Draw-Down Chuck



This chuck is a 8 inch, 3-jaw draw-down chuck. Our customer needed a way to ensure part was being held tight against the part stop during machining. Our customer was machining a gear carrier where repeatibility had to be less than .0005.

We proposed this design to replace their current 3-jaw sliding chuck that was not performing to their needs. This chuck was fit into the old machine envelope with exact part stop heights and exact chuck diameter and weight specifications.

Troubleshooting & Engineering Assurance

Troubleshooting
Skill-Craft specializes in problem solving with over half a century of knowledge in workholding applications. Let Skill-Craft’s engineers provide you with a solution if you are having trouble with:

  • Constant maintenance of current chuck
  • Out of round finished products
  • High scrap rates
  • Non-conforming production parts
  • Chatter while machining
  • Long change over times
  • Poorly manufactured replacement tooling
  • Long lead times for chuck assemblies or other perishable items
    •

    Engineering Assurance
  • Skill-Craft has the latest CAD and CAE tools available.
  • CAD and CAE software's are an integral part to developing the best chuck for your application. This ensures you before the build that you will receive the safest, longest lasting chuck or workholding device available.
  • We determine jaw force, stress/strains due to loading, resultant jaw forces due to centrifugal force, and resultant stresses during machining, prior to build.
  • Let Skill-Craft provide you with a concept today!

    Custom Chucks
    		We custom design workholding solutions to fully address the parts features and workholding application. Some companies create “custom” chucks by altering a standard item to “make it work”; Skill-Craft takes a systematic approach to design a chuck custom to you – custom to your application and custom to your part.

    Whether you are replacing an existing chuck or having troubles with a current application, Skill-Craft engineers can provide you with the appropriate solution to your needs.
