EROWA CTS Collet Chuck Tooling System

High productivity thanks to short resetting times

System solutions from one single source

Increase productive time

Everywhere in manufacturing, batch sizes are decreasing. This is also true for the watch-making industry, precision mechanics and medical technology. The objective is to make resetting times for variant changes as short as possible. For many forms, even if they are not rotation symmetrical, a collet chuck is the optimal fixture. With the CTS, we provide collet chucks with a defined reference position in all axes. The advantage: the reference point will still be known even after a variant change, and the machining process can be restarted immediately.

Func t ion

A wide variety of forms can be carved into the collet blanks.

Outside clamping for best stability.

Centering system for positioning in the X- and Y-axes.

Support surface for the Z-axis. Maximum speed for the rotary chuck: 8,000 n-1.

Interface for the collet chuck to be fitted to the machine table of the machine spindle.

Duct for collet operation.

Position the collet chucks in a defined manner

The CTS chuck can also be excellently integrated into smaller dividing heads.

Insert new collet chuck.

Whether in horizontal or vertical use: the CTS always positions the collet chucks accurately.

In use on a rotary transfer machine. With its overall height of 35mm, the CTS chuck takes up very little space. Clamp blank.

A precisely clamped collet

The integrated manufacture of collet chucks is one of the positive side effects of the CTS. The collet chuck blanks are machined on the CTS system basis. This results in a workpiece positioning accuracy that has never been attained before.

of

The collet chuck blank is clamped directly into the CTS chuck and then machined on a milling machine, a grinding machine or an EDM center. The reference position is included.

A range of adapters to EROWAs ITS/CTS or WEDM tooling systems allow for further machining processes on WEDM centers. The reference position is included.

Any machining work on collet chucks is executed systematically since the CTS provides the basis right from the start. The reference position is included.

The collet chuck is positioned to an accuracy of 0.002mm. The position of the workpiece depends on the precision of the part-specific holder. The reference position is included.
