Dillon Manufacturing’s special top jaws can be configured to securely grip almost any workpiece, including holding a component’s ID, OD or a combination of both, the company says. These workholding solutions are available in many materials with dimensions to suit a variety of projects and are available as soft or hard jaws, or full grip jaws, for virtually any chuck manufacturer.
The company says any component dimension can be altered. Extra wide hard jaws are designed to provide maximum part contact and penetration. Hard jaws can be configured to accommodate several different diameters and doing so without serrations eliminates marring of the workpiece surface.
Extended length hard jaws can be built to grip small to medium surfaces. Incorporating multiple locating diameters gives machinists flexibility and the capability for quick changeover.
Tapered angle serrated surfaces which mirror the draft angle of the parts to be machined can be designed.
Dillon standard and custom chuck jaws, collet pads and jaws are well suited for high-speed machining, as well as precision boring, tapping, drilling and finishing across a variety of industrial markets.
