Brown & Holmes (Tamworth) Ltd is launching three brand new FORKARDT precision chuck ranges at MACH 2010.  The sole agent for FORKARDT in the UK, Brown & Holmes will be using the event to showcase the launch of the Precision Tool Grind Chuck, the High Precision Diaphragm and the High Precision Chucking system.

FORKARDT 6TGC Precision Tool Grind Chucks are ideal for any tool grinding or hard turning operation that requires both a wide gripping range and micrometer accuracy.   As well as incorporating a highly precise blade arbor with clamping fingers and axial fixed end stop, an internal air purge system eliminates contamination.

The pneumatically operated 6 VMCHP High Precision Diaphragm chucks are designed for a wide range of grinding applications.  Workpieces can be gripped with both the highest precision and a cyclic testing repetition accuracy of <= 0.002 mm as the retracting effect of the diaphragm pulls workpieces back on the end stop.

The retractable, compensating 3OVEKAV 180 High Precision Chucking system is ideal for use when hard turning and grinding takes place on the same machine.  Hydraulically front end actuated with a 35mm axial chuck retraction, it offers a gripping force of up to 2000 daN and a maximum clamping pressure of 50 bar.

Visitors to the Brown & Holmes stand will also be able to see a full selection of FORKARDT standard and special rotary power chucks, expanding mandrels and steady rest packages available.  There will also be information on the technical support and installation services on offer from Brown & Holmes to help with incorporation or retrofitting of any of the components.
