Original Press Release:



Jergens, Inc. to Highlight New ER Collets at IMTS 2012, Booth W-2312



Cleveland, OH - Jergens, Inc., one of the world's largest manufacturers of lifting, workholding, and fastening solutions, announces the addition of ER collets to its Fixture Pro(TM) 5-Axis Quick-Change Workholding System. Designed to hold rods and other round workpieces, the new collets will be on display along with an accompanying 5-axis flower fixture at IMTS 2012, booth W-2312.

The addition of ER collets to the Fixture Pro(TM)line gives those working with 5-axis machines even more flexibility and quick-change fixturing options. "ER collets are usually above the workpiece holding the cutting tool," said Bob Rubenstahl, General Manager. "In this case, the ER collet is actually sitting on the table holding the workpiece, making it possible to machine rods and other round workpieces on a CNC machine, rather than a lathe."

The base of the new ER collet is designed to mount to Fixture Pro(TM) risers and pallet systems. "The modular risers and pallet changers are the heart of the Fixture Pro(TM)system," says Rubenstahl. "These off-the-shelf components allow you to create a stack up that gets your part off the table and allows for machining on all sides. At each level, the Fixture Pro(TM)system offers quick-change capabilities for complete part-to-part changeover in less than 60 seconds. The addition of the new ER collets not only converts your 5-axis CNC into a lathe, but gives you complete quick-change capabilities that further reduce set-up times."

To increase productivity, ER collets can also be mounted to Jergens' new flower fixture, which holds three collets at an angle ideal for 5-axis machining. Collets are available in ER 11, ER 16, ER 20, ER 25, and ER 32.
