TMX Workholding has delivered a 71" manual chuck. Weighing in at 8,000 lbs. the 71" independent 4-jaw manual chuck is constructed out of heavy duty forged steel. The chuck was engineered to order for a large manufacturer in Louisiana for use on a large welding positioner.
According to the company, engineered to order workholding has become a specialty of TMX Workholding. After discussing the customer's needs, TMX designs a customized workholding solution to meet the specific demands. Aside from the standard workholding offerings such as manual, collet and power chucks, the Engineered Solutions line has really allowed TMX the opportunity to work closely with customers and end users throughout the design process. The engineered to order approach allows TMX to address a customer's part geometry and throughput requirements in an effort to provide a cost effective solution.
"Working closely with the customer, we developed this 71" 4-jaw, heavy duty chuck for use on a large welding positioner. This manufacturer builds products for the oil and gas industry and needed a large chuck to hold its BOP (blowout prevention) valves while it completes its cladding process," said Shawn Luschei, TMX Workholding Solutions, Vice President. "We are now in the process of designing a 74" version of the same chuck for a slightly larger positioner."
TMX Workholding Solutions is an operating business unit of Toolmex Industrial Solutions.
