Quick-Change Receiver Showed 90% Reduced Change Over Times



Speedgrip Chuck Company's QCR Quick-Change Receiver is a manually actuated cam-lock receiving plate that attaches to CNC lathe spindles and reduces the time needed to change workholding clamping devices.

Similar to tool retention in the spindle, the QCR features automatic release of draw connections. With the QCR Quick-Change Receiver, the time needed for operators to effortlessly switch ID/OD collets, jaw chucks or face driver workholding devices on their machines is cut from an hour to five minutes, making them well suited for just-in-time production, the company reported.

The QCR Quick-Change Receiver is available for all standard nose configurations, for spindle sizes that run from A2-5 through A11, and flatback spindles. For added versatility, the easy-to-use QCR Quick-Change Receiver also comes in a through-hole design for through-spindle bar feeding operations.

"By engineering the receiver so that only two adapter plates are necessary, we have made the QCR Quick-Change Receiver as modular and standardized for our customers as possible," said Speedgrip President Matthew Mayer.
