Dillon Manufacturing has launched a new line of reversible hard jaws designed to streamline turning operations and reduce setup times. These high-precision jaws are engineered for both internal (ID) and external (OD) workholding, making them ideal for use in first-operation setups where fast, accurate part gripping is critical.
The new reversible jaws provide users with the ability to quickly adapt to different part sizes, ensuring secure and stable clamping. This flexibility is especially beneficial for industries that handle a range of part sizes in various production runs, as it eliminates the need for frequent jaw replacements or adjustments. With the ability to hold a specific range of part sizes, these jaws not only reduce setup time but also help improve overall efficiency on the shop floor.
Dillon’s reversible hard jaws are designed to be compatible with all major chuck brands, making them a versatile solution for most machining setups. Available in multiple configurations, including serrated, Acme key, square key, and tongue-and-groove styles, these jaws cater to various clamping preferences and provide users with multiple options to meet their specific workholding requirements. For enhanced gripping and precision, the jaws feature diamond-shaped serrations that ensure strong, slip-resistant gripping power and precise part alignment.
Constructed from 8620 case-hardened steel, Dillon’s hard jaws are built for durability and long-lasting performance. Precision-ground locating surfaces further enhance the accuracy of each jaw, ensuring reliable part positioning during turning operations. The jaws are coated with black oxide to improve corrosion resistance, ensuring that they remain in top condition even in challenging work environments.
The introduction of Dillon’s reversible hard jaws marks a significant step forward in optimizing workholding solutions for turning operations. By reducing setup times and providing a range of durable, precision options, these jaws are designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing processes, where both speed and accuracy are critical.
