NEW HAINBUCH MINI CHUCKS GRIP<br />
WITH SPEED & FLEXIBILITY<br />
When it comes to workholding, the<br />
flexibility, the minimal interference contour<br />
and precision levels are all key factors.<br />
Luckily these core benefits can all now be<br />
combined with the new range of TOPlus and<br />
SPANNTOP mini chucks available from<br />
Hainbuch.<br />
The launch of the new modular mini<br />
chucks mark a new era of compatibility and<br />
flexibility for customers buying this<br />
exceptional new modular system. The<br />
leading workholding specialist has now<br />
developed the SPANNTOP mini chuck to<br />
make it compatible with an adapter ring in<br />
order to use the new modular system. The<br />
existing MANDO Adapt mandrel and the<br />
corresponding jaw module already work<br />
perfectly with the new SPANNTOP mini,<br />
meaning complete autonomy for your small<br />
component clamping needs.<br />
Unlike the SPANNTOP mini chuck, the<br />
configuration for the TOPlus system is a little<br />
different. Whereas the SPANNTOP uses an<br />
adaptor ring, the TOPlus system has a ring of<br />
attachment holes that secure the market<br />
leading jaw module. At present, Hainbuch is<br />
developing an innovative new MANDO<br />
Adapt series of adapters that will also work<br />
in harmony with the popular TOPlus system.<br />
In addition, both the SPANNTOP and<br />
TOPlus Mini Series are available with a full<br />
through-bore plus a variety of standard<br />
lengths to suit all machine types and<br />
drawtube configurations. For the customer,<br />
this exciting new range of possibilities gives<br />
maximum flexibility with O.D. clamping via<br />
the clamping head and I.D. clamping with<br />
the mandrel adapting MANDO Adapt<br />
system whilst complete jaw clamping can be<br />
accommodated with the new jaw adapting<br />
module.<br />
Of course interference of the clamping<br />
station is always a key factor when selecting<br />
a suitable solution. From this perspective, the<br />
new Hainbuch mini chucks minimise the<br />
interference contour to provide better<br />
workpiece accessibility and more room for<br />
manoeuvre in confined work envelopes. This<br />
is more prevalent in modern machine tools<br />
with multiple tool posts and driven tooling<br />
configurations where set-up times and access<br />
to tooling is critical. In addition, the smaller<br />
and more compact mini chucks have a lower<br />
mass and this reduces the centrifugal forces<br />
and retains the clamping pressure when<br />
machining at high speeds.<br />

ECLIPSE MAGNETICS OFFERS<br />
INSPECTION AND<br />
CERTIFICATION SERVICES FOR<br />
LIFTING EQUIPMENT<br />
Eclipse Magnetics has launched a complete inspection and<br />
certification service for magnetic lifting devices from all<br />
manufacturers. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment<br />
Regulations 1998 states that “Lifting Equipment” must be thoroughly<br />
examined and, where appropriate inspected by a competent person at<br />
least every 12 months, or 6 months in case of “accessories for lifting”.<br />
As part of the inspection service, Eclipse Magnetics can also carry<br />
out any necessary repairs. Tim Hollingsworth General Sales Manager<br />
for Magnet Materials & Assemblies at Eclipse Magnetics said: “Many<br />
people are unaware of the legal requirements associated with lifting<br />
equipment. Our checking and certification service will not only<br />
ensure that your lifter is certified in accordance with the relevant<br />
regulations, customers’ can rest assured that their device is fit for<br />
purpose and in full, efficient, working order.”<br />
Eclipse Magnetics’ range of magnetic lifters includes the Ultralift<br />
Plus, a premier lifting magnet with built in safety features that<br />
provides fast and efficient lifting for a wide range of loads in the<br />
factory or workshop. As the material is permanently magnetic, no<br />
power is required to operate the magnet, therefore there are no<br />
operating costs. Capable of lifting both round and flat section loads<br />
in a variety of sizes, the Ultralift range also includes a thin plate<br />
option.<br />

SPECIALISED NLD/ NGD<br />
3-D CHIPBREAKER DESIGN<br />
PERFECTS CHIP CONTROL<br />
Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal has extended its range of highly<br />
successful SUMIDIA DA1000 high density, ultra-fine polycrystalline<br />
diamond (PCD) turning, milling and boring inserts to include<br />
SUMIDIA ‘Break Master’ with specialised NLD/NGD 3-D<br />
chipbreakers for semi- and fine finishing tasks. The DA1000 has<br />
proven to have a distinct advantage for users involved with heavier<br />
and interrupted cutting cycles in wrought and cast aluminium alloys<br />
due to its superior strength, shear and wear resistance which is some<br />
1.5 times greater than conventional PCD grades. Also, the DA1000<br />
insert has a level of toughness similar to carbide.<br />
Both ‘Break Master’ chipbreaker designs incorporate a 3-D<br />
presentation for the top rake angle with the NLD Type able to<br />
achieve excellent orders of surface quality due to its improved chip<br />
control and a sharp cutting edge with a 25 deg top rake. Meanwhile,<br />
the NGD Type with a 20 deg top rake is ideally suitable for more<br />
general machining cycles and medium finishing cuts.<br />
The SUMIDIA PCD range uses a fine sintered diamond powder<br />
on a carbide substrate which is ideal for non-metallic materials and<br />
non-ferrous machining.<br />
