Hornet HPS automatic chuck

The amazing new GDS Hornet

Built with extreme precision and using the same HPS collets as the µGrind super chuck, the Hornet…

• Lets you virtually eliminate both radial runout without special tools or skill
• Lets you change diameters in seconds and maintains its precision to within two microns (under a tenth) 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 Viper
