Soft Blank Top Jaws Hold Materials Without Marking Surface
March 1, 2014
Soft blank top jaws from Dillon Manufacturing, Inc. are designed to provide a smooth gripping surface, low total indicator reading (TIR), and have greater holding power due to increased part contact. The smooth jaw surface leaves little or no markings on the finished surfaces.
The jaws are available in 1018 steel and 6061 aluminum, as well as 4140, 8620 and A2, brass, Delrin or stainless steel to suit a variety of CNC or manual chuck projects involving turned or bored parts. Dillon soft blank top jaws can be removed and later reused for the same operation, or machined to grip an altogether new part until the blanks are consumed, making them ideal for machine shops that routinely handle parts with different shapes and geometries. The soft blank top jaws can be custom bored, turned or shaped. A shoulder can be machined to provide a locating stop for parts to gain close tolerance repeatability for the parts length and depth. They may be left soft or heat treated if the material is steel, depending upon project and quantities machined. Dillon soft blank top jaws can be used for second operation finishing work such as shafts, gear blanks, wheel hub and bearings.
Dillon Manufacturing manufactures a complete line of standard and custom workholding products, including chuck jaws, chucks, vises jaws, soft jaws, hard jaws, collet pad jaw systems, chuck lubrication and more. All products are made in the USA and Dillon is ISO 9000:2008 registered.
