A significant leap forward in milling machine workholding has arrived with the introduction of the innovative Da Double Angle Collets. Engineered to solve the persistent challenges of secure gripping and extreme precision, these collets are setting a new benchmark for holding force, concentricity, and versatility in demanding machining environments.
Traditional collets often face limitations in achieving truly secure clamping on cylindrical workpieces, particularly across varying diameters. The collet in milling machine tackles this head-on with its unique, patented design. Unlike conventional designs, it features two precisely machined angled slots that converge at the center of the collet body. This ingenious architecture is the key to its superior performance.
The converging double angles dramatically increase the effective clamping surface area contacting the workpiece. More surface contact translates directly into significantly higher radial clamping force. This enhanced force ensures the workpiece is locked in place with unprecedented security, virtually eliminating slippage during aggressive milling operations.
The benefits extend far beyond brute force. The design inherently promotes exceptional concentricity. By distributing the clamping force more evenly and efficiently around the circumference of the workpiece, the Da Double Angle Collet achieves minimal runout. This translates directly to superior machining accuracy, improved surface finishes, and extended tool life – critical factors for high-precision components in aerospace, medical device manufacturing, automotive, and tool & die applications.
Versatility is another major advantage. The efficient force distribution allows a single Da Double Angle Collet to securely hold a wider range of cylindrical workpiece diameters within its nominal size range compared to standard collets. This reduces the need for extensive collet sets, simplifying tool crib inventory and potentially lowering costs for machine shops. Operators can achieve reliable, high-precision clamping across more jobs without constantly changing collets.
Key Benefits Summarized:
Maximum Holding Force: Angled slot design maximizes clamping surface area and radial force.
Exceptional Concentricity: Minimizes runout for superior accuracy and finish.
Reduced Vibration: Secure grip dampens chatter, protecting tools and machines.
Enhanced Versatility: Holds a broader range of diameters within its size range.
Improved Productivity: Less slippage, fewer tool changes, better part quality.
Shops running high-speed machining or tough materials like titanium or Inconel are seeing dramatic reductions in tool breakage and scrap rates. The confidence in the grip allows them to push parameters for better efficiency without sacrificing precision. It's not just a collet; it's a reliability upgrade for the entire milling process.
The Da Double Angle Collets are available in standard ER and other popular collet series sizes, ensuring compatibility with existing milling machine tooling systems. They are manufactured from high-grade alloy steel and undergo rigorous heat treatment and precision grinding to ensure consistent performance and durability.
