New Swiss Collets
September 1, 2014
"Hardinge offers everything manufacturers need for producing quality small diameter parts for the medical and aerospace industry - headstock collets, pickoff collets, carbide guide bushings and bar loader collets. Hardinge announces the release of several new Swiss collets which will be sold as standard off the shelf items," said a company spokesperson.
Working with Tsugami, we are prepared to introduce as standard products TF43, STM38 and BS38 Swiss Collets. This extension of our Swiss Collet Product Line gives us the opportunity to continue to grow our Swiss offering," said Rick Schonher, Productions Manager for Workholding.
The new TF43 Headstock collets are machined to precise size and TIR to meet the precision machining requirements.
Another new product is the STM38 guide bushing. Hardinge's guide bushings are carbide lined to keep the stock clean and unmarked. Hardened steel or Meehanite-lined bushings can be made for certain stock that is not compatible with carbide.
The BS38 Pickoff collets are available as standard length or extended nose. Extended nose collets may be straight out or tapered to compensate for tooling interference.
TF37SP is now offered in the emergency and extended nose emergency styles. An emergency collet may be used when a standard collet is not readily available. These collets can be machined to the desired bore size and used until a hardened collet is available. The TF37SP Extended-Nose emergency collets feature added length. This is necessary when performing pickoff work and also to compensate for tooling interference.
"We carry a large collet inventory for most brands of Swiss-style CNC Lathes and cam-operated lathes. We provide same-day shipping and have an experienced sales and engineering staff to support our customers," said Schonher.
