COLLET CHUCK FLEXC® QUICK-CHANGE COLLET SYSTEM

Product catalog summary
Modular FlexC® Clamping System
The FlexC® clamping system is designed for quick changes between internal and external clamping, taking less than a minute. Its compact design increases the working area by reducing machine interference. The system supports various clamping concepts with minimal setup effort.

FlexC® Design Variants
  • Design D: Features a retraction function and through bore, ideal for rod processing without a workpiece stop.
  • Design A: Includes a retraction function and integrated workpiece stop for precise length control. The stop can be removed for rod processing.
  • Design DL: A compression collet chuck that clamps without axial movement, allowing precise workpiece transfer between spindles.

FlexC® Flexibility & Versatility
The system supports quick changes and uses existing collets and mandrels for internal clamping. It is compatible with common market products and maintains high concentricity and durability through advanced vulcanization processes.

Technical Specifications / Dimensions
Detailed dimensions are provided for each design variant, specifying spindle numbers, diameters, and lengths for various sizes.

FlexC® Clamping Range
Standard collets are available, with semi-finished products for intermediate sizes and custom designs for special applications.

FlexC® Accessories
Includes adapters for 5C/16C collets, mandrels, and stepped chucks, enhancing flexibility and reducing setup times. Stationary clamping units are available with manual and hydraulic actuation.

FlexC® Workpiece Stops & Ejectors
Workpiece stops ensure precise axial alignment, while spring-actuated ejectors facilitate workpiece discharge with adjustable stroke and speed.
