Major award for MultiChuck MMY clamping system
The ability of the Leader MultiChuck MMY clamping system to reduce set-up times and achieve rapid concentric clamping of components proved a hit at the International Machine Tool Industry Awards
Comprising a series of small metal plates vulcanised over a rubber liner, as Mandrex is activated the liner compresses.
This action causes each plate to move out to securely hold the ID; individual plates compensate by swivelling or twisting as necessary to accommodate any irregularities in the bore.
Activated by screw nut, Mandrex can be operated manually, automatically with pneumatics or hydraulics or via a machine tailstock.
The system is proving very popular in Continental Europe with manufacturers of rollers for photocopiers, printers and fax machines.
