Collet pads and jaws allow job shops to expand their machining capabilities

Dillon collet pads and jaws allow job shops to expand their machining capabilities, with thru-hole chucks that hold small bar stock for Swiss-type machining, and tube stock.

The Carbinite coating grips parts with varied geometries and allows more aggressive machining. Collet pads and jaws are designed for precision boring, high-speed machining, tapping, drilling, and finishing. They are especially suited for small diameter machining of stems, spools, crimp assemblies, manifolds for high pressure air systems, medical parts, miscellaneous fittings, mechanical and transmission components and specialty valves, and more.

A collet pad top jaw system increases a chuck’s range of workholding capabilities, allowing more varied part geometries to be machined with the same jaw system. Precision ground collet pads provide tight tolerances for workpieces, with full contact across the gripping surface for greater holding power.

Full contact of gripping surfaces provides a more stable grip and allows heavier cuts resulting in shorter cycle times. Round, hex, and square collet pad shapes with both smooth and serrated gripping surfaces available, including Carbinite.
