Collet chuck provides accuracy in small diameter cutting

Lyndex-Nikken has introduced the MMC Mini-Mini collet chuck that provides accuracy in small diameter cutting.

The collet chuck features a slim and compact body for precision machining with small diameter tools, up to 0.500 in. This will enable high runout accuracy with superb surface finish and part tolerance. It is ideal for high speed machining applications where clearance is needed and is an alternative to a shrink fit system, according to the company.

An easy-to-use draw-in collet clamping mechanism (no collet nut required) results in strong, high-precision gripping from the front nose that can access hard to reach areas. The collet system for the MMC also allows for a wider range of sizes while with shrink fit you need a holder for each size of cutting tool.

The MMC collet chuck is precision ground and pre-balanced to 30,000 RPM at G2.5 with runout accuracy of 3 microns at 4 times the diameter.

It is also available in Taper Plus which combines taper accuracy with flange rigidity. Additionally, they have coolant thru capabilities offered in a standard style coolant collet or jet slotted style collet.
