Seco hydraulic chucks, reduction sleeves help reduce tooling inventory

Seco has developed a range of hydraulic chucks and accompanying reduction sleeves in three versions, each able to accommodate several tool shank sizes to help reduce tool inventory.

The three versions are: the HC Conventional, HCR Reinforced, and the HCS Slim.

The HC Conventional version delivers precision holding for drilling, reaming, and light milling. As a universal solution, the HCR Reinforced version provides effective holding for all applications, including high-speed machining and high-performance machining and for all tool shank types like cylindrical, Weldon, and whistle notch. The HCS Slim holder version is suitable for accessing deep, narrow part cavities during 5-axis machining at high speeds.

To accommodate multiple cutting tool sizes, 05FHC slotted reduction sleeves for the hydraulic chucks allow one holder to handle numerous shank diameters. They provide through-tool or peripheral cooling capabilities and work with either metric or inch sizes.

To keep vibration under control, the chucks incorporate internal reservoirs in which oil generates 360-degree tool clamping forces and acts as a natural vibration dampening system. Additionally, reduction sleeves compress uniformly and completely around tool shanks for precise centring and holding strength.

The slotted reduction sleeves come in sealed and peripheral coolant versions. The holders are compatible with all common machine tool spindle interfaces. Metric shank tools clamp directly in chuck IDs, while inch shanks are held through use of the reduction sleeves.
