New Products Quick Loc™ (QL) Pallet System Offers Fast and Accurate Fixture Changes —Jergens Jergens Inc. announces its Quick Loc™ (QL) pallet system for fixturing solutions on horizontal, vertical and rotary operations. These low-profile a d a p t e r s and pallets ensure re- peatability of 0.0003″ and pro- v i d e c l a m p - ing forces of nearly 14,000 lbs. A single drive screw is used for fast operation Manufactured from case-hardened steel for high rigidity, QL is available in multiple styles including square, rectangle, round receivers and cubes in both 52mm and 96mm patterns. The comprehensive selection of base, pallet, riser and accessories makes this system configurable for an almost unlimited range of applications. The QL pallet system, in combina- tion with Jergens top tooling choices like the new compact 130mm self- centering vise, are an industry first choice for increased machining access and quick change over. Swiss-Type Hydraulic Chucks-Big Kaiser Big Kaiser introduces hydraulic chucks for Swiss-type lathes, said to be the first Swiss-type tooling improve- ment offered by the company for in more than 30 years. These toolholders use a single wrench, enabling quick change of the cutting tools on a gang slide. To minimize machine downtime and increase operator safety, the hy- draulic chucks use a hex wrench that requires only 2 or 3 turns for both clamping and unclamping. To maintain good repeatability, once a hydraulic chuck is centered, the runout does not vary, even if a cutting tool is changed repeatedly, according to the company.
