Quick-Change Collet Systems

Quick-Change Collet Systems
HQC Quick-Change collet systems have been expanded to include all CNC lathes with A2-5 and A2-7 spindles
N/Ahange collet systems have been expanded to include all CNC lathes with A2-5 and A2-7 spindles, all Hardinge CNC lathes, and multi-spindle automatics made by Acme-Gridley, Cone, New Britain, and Wickman. N/Ahange collets can be changed from one size collet to another size in less than 20 seconds, providing greater uptime, especially on multi-spindle automatics.

Chucking forces are higher than jaw chucks and even higher than solid and master collets. Because of extra gripping force, tool life increases and parts come off the machine quicker. Operators can replace HQC seal inserts, minimizing downtime. The collet system is shorter than standard spindle adapters, providing more work area and the ability to machine closer to the spindle for better finished parts.
