Jaw Forming Ring Built to Maximize Jaw Life



The Dillon jaw forming ring is designed to provide a more uniform grip on the workpiece thereby maximizing jaw life for cutting and forming operations. Mounted in direct contact with the top jaw, the Dillon jaw forming ring preloads the chucking system. "Lessening the amount of jaw stock removal required during parts set-up maximizes jaw life for requalifying or reforming. Use of the device will provide a jaw surface true to the machine centerline, reduce set-up times and increase up-times for running machined parts," said a company spokesperson. Dillon Jaws support a wide variety of industries including aerospace, agriculture, automotive, consumers, coal, oil and gas, construction, machine tools, mining, paper, rail and wind energy.

Jaw forming rings are available for 5", 6", 8", 10" and 12" power chucks. They are capable of a variety of O.D. and I.D. jaw formation. Self-centering action provides equal pressure on all jaws. "The Dillon jaw forming ring compensates for jaw lift, even in worn chucks, which results in better parts concentricity," said the spokesperson.
