Specialty Machine Tool Components

Specialty machine tool components are specialized or proprietary products and accessories for machine tools. Examples of specialty machine tool components include specialized and proprietary chucks, collets, face drivers, fixturing and setup clamps, guide and drill bushings, handwheels, hose clamps, and preload springs, spacers and washers. Chucks are attachments used to hold workpieces or cutting tools on a machine tool. Collets are precision, work-holding chucks with a slotted socket that, when tightened, automatically centers on a finished round or specialized stock. Face drivers use hydraulic or mechanical force to apply pressure to the face of a part in order to grip and turn the part in a grinding or turning machine. Fixturing clamps and set-up clamps are specialty machine tool components for tool or part fixturing. Guide and drill bushings are used to guide drills, punches, pillars or other tools. Handwheels are manually-operated devices that are used to adjust machinery and control access to compartments. Hose clamps and band clamps are used to secure pipe, hose, tubing and mating circular parts together. Preload springs, spacers and washers are used to provide end-play take up or a constant preload for bearings, gears and other mechanical components.

Specialty machine tool components include jig and fixturing components, live centers, dead centers, machine tool spindles, machine way wipers, machining and multi-spindle heads, tailstocks and bench centers, and toggle clamps. Jig and fixturing components are specialty machine tool components used to machine multiple workpieces. Live centers are used to hold or support a workpiece in a lathe or other machine tool, often between the headstock and tailstock. Unlike dead centers, live centers revolve with the workpiece. Machine tool spindles are rotating components used to hold and drive cutting tools or workpieces on lathes, milling machines and other machine tools. Machine way wipers provide a seal between a machine slide or way and a stationary surface. Machining and multiple spindle heads are specialty machine tool components that mount on machine tool spindles. Tailstocks are used on lathes and other machine tools to support one end of the workpiece through contact with a live or dead center. Bench centers are table top mounted units that support a workpiece between two tailstocks during inspection. Toggle clamps are quick-action, hold-down clamps used to keep a work piece stationary.
