zero-point workholding system. The enhancements include:
- Machinable Hard Jaws: These enable users to create custom profiles from blank jaws. Customers can request Mate to customize the hard jaws with delivery usually in 10 days or less, or they can order blank profiles to customize in-house.
- DynoGrip ER Collet Chucks: These collet chucks provide an easy and reliable solution for holding round parts during milling operations. The industry-standard ER32 and ER40 collets accommodate diameters from 2-32 mm (0.08"-1.26").
- DynoGrip Direct Mount Vise: A wider body provides additional flexibility and allows for direct bolting to a machine bed, pallet or other fixture. It includes two 10-mm counterbores on center, 100 mm apart for direct mounting.
- DynoMount Lower Profile Pyramid: This three-sided pyramid is designed for more compact machining spaces.
Dean Sundquist, CEO of Mate Precision Technologies, says, “We enhanced our workholding product line to help [metalworkers] solve complex machining challenges while providing maximum accuracy and repeatability. These workholding enhancements are also backed by Mate’s customer satisfaction guarantee, so customers can be confident when choosing these new enhancements to our workholding system.”
