New Hardinge Pictorial Guide for Custom Gripping Solutions...
Share:
Hardinge introduces a new pictorial guide of previously designed and manufactured custom workholding solutions for turning, milling, grinding, assembly and process applications. Examples include collets for production assembly, pharmaceutical capsules, glass rods & lenses, friction welding, gear hobbing, laser welding, plastics, cable crimping and pipe bending. Did you know that you could use an adapter to change the taper of a VMC spindle (CAT, BT, ISO), grinding workhead or tool holder for job flexibility and added machine versatility? See how Hardinge has solved difficult problems for customers such as hard-to-grip materials like glass and rough stock, solutions for non-marking and non-distortion of delicate or thin-wall parts. Are you having problems with push back and radial slipping during heavy forming or drilling? Is excessive heat keeping you from maintaining workpiece accuracies or shortening the life of your collet? Hardinge can provide remedies to these problems and others such as hard-to-grip shapes and materials, geometric bar stock, unusual or difficult process problems and non-traditional applications.
Hardinge has been manufacturing collets since the concept of the 5C collet in the 1890's. 30% of their workholding business is custom-manufactured workholding. Their manufacturing plant in Elmira, New York houses dedicated work cells exclusively for custom manufacturing. Hardinge employs design and application engineers, highly experienced phone correspondents and highly skilled machinists exclusively for custom manufacturing. Common "Specials" include custom collets, feed fingers, step chucks, special accuracies, special shapes and fixturing.

Are you looking for solutions to gripping problems, a reduction in setup time, an increase in productivity, or the possibility of eliminating a second operation? Expect more from your workholding.
