September 1, 2014
One Northfield DPH1000W 10" diaphragm chuck is capable of locating and clamping two workpieces with different location datum. For end to end location difference between the workpieces, the chuck was manufactured with a master axial locator incorporating a button style stop (illustrated in orange) used for changeover.
One Northfield DPH1000W 10" diaphragm chuck is capable of locating and clamping two workpieces with different location datum. Due to production requirements, the end user had requested quick and accurate changeover between the workpiece numbers.
The chuck was manufactured with special stepped top jaws that could locate and clamp both workpieces without changeover. For end to end location difference between the workpieces, the chuck was manufactured with a master axial locator incorporating a button style stop used for changeover. "With replacement of only the button stop, the changeover was quick, accurate and repeatable," said a company spokesperson.
