Mulitple mount styles and custom-machined drawtbue connectors ensure simple, turnkey mounting on both main and subspindle applications.
ID gripping is often overlooked as a workholding option, but in many situations it is the best choice:
A part's full length can be turned in a single operation, guaranteeing perfect concentricity of all OD features.
ID gripping offers an alternative to gripping on a finished surface, reducing the risk of part damage.
For many parts, the engagement-length of an internal bore can be greater than what is available for OD gripping, resulting in superior rigidity and torque transmission.
ID systems provide optimal tool clearnance, making them a great option for machines with live tooling.
