with the optimised trapezoidal thread and the
increased guide length, this ensures aboveaverage
holding forces with a comparatively
low tightening torque of 80Nm, according to
Leitz.
NEW KEY SYSTEM, SLIM CONTOUR
Depending on the application, the collets of
the premium chuck can be easily and quickly
changed to adapt to a variety of drills and
cutters, as claimed by Leitz. The available
collets cover the range from 6-25mm. With the
machine-side connection via the HSK-E-63
adapter, speeds up to a maximum of 24,000
revolutions per minute are possible. The
high concentricity and balance quality of
the Niro Premium ensure a long tool life and
high machining quality on the workpiece.
In addition, the collet chuck features a slim
design, which improves accessibility to the
workpiece and, due to the reduced interference
contour, allows optimised five-axis machining.
Leitz has also revised the Premium’s key system
for easy mounting of collets and tools. The
optimised key surfaces not only ensure safe
operation during clamping and releasing, but
the contour of the system is also up to 15%
slimmer than comparable chucks. P
