Consistent hold for accurate machining results

The collet design delivers a concentric grip that helps maintain part alignment during machining, reducing the need for repeated adjustments. With its defined 7-3/8" opening, this clamping element enables reliable engagement for parts that fit within that maximum envelope. The result is improved process stability and fewer rejects, which supports predictable cycle times and a stronger production flow.

Reach further without sacrificing stability

A throat depth of 114.3 mm allows access to deeper features and facilitates work on longer components without additional fixturing. Combined with compact dimensions of 345 x 161 mm and a mass of 1.75 kg, the unit balances reach and rigidity, limiting vibration and contributing to consistent surface finishes. This configuration reduces the number of repositioning steps, saving set-up time and increasing throughput.
