Northfield has custom engineered a diaphragm chuck with an air detect feature for improved production effeciency.
This chuck was specially designed and manufactured for United Grinding. They had to grip on two different diameters (top and bottom), you can see two sets of jaws in the above picture. The part was exceptionally long so we had to manufacture the body out of a 220lb slug about 10 inches in diameter and 11 inches in length. This chuck was extremely accurate, only running out about 1 Micron (on diameter) along the entire length of the chuck, which was more than 15 inches. The end user had to perform a grinding operation on the inside tapered bore of this part. This part was a drive axel for a Volvo truck. This chuck also was designed with an air-detect feature so the machine will know when the part is properly placed in the chuck.
