Ultra-Fast Chuck Change System “VC System”
The VC System is a chuck change system designed to complete setup changes in a short time and maximize the operating rate of NC lathes. Since centering adjustment is not required after replacement, even non-skilled operators can easily replace the chuck using only a hex wrench. A single lathe can quickly switch between various types of chucks, enabling process consolidation and space saving in the production line.
✔︎ Easy, fast, and highly accurate setup change
The system has a two-layer structure consisting of a base unit and a chuck unit.
Chuck replacement can be performed simply by attaching or removing the chuck unit using a hex wrench.
✔︎ No centering adjustment required
The mounting surface between the base unit and the chuck unit features a high-precision dual-surface constraint design.
This allows accurate centering simply by tightening the bolts, even without skilled operators.
Different types of chucks can be exchanged easily, allowing multiple processes to be consolidated on a single machine. Compatible chuck types include: 3-jaw chucks, 2-jaw chucks, Pull-back chucks, Face clamp chucks, Collet chucks. These can be freely interchanged depending on the application.
