Mandrels and clamping heads can also be used in the base collet chuck. This new jaw module completes the package and gives a new clamping dimension that is said to offer massive potential for users. 

Compared with normal chucks, the company says the Jaw Module offers lower weight and a smaller profile. It also offers a high degree of accuracy. The Hainbuch solution, consisting of a collet style chuck and a Jaw module is compact and as such can efficiently use spindle acceleration and deceleration, saving time and cost per piece; it also lowers the weight on the machine spindle bearings.
