SMW Autoblok says the KNCS-2G allows users to change jaws in less than a minute, reducing downtime during changeovers.
SMW Autoblok, a designer and manufacturer of rotating chucks, fixed fixtures, tooling and custom solutions for the machine tool industry, has introduced the KNCS-2G mechanical chuck. According to the company, the KNCS-2G allows users to change jaws in less than a minute, reducing downtime during changeovers.
KNCS-2G is considered ideal for lathes and lathes where parts are frequently replaced; It features an optimized lubrication system with additional channels and lube pockets built into the cam guides, allowing the chuck to be used with an optional third pass. switches until lubricated. The additional seal and new lubrication system are said to make the KNCS-2G suitable for high volume production under all operating conditions and provide consistent clamping force and longer service life.
SMW Autoblok claims that the wedge rod system guarantees unrivaled precision and rigidity. In addition, clamping force loss is very small due to centrifugal force compensation, and there is no counterweight, so the chuck does not vibrate when operating at high speeds.
KNCS-2G beveled guides are designed for quick jaw changes, providing flexibility for applications that require multiple jaw changes and adjustments. Proofline sealed chuck bodies, base jaws and wedge bars also provide added protection from chips, lubricants and other debris.
The chuck body and internal parts are hardened to extend chuck life and ensure high rigidity, accuracy and durability. The KNCS-2G is interchangeable with the standard SMW Autoblok KNCS-N chuck and existing main jaws can still be used without a seal. Size range 170-630 mm.
Over time, the force holding the tool holder to the machining center spindle weakens. If you haven’t tested your draw strength in a while, it may be a weak link in your process.
Using a cutter with a double negative rake angle and a cavity that accommodates a variety of insert geometries allowed Progressive Metal Service to increase valve feed and reduce scrap rates.
I’ve said before that the tool holder is the most underrated part of many milling processes, but the linkage (or locking handle) is probably the most underrated part of the tool holder.
