SMW Autoblok to Introduce New Six Jaw Equalizing Chuck at IMTS 2010
Wheeling, IL - At IMTS 2010, SMW Autoblok will introduce their new TE Six Jaw Chucks with 2 + 2 + 2 equalizing mechanisms. These active pull down chucks feature high precision and repeatability, and are designed to securely clamp parts without deformation.
With six equalizing jaws, TE Chucks clamp workpieces with twelve points of contact. This is ideal for parts that are easily deformed, such as flanges and rings for the aerospace industry, fly-wheels, components for wind power generators (e.g. bearings, slewing rings and planetary gear boxes), brake drums, and brake discs.
With high centrifugal force compensation even at high speed, TE Chucks maintain low static gripping force for minimum workpiece deformation. Despite the intricate mechanism of master jaws and levers, TE Chucks feature a compact body design.
TE Chucks are completely sealed from outside contamination, and therefore require less maintenance than competitive chucks. TE Chucks will be available in a range of diameters from 260mm (10.24") to 1050mm (41.39").
SMW Autoblok will be exhibiting in booth #W-1400 at IMTS 2010, held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois from September 13 - 18, 2010. For more information on TE Chucks or any SMW Autoblok product, please call 847-215-0591.
