Collet pads and collet pad jaws from Dillon Chucks & Jaws (Springfield, OH) are specially designed, quick-change tooling for machining small diameter parts.
Collet pads and jaws are ideal for machining of stems, spools, crimp assemblies, manifolds for high pressure air systems, medical parts, miscellaneous fittings, mechanical and transmission components and specialty valves, and more. Metal-to-metal fits maintain accuracy.
A collet pad top jaw system increase a chuck’s range of workholding capabilities, allowing more varied part geometries to be machined with the same jaw system. With optimized collet pad jaws and collets, machining routines can be more aggressive, resulting in shorter cycle times and more consistent quality output as well.
Changing over to collet pad jaws is easily accomplished and requires just a jaw change.
