BIG KAISER's hydraulic chucks for swiss lathes use a single wrench, which makes for a quick and easy change of the cutting tools on a gang slide. To minimize machine downtime and provide operator safety, the chucks use a simple hex wrench that requires only 2-3 turns for both clamping and unclamping.
Once a hydro-chuck is centered, the runout will not vary, even if a cutting tool is changed repeatedly. Runout of fewer than 3 microns at 4 times diameter can be achieved. The chucks offer a clamping range of ø4-8mm. The chucks have a standard pipe thread for coolant through connection and are available for most Citizen and Star machines with 3/4 in or 22 mm straight shank.
