With flexibility, minimal interference contours and high levels of precision being key factors for modern work-holding solutions, Cannock-based Hainbuch UK says it will be demonstrating these attributes in its new range of ToPlus and SpannTop mini chucks (Hall 19 Stand 120) (www.hainbuch.com).

Making their MACH debut, these mini chucks are designed to bring “compatibility and flexibility to customers buying this modular system”.

The SpannTop and ToPlus mini series are offered with a full through-bore plus a variety of standard lengths to suit all machine types and draw-tube configurations.

Also making a MACH exhibition debut will be the Magnet Module. This has been developed for processing complex or thin-walled parts.

Featuring neodymium magnets with holding forces of up to 140N/cm2, Magnet Modules are compatible with standard Hainbuch work-holding chucks such as ToPlus and SpannTop.

Via a single screw that activates the magnet, Magnet Modules provide ease of use and fast clamping/unclamping times.

Suitable for use with the Hainbuch range of pull-back clamping devices, Magnet Modules can be set up in less than 30sec, says Hainbuch, while delivering a positional change-over accuracy of 2μm.

Another addition to the company’s product line-up is the Centrex face-drive attachment.

This allows the machining of a workpiece over its entire length, while delivering high levels of concentricity and geometric tolerance.
