Drake precision technology (changzhou) Co.,Ltd. is a technology enterprise. In order to meet demands of the market, Drake is specialized in the research, development, production and sale of fixture. DRAKE manufactures high quality 2J CNC collets, 5C collets, 16C collets and 3J collets as well as many other sizes such as 1C collets and 3C collets.

DRAKE Collet Chuck

A Collet Chuck is a type of tool holder used in machining operations to hold workpieces securely in place while they are being machined. It is designed to grip the workpiece tightly and accurately, allowing for precise and efficient machining operations. The collet chuck is a preferred tool holder for applications that require high precision, such as milling, drilling, and reaming. A collet chuck is an essential tool in machining, widely used for holding workpieces or tools in both CNC lathe and manual lathe operations. When precision and repeatability are critical, a hydraulic collet chuck is often preferred for its ability to provide consistent clamping force, making it ideal for CNC collet chucks. There are various CNC collet types available, designed to meet the specific needs of different machining processes. For instance, a lathe collet chuck is specially engineered to securely hold cylindrical workpieces, which is crucial in CNC lathe operations. Leading collet chuck manufacturers offer a range of products that cater to the diverse demands of the industry, ensuring that machinists have the right collet chuck for lathe or CNC collet chuck to achieve high-precision machining tasks.

DRAKE can provide all the correct mounting adapters for spindles and rotary tables, as well as drawtube adapters, based on design information provided by the customer to fit your spindles, rotary tables and other machines. to suit your spindle, rotary table and drawtube requirements.

These precision lathe chucks will mount directly on American Standard (A4, A5, A6, A8) and Camlock (D4, D5, D6, D8) type spindles. DRAKE lathe chucks are also frequently used on cylindrical grinders, rotary tables and many other machines. The DRAKE Pneumatic Collet Chuck Assembly can be used to convert CNC lathes and grinders to workholding units with 16C, 2J, 3J and 5C collets.    

These productivity enhancing CNC collet systems have built-in concentricity adjustment (less than 0.00050" TIR) and can be installed on all standard US spindles in less than 20 minutes. Only one complete lathe collet assembly is required, as each spindle adapter in the assembly accepts any DRAKE 16C, 2J, 3J and 5C collet adapters. The conversion is done quickly and easily by simply removing and replacing the six bolts on the collet adapter, which can also be used on Camlock-type spindles.

How does DRAKE make a collet chuck that satisfies you?

The manufacturing process of collet chuck can vary depending on the specific design and materials used, DRAKE usually follows the following steps to manufacture collet chucks for our customers.

Design: The first step in manufacturing a collet chuck is to design the product. This involves creating detailed drawings and specifications that define the size, shape, and material requirements for the chuck.

Material selection: Once the design is complete, the next step is to select the appropriate materials for the collet chuck. The chuck is typically made from high-quality steel or other durable metals that can withstand the rigors of machining operations.

Machining: The manufacturing process for a collet chuck involves a variety of machining operations, including milling, drilling, turning, and grinding. These operations are used to shape the various components of the chuck, including the body, collet, and locking mechanism.

Heat treatment: After the components have been machined, they are typically heat-treated to improve their strength and durability. This involves subjecting the components to high temperatures and then cooling them in a controlled manner.

Assembly: Once the components have been machined and heat-treated, they are assembled into a complete collet chuck. This involves fitting the collet into the chuck body and attaching the locking mechanism.

DRAKE has a high level of precision capability and a reservoir of expertise to ensure that the final collet chuck meets the stringent requirements of the machining operation.
