At Prodex we meet with Christoph Allemann in charge of sales and marketing with SwissChuck to speak about the new generation of precision powerchuck. The KCHP/VKCHP type chucks are specifically designed for cylindrical grinding machines. Every chuck is filled with oil to guarantee an efficient chuck operation. The sealed design of these chucks has been further improved to either prevent contamination from swarf and coolant or oil loss. This makes these chucks nearly maintenance-free. The whole chuck design is aimed to ensure long-term accuracy and performance. The KCHP style chuck features a through hole and is drawbar-actuated, typically by a pneumatic cylinder at the back of the machine spindle. The VKCHP style chuck features a coolant or air passage through the center and is actuated by a rotating air tube.
