en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dillon Manufacturing USA introduces collet pad blocks and jaws that help job shop-style workshops perform a wider range of machining operations, including Swiss-type machining, through-hole chucks for small bar stock clamping, and tubing. With the application of Carbinite wear-resistant carbide coating, the equipment can securely grip parts of various geometries and support more aggressive cutting to reduce cycle times. In terms of expanding machining capabilities, accelerating processing speeds, shortening cycle times, improving repeat positioning accuracy, and increasing changeover efficiency, collet pad blocks and chucks help shops enhance profitability. These products are particularly suitable for small-diameter precision boring, high-speed machining, tapping, drilling, and finishing operations. Common applications include valve stems, spools, crimp components, high-pressure air system manifolds, medical parts, various fittings, mechanical and transmission components, and specialized valves.
The ability to machine more geometries means more business opportunities. The collet pad top jaw system extends the workholding range of the chuck, allowing the same jaw system to process a more diverse range of part geometries. Precision-ground collet pad blocks provide tight tolerances for workpieces, with full contact on the gripping surface to deliver greater clamping force. The full-contact gripping surface ensures more stable clamping and permits heavier cuts, thereby reducing cycle times. Collet pad blocks are available in round, hex, and square shapes, with surfaces offered in both smooth and serrated finishes, and feature Carbinite wear-resistant carbide coating—a coating that can double gripping strength under the same clamping force. This improved gripping capability enhances milling machine performance and extends tool life.
Dillon Manufacturing offers a complete range of S-style and Warner & Swasey-style collet pad blocks, including W&S solid emergency collet pad blocks, as well as models for Gisholt, Jones & Lamson, and Martin.
The process of switching to collet pad jaws is very simple, requiring only a jaw change. The time needed to change jaws and collets is typically completed within minutes, much faster than replacing an entire chuck, which can take hours. The ability to quickly switch between different sizes enables shops to improve machine cycle times by up to 30%. By utilizing chucks and collet pad blocks for machining, including processing hexagonal or square materials, machinists can maximize the value and return on investment of their chucks.
