Collet pad jaws suitable for machining small-diameter parts

Collet pads and collet pad jaws are available from Dillon Chucks & Jaws for machining small-diameter parts. Collet pads can be changed quickly, and the jaws can be adapted to many styles of chucks, making them suitable for machining of stems, spools, crimp assemblies, manifolds for high-pressure air systems, medical parts, miscellaneous fittings, mechanical and transmission components, and specialty valves. Metal-to-metal fits help maintain accuracy.

A collet pad top jaw system increases a chuck’s range of workholding capabilities, allowing more varied part geometries to be machined with the same jaw system. According to the company, machining routines can be more aggressive.

Jaw and collet changes generally take a few minutes.
