The amazing new GDS “super chuck”
This remarkable new tool grinding chuck from GDS:
-
- Lets you virtually eliminate both radial and axial runout (weeble-wobble) without special tools or skill
-
- Lets you change diameters in seconds and maintains its precision to within two microns at 2½ x D without adjustment
-
- Maintains TIR to within 5 microns throughout the grind (assuming normal grinding forces)
-
- Performs like this over tens of thousands of clampings
-
- Requires a relatively short clamping length on the blank to achieve constant holding force and concentricity
-
- Features a tapered profile and smaller nose diameter than hydraulic holders for better wheel clearance and freedom from interference
-
- Offers excellent dampening properties for uniform material removal, optimized feed rates, excellent surface finish, and significantly reduced grinding wheel wear
-
- Suitable for both high production and regrinding
-
- Handles shanks from 3 to 20 mm (⅛ to ¾ inches) (For larger tools, see the new Viper)
Available for WALTER Helitronic machines (including the Micro and Mini Automation) and the ANCA MX, FX, & TX machines. Officially it’s called the μGrind, (i.e. Mu-Grind or Micron Grind). We can’t help calling it the “super chuck.” Either way, prepare to be amazed, watch the video below, and reserve yours now!
