Fast changeover
04 March 2014
With the B-Top3 modular clamping system from Hainbuch everything is designed to fit efficiently together. Fast changeover from outside to inside clamping with collet or mandrel can be achieved in a couple of minutes.

The chuck has guidance jaws with high repeatability which are especially suitable for small bore sizes and are said to give maximum repeatability. Repeated jaw skimming is not necessary in most cases, saving time and effort and increasing efficiency.
The new lubrication system is said to ensure improved clamping force, longer lubrication intervals and improved overall operation of the wedge bar principle.
Due to the Centrotex positioning system there is no need to adjust for radical accuracy, the collet chuck and mandrel can be loaded within 0.005mm
Everything is safety protected, changeovers can only be completed with all parts in the correct position.
