Big Benefit #1 Ten-Second Collet Changes Reduced Setup Time = Greater Throughput and Higher Profits!

With the Royal Quick-Grip™ CNC Collet Chuck, collet changes take just seconds. Here’s how it works:

1. The unique collets are constructed of hardened steel segments securely joined together by vulcanized rubber. Each collet contains an annular hook and groove configuration on the rear section of its outer diameter.

2. The installation tool incorporates steel pins that align with reamed holes on the collet face. When these pins engage the face holes and the trigger on the tool is actuated, the collet becomes temporarily compressed.

3. In its compressed state, the collet can then be inserted into the collet chuck, where the hooks on the rear of the collet segments become axially aligned with a retaining groove in the chuck.

4. Releasing the installation tool allows the collet to spring open, seating the hooks in the groove and drawing the matching ID/OD tapers into full, positive contact. The collet is now installed.

How much time do you waste boring jaws? The Royal Quick-Grip™ pays for itself in no time.

While many users purchase the Royal Quick-Grip™ CNC Collet Chuck for its lightning-fast collet changes and wide gripping range, another major benefit of this system is its extreme accuracy.

With CNC collet chucks, there are several factors which affect overall system accuracy.
These include:

• Accuracy and tolerance of chuck mount (taper angle, gage line diameter, squareness of mounting flange, etc.)
• Tolerance and fit between chuck components (body to mounting adapter, closing sleeve to chuck bore, etc.)
• Accuracy and tolerance of collets (OD collet angle, bore sizing, concentricity of ID to OD, etc.)

The manufacturing processes for Royal CNC collet chucks and collets have all been fully optimized to achieve the absolute tightest tolerances and highest accuracies. While we guarantee our chucks at 0.″ TIR between the A-mount taper and collet chuck closing sleeve, they often run at 0.″ or better! Round-bore collet accuracy is also guaranteed to be within 0.″ TIR.

This means that out of the box, with absolutely no indicating in, you can expect to achieve a Quick-Grip™ total system accuracy of 0.″ TIR or better. We know of no other collet chuck manufacturer that can consistently produce such an exact level of precision.

Big Benefit #3 Industry-Leading Gripping Range – 0.062″

Spring-Type Collet

With a spring-type collet, unless the bore is exactly sized to the workpiece diameter there will be reduced contact, resulting in compromised accuracy and grip force.

Quick-Grip Collet

With a Quick-Grip™ collet, the segments always remain parallel to the workpiece,  helping to maintain optimum accuracy and grip force.

Royal Quick-Grip™ Collets have a much wider collapse range than conventional spring collets.  A spring-type collet can only be compressed by up to 0.005″ before there is a sharp drop off in both grip force and accuracy due to the changing angle of the gripping surface.

However, with the unique design of the Royal Quick-Grip™ collet, each collet segment is bonded to the adjacent segments with vulcanized rubber. This ensures that the collet segments always remain parallel to the workpiece as the collet is compressed, giving the Quick-Grip™ collet a full collapse range of .062″ (nominal diameter ± .031).  For the QG-100, this range is even greater – 0.080″!

Advantages of this system include:

• The ability to compensate for oversized and undersized bar stock.
• Superior accuracy and grip force – by remaining parallel to the workpiece, each collet segment makes contact over its entire length. With old-technology spring collets, over-collapsing results in just a narrow ring of contact near the collet face.
• The wide range of the Royal Quick-Grip™ collet provides the ability to clear larger diameters in order to grip on smaller diameters. This “over the shoulder” feature offers second-op advantages over traditional spring collets.

Big Benefit #4

Slash Cycle Times and Boost Throughput

Many Royal Quick-Grip™ users have told us that they have made back their investment in just a few short weeks thanks to such a significant increase in throughput over their previous three-jaw chucks and older-style collet chucks.

Royal Quick-Grip™ Offers Unmatched Grip Force and Rigidity

The parallel-grip functionality of Royal Quick-Grip™ Collets provides extremely high grip force by maintaining workpiece contact over the entire length of each collet segment (see image above). Additionally, the design and construction of all Royal Quick-Grip™ CNC Collet Chucks has been optimized for rock-solid rigidity.

This combination of tremendous grip force and outstanding rigidity results in something that every manufacturer strives for – the ability to drastically increase speeds, feeds and depth of cut, without sacrificing part accuracy or surface finish.

Big Benefit #5 Most Compact Collet Chucks in the Industry

Royal Accu-Length™ CNC Collet Chucks have been optimized for tool clearance and rigidity. Short lengths maximize the usable space inside the machining envelope, while extremely compact nose diameters reduce tool interference and enable machining to take place closer to the spindle.

The company is the world’s best CNC Collet Chuck Price supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Compact
(Standard Length/Compact Nose Diameter)

The traditional length ensures that these chucks can accommodate most machine drawtubes, while a greatly reduced nose diameter offers the best tool clearance in the industry.

Ultra-Compact
(Compact Length/Compact Nose Diameter)

These are the smallest collet chucks available. Often mounted on sub-spindles, Royal’s Ultra-Compact CNC Collet Chucks make a great choice when maximum z-axis capacity is the primary requirement.

Extended-Length
(Longer Length/Compact Nose Diameter)

Royal stocks a few chuck models in extended-length versions to accomodate a handful of machines with limited z-axis travel. As a rule, it is usually best to choose the shortest chuck model possible for your machine.

Big Benefit #6

Exclusive Royal Bolt & Go™ Mounting Advantage

Knock 30 Minutes Off Your Setup Time with Royal Bolt & Go™

All Royal CNC Collet Chucks mount quickly, easily, and accurately due to our exclusive Bolt & Go™ mounting interface.

Many Royal chuck models mount directly to the lathe spindle without the need for an adapter plate. However, for models that do use a plate, a precision–ground tapered fit between the plate’s male pilot and chuck body’s female recess ensures a consistent, near-perfect fit without the need for any adjustment. This precision fit also enhances overall system rigidity by providing both face and taper contact.

Other chuck manufacturers use a less precise approach. Instead of providing a near-perfect tapered interface between the chuck body and plate, they rely on a loose fit between a male cylindrical pilot on the plate and an oversized bore within the chuck body. Because there is clearance between these two components, jack screws located around the circumference must be used to radially true-up the chuck on the plate. This process of using the jack screws and an indicator to dial out the runout each time a chuck is mounted wastes valuable production time. The rigidity of this design is also significantly less due to the limited point-contact provided by the screws against the pilot as compared to the full-contact tapered fit of the Royal Bolt & Go™ interface.

Drew,

I see no reason you can't make your own adapter and draw tube nut. I'd start with some good already hardened tool steel. Mid to upper 40's RC would be good.

This is completely OT but if I may ask you a quick question. Are you loading long bar stock? Wondering what you did for draw tube liners on you puma 300? Store bought? Make your own? Haven't worked this out on mine yet. Decide to keep the machine, did ya? Thanks...


Brent

yeah, couldn't find a job and out of no where I get a call from a guy I used to work with who has done sales at a couple of other shops. So we partnered up and he's hustling whatever he can find and I'm doing a few things here and there for the customer I have. Fingers crossed.

For draw tube liners I'm probably going to use DOM and uhmw. I made a short one completely out of uhmw for 1.75 and it works pretty good. When I get a PO for these parts I'll have to make them, should cost around $200 to make 2 of them. I'll take pictures.

Well 16C because the collets are cheap and i won't be running anything bigger than 1-3/8" hex. So they are just as simple as making something that fits a collet and on the adapter plane, then making a custom draw tube nut?

This sounds like you have a product that you make, and that will be all the machine sees.

Well I'm not privy to what your recent issues were, but by the sounds of it - you are getting new work in from new sources.
I don't understand how these two statements can both be made in the same thread on the same day?

Who's to say that a 2-1/2" job doesn't walk through the door the day after you finish making the special 16C chuck?

I understand that you don't want to get into too expensive of collets, but with all the room in the world to work with, and thinking that I might make my own anyway - I think that I would make a closer for a standard 2-5/8" Acme collet. Then buy an S-26 Master for it from Hardinge, and then you can buy pads any size that you want from stock up to 2.625.

If you need better TIR than the masters will allow - you can just buy the solid collet for that job. Still an off-the-shelf collet.

Need a wee bit more capacity yet? You should be able to git solid 2-5/8 Acme collets up to prox 3" capacity.
(Since no pusher involved, you can run O/S stock through - and this is done on "Collet chucker" applications everyday.


S26 is a high volume platform and reasonably priced. You get over that and things start to get $ and not stocked as much, so ...


edit:

You could check with any of the screw machine supply businesses in S Michigan for clean/used/one owner solid collets as well.
(Not 100% sure if they would want to sell just one - but they likely will)


-----------------------

Think Snow Eh!
Ox I only have the one lathe right now, so as soon as I would be done with the collet chuck work I'd have to put the 12" chuck back on. If something would come thru the door with the little chuck set up I still have the manual if it's not too much BS. The small parts I would be making have a quite a bit of work, little pressure fittings. Obviously if everything goes well I can get a dedicated machine for that little stuff. I just don't want to spend a whole lot on a temporary set up, at the moment I can afford to spend a weekend building a chuck vs spending $+ on something ready to go. If whatever I make keeps around .002 to .003 that'll be good.
