Quick Change Chucks

CNC Lathes are used particularly to machine small and medium sized batches. This involves frequent changeover of the chuck jaws which can be accomplished without undue cost by using chucks with quick change jaws. Power Operated Quick Change Jaw Chuck provides a super high speed range.GMT is one of the leading power chuck manufacturer in India and has designed a power chuck with a quick change jaw system. This chuck helps in reducing the jaw changing time to a minimum. The wedge bars are designed to help counteract the effects of centrifugal force, and in fact this is done by setting them into the angled pockets in the body of the chuck. Moreover, the angles chosen by GMT for the piston shoulders and wedge bar teeth provide high mechanical efficiency ratio that provides for both sensitive and high pressure clamping. To withstand the most arduous working conditions, all PHQC chucks are designed with a high factor of safety. PHQC Chucks are operated by means of rotary cylinders controlled by proximity switches that provide signals concerning the state of the chuck i.e. clamping or de-clamping.
