When used for a long time, the three-jaw manual chuck will suffer from reduced coaxiality and bell mouth phenomenon, which directly affects the machining accuracy and clamping reliability. Practice has proved that using the following method to correct it is simple and practical, and the effect is obvious. You might as well give it a try. Taking the positive jaw chuck as an example, first use an external clamp to clamp a round bar of appropriate diameter, start the machine tool, and turn the outer circular part of the jaw. Then use an inner support to clamp a ring piece, start the machine tool, and turn the inner circular part and end face of the claw. Obviously, this can significantly improve the coaxiality between the machined inner circle of the claw and the machine tool spindle, eliminate the bell mouth phenomenon, obtain higher accuracy, and achieve the purpose of correction. Specific application fashion should pay attention to the following points. The outer circle of the round rod and the inner circle of the ring must be processed in advance and have a certain degree of accuracy. And the inner diameter of the ring body should not be too small, otherwise the concave arc of the claw surface will be too deep, and the surface of the workpiece will be easily damaged when clamping large-diameter workpieces, so attention must be paid.

　Through the factory tour arranged by the tour group, we have a close understanding of the development process, product technology, business philosophy and corporate culture of world-class companies. What makes us sigh is that these high-precision machine tools do not have many new designs in structure. Instead, they optimize the classic structure to the extreme. For example, Okuma uses dynamic pressure. The application of new technologies is mostly reflected in functional components, such as Okamoto's vacuum suction cup. Unclamped workpieces can be suspended on the suction cup and slide freely, and the workpiece can be sucked at any position when needed. We also saw workers processing parts on ordinary lathes at one booth, which shows that even now, ordinary machine tools have not completely disappeared. Through the visit, it was like watching a documentary. From the beginning to the present, the process of these companies is similar to that of many companies in my country. The difference is that they focus more on their own fields, on making the highest level products, and on serving users. Time is short, it is inevitable Read More »

The three-jaw chuck is also called the three-jaw self-centering chuck. It determines the rotation center of the workpiece based on the circumference of the workpiece clamping part, but its centering accuracy is not very high. Generally, depending on the usage occasion, a three-jaw chuck with higher clamping accuracy is selected for finishing turning, grinding, and milling parts with higher precision using a universal indexing head, while in rough turning and grinding, milling and other processes where invisible position accuracy is required, a three-jaw chuck with lower clamping accuracy is used. The principle of clamping workpieces with a three-jaw chuck is to use the chuck wrench to rotate any one of the three bevel teeth on the circumference. This drives the plane thread to rotate and drives the three claws to move together, which plays a role in self-centering the workpiece. From a mechanical structure point of view, the three bevel teeth of the chuck have the same function, but after careful inspection, the accuracy of the three bevel teeth in clamping the workpiece is not the same, and the difference is also large.

　　The three-jaw chuck consists of a chuck body, movable jaws and a jaw driving mechanism. Under the guide part of the three claws on the three-jaw chuck, there are threads that mesh with the flat threads on the back of the dish-shaped bevel gear. When the small bevel gear is turned with a wrench through the square hole, the dish-shaped gear rotates, and the flat threads on the back simultaneously drive the three claws toward or away from the center to clamp workpieces of different diameters. It is used to replace the three claws with three anti-claws to install workpieces with larger diameters. The self-centering accuracy of the three-jaw chuck is 0.05-0.15mm. The accuracy of processing workpieces with a three-jaw chuck is affected by the manufacturing accuracy of the chuck and the wear and tear after use. Chucks are divided into manual chucks and power chucks according to the power used to drive the jaws. Manual chuck: It is a universal accessory. The commonly used three-jaw chucks are self-centering three-jaw chucks and four-jaw chucks in which each jaw can move independently. The three-jaw chuck has a small bevel gear driving a large bevel gear. large bevel gear Read More »
