Want to do higher precision machining?

Convert Your Jaw Chuck-Style Lathe into a Collet Lathe.

Hardinge HCAC
™ Collet Adaptation Chucks help move you up to a higher precision, higher production shop.Setup time takes a pleasant drop allowing more time to make products. Collet Adaptation Chucks convert a chuck-style spindle into a collet-style spindle. Collets run truer than jaw chucks, allowing you to eliminate many secondary operations. You can choose a draw-style collet adaptation chuck to provide the best TIR possible, or the stationary-collet style for its ability to hold lengths, even when the chucking diameter varies.Plain nose adapters are used with standard draw-collets or style “S” master collets. When step chucks and closers,spindle mounted expanding collets, fixture plates and other spindle mounted tooling need to be used, the spindle-to-spindle collet adaptation chuck is required.Collet Adaptation Chucks are also available to convert a draw-collet spindle system into a push-collet system.The B42 can be adapted for an A2-8 spindle nose and the B65 for an A2-6 spindle nose.If your shop already has a set of draw collets but needs precise length control, use the Dead-Length
® ColletAdaptation Chucks for draw collets. This design holds the draw collet stationary while a sleeve closes the collet.To get more information about Hardinge HCAC Collet Adaptation Chucks, give us a call or fax at the numbersshown on the back page of this brochure. Ask for Brochure #2352.
