VC COLLET CHUCK – ULTRA PERFORMANCE IN AGGRESSIVE MACHINING

Six VC Collet Chucks of varying sizes are arranged upright on a white background, accompanied by two metal collets and a black spanner wrench placed in the foreground.When doing aggressive machining, it is more critical than ever to overcome challenges such as vibration, chatter, heat generation, workpiece stability, and tool wear. Selecting tool holders designed to improve rigidity and surface finish can set you up for success.

The VC collet chuck has a key design advantage with the TiN bearing nut allowing runout accuracy of 3 microns at 4 times the diameter of the cutting tool. This ensures accuracy and reliability during aggressive or high-speed operations resulting in improved surface finish as well as cutting tool life.

The extra thick body of the VC collet chuck provides cutting rigidity and reduces dampening for aggressive milling, high-speed machining, thread milling, and ultra-precision reaming.

The VC collet chuck provides double the accuracy of ER collet chucks – with 10x better repeatability. The VC collet chuck’s 8-degree collet taper provides double the gripping power of ER collet chuck’s 16-degree taper.

VC COLLET CHUCK FEATURES

The VC collet chuck is featured packed to provide accuracy and rigidity.

COOLANT OPTIONS

An effective coolant strategy is essential to dissipate heat, reduce friction, and prolong tool life during machining. Improper coolant application can lead to tool wear, poor surface finish, and thermal damage to the workpiece. The VC collet chuck coolant options include:

Three labeled images demonstrate coolant-thru features: coolant being sprayed through a coolant-thru disc, coolant comparison, and a VC Collet Chuck with a slotted disc creating a swirling coolant jet for swarf disposal.

TAPER PLUS (DUAL CONTACT) AVAILABILITY

Also available in Taper Plus (dual contact) which offers the following advantages: A circular logo featuring a tool holder taper on the left, the words TAPER PLUS on the right, and a yellow plus sign behind PLUS, all set against a blue background.

  • Outstanding runout accuracy for longer tool life
  • Vibration dampening for increased productivity
  • High rigidity for smooth and stable cutting
  • Interchangeable between standard and dual face contact spindles
  • 53% more surface area contact than just the taper alone

Taper Plus tool holders are interchangeable between standard and dual face contact spindles for greater flexibility.
