FlexC® 140mm, Style A, Pull-back, Dead-Length® Workstop, A2-6 Spindle

The Hardinge FlexC® Style A Collet System consists of a spindle mount assembly. Vulcanized collet heads and wrenches are purchased separately. The Style A Dead-length® Collet System can be used as a thru-hole for bar work or with a work stop for chucking. The clamping heads consist of hardened steel segments that are joined together by a vulcanization process. Their outstanding characteristics include parallel workpiece clamping, superb accuracy with a minimum of deformation of the work piece, and quick-change capability. If the Hardinge FlexC® Style A Collet System is used as a dead-length system the work stop is inserted into the workstop adapter. When part length control is not required the work stop can be removed.

The Hardinge FlexC® Style A Collet System is a pull-back system. The collet draws in against a stationary work stop for part length control providing very stable gripping of the workpiece. The overall rigidity of the entire gripping unit has a very positive effect on tool wear. You can "short grip" parts by machining a special work stop to the desired length.
