E-Series EDM Automation Chuck for WEDM & Inspection Transfer
ITS-style datum chuck platform for EDM, WEDM, grinding, CMM and electrode preparation workflows.
Use the E-Series when the real need is one repeatable reference that follows electrodes or precision parts across EDM-related stations. Instead of reading the page as one long list of Model 100 variants, start by locking the holder standard, transfer chain, and air-routing limits that decide which chuck style fits.
The E-Series is intended for ITS-style electrode and precision-part transfer across EDM, WEDM, preparation, grinding, and inspection stations. Select it only after the exact holder, adaptive spigot, chuck orientation, mounting, stack height, loads, air circuit, and acceptance method are verified for every station; a shared family name does not prove interchangeability. Compare the R-Series when the required machine-side interface follows a System 3R-style route.
Engineering boundary: <0.003 mm is catalog-listed component data for NT-S100P100V1, NT-S100P100V2, NT-S100P100V3 and NT-S100P80V1, not a complete-process guarantee. ITS 50 / ER-036345-style fit, air-loss behavior and automation suitability require the approved model drawing plus verification of holder and spigot geometry, mounting, load and orientation, pneumatic circuit, sensing, safety-related controls, and the complete machine/cell risk assessment.
Best fit
Choose this route when one datum reference must follow the EDM chain
Best for electrode and precision-part workflows that need repeatable transfer between EDM, WEDM, grinding, presetting, and inspection.
Compare first
Check holder standard, chuck orientation, and air access
That usually decides whether a standard pneumatic, side-vertical, or right-angle layout is the cleanest fit before model-by-model comparison.

Models, Specifications & Fit
Current product data describes mechanical self-locking clamping with pneumatic release on the four listed models. Confirm the exact model drawing, holder and spigot, load direction, pneumatic circuit, air-loss state, monitoring, and acceptance method; installed datum transfer, changeover, and automation results require FAT/SAT validation in the complete process.
Construction, cleaning & options
The catalogue lists hardened stainless-steel construction. Cleaning, airtightness monitoring, internal passages, sealing, and port functions can depend on the selected model and circuit; confirm the approved drawing, manual, environment, and order scope before release.
Technical Specifications
Catalogue-aligned data for the four currently listed E-Series models. Values describe the named component under its specified conditions; they are not blanket limits or guarantees for the holder stack, robot payload, machining load, cross-machine datum, or finished process.

Accessory plates, spigots & holder-side hardware
The catalogue lists positioning plates and a clamping-spigot reference alongside the chuck bodies. Treat each as a candidate order component and verify its exact model, revision, geometry, mounting, and approved interface drawing before release.
| Accessory | Model | Configuration / detail | Material | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powerful positioning plate | NT-S100P90V1 | Each positioning plate contains 8 × M8 supporting feet. | Hardened stainless steel | 0.15 kg |
| Powerful positioning plate | NT-S100P90V2 | 4 × M8 support feet + 4 × M5 screws. | Hardened stainless steel | 0.11 kg |
| 50 positioning plate | NT-S100P50V1 | Each positioning plate contains 4 × M8 support feet. | Hardened stainless steel | 0.03 kg |
| Matching clamping spigot | NT-S200P55V2 | Catalogue-associated spigot candidate for Model 100 configurations; verify the exact chuck model, revision, holder geometry, and approved drawing before order release. | Hardened stainless steel | 0.08 kg |
Why this matters: component repeatability alone does not qualify the transfer chain. Release the order only after the holder-side plate, spigot geometry, mounting stack, loads, environment, and measurement method are verified for every bench, machine, and inspection station.
System Selection & ITS-Style Integration Guide
Treat the E-Series as a model-specific datum component, not a generic interchangeable chuck. Select by exact holder and spigot geometry, mounting pattern, orientation, stack height, load and centre of gravity, machine access, environment, pneumatic circuit, options, and agreed acceptance method; verify every station before order release.
Pick the right holder strategy
- Use the ITS 50 / ER-036345-style route only after the exact holder, adaptive spigot, chuck revision, and machine-side drawing are matched.
- Evaluate EDM, WEDM, electrode preparation, grinding, or inspection as application candidates; model fit and installed results remain process-specific.
- Define the mounting stack, load direction, centre of gravity, environment, and traceable master or gauge for each station.
Design for unattended automation
- Mechanical self-locking with pneumatic release describes the listed mechanism; confirm the selected model's air-loss state and holding behavior. It is not by itself a machine or robot-cell safety function.
- Clamp, seating, and pressure feedback may provide process-state inputs, but they are not automatically safety-rated. Define guarding, safety-related controls, safe state, reset and recovery through the complete-cell risk assessment.
- Where the selected model and circuit include air blast, use it as one cleaning step and verify seating separately; air blast alone does not prove a clean interface or installed repeatability.

Automation ports, signals & best practices
Application Cases
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
A selected E-Series configuration can be evaluated for die-sinking or wire EDM after the exact model, holder interface, load, dielectric environment, cleaning, and measurement plan are validated.
High-Speed Milling
A verified holder stack may support offline preparation and high-speed electrode milling. Confirm rigidity, balance, dynamic load, tool clearance, and the measured changeover baseline for the selected configuration.
Grinding & Jig Grinding
A selected and qualified datum stack can support grinding or jig-grinding transfer; tolerance and surface-finish results depend on the complete mounting, load, environment, machine, and measurement process.
Tool & Mold Making
A verified common-holder route may support transfer among electrode preparation, EDM, and inspection. Measure datum shift, process capability, and lead-time change for every qualified station instead of assuming a universal result.

E-SERIES VARIANTS
Four E-Series chuck bodies for different cells
The catalogue lists single-station, lateral, right-angle, and EDM body variants. Before PO release, verify the exact model, holder and spigot geometry, mounting, load and orientation, circuit, ports, options, and approved drawing; the family name alone does not prove a shared interface.

Pneumatics, Setup & Maintenance for Unattended EDM
Published <0.003 mm repeat positioning accuracy is model-specific component data. Installed repeatability depends on the selected chuck, holder and spigot, mounting stack, load, environment, cleaning, temperature, circuit, and measurement method; define project-specific FAT/SAT acceptance before production.
Recommended air supply
- The four listed models publish 0.5–0.8 MPa; confirm pressure at the chuck and the selected circuit.
- Specify filtration, drying, drainage, hose, valve, and dielectric protection from the approved drawing, manual, and site conditions.
- Record pressure, leakage, and response during the agreed commissioning test.
Setup & verification
- Use the approved adapter, bolt pattern, dowels, torque, and flatness method for the selected model.
- Cycle, load, and measure the installed stack using the agreed FAT/SAT sample size and traceable method.
- Qualify a master holder or gauge at every station and record the cross-station results.
Maintenance & reliability
- Define inspection and cleaning intervals from the actual dielectric, graphite, chip, cycle, sealing, and measured-condition data.
- Where the selected model includes air blast, combine it with visual inspection and manual cleaning; do not rely on air alone.
- Inspect seals, springs, holders, spigots, and ports to the approved manual and recorded condition; define spares at RFQ.
Robot-cell boundary: clamp, seating, and pressure signals may support process control, but they are not automatically safety-rated and cannot replace guarding, a validated safety-related control system, failure-state analysis, safe-state and recovery logic, complete-cell risk assessment, or FAT/SAT.
Acceptance & commissioning checks
Validation Checklist & Commissioning Plan
Use a project-specific purchase, FAT, and SAT plan to verify the selected model, holder and spigot, mounting, loads, environment, circuit, fault states, repeatability method, and complete-cell acceptance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
What repeat positioning accuracy is listed for the E-Series Model 100 variants?
Catalog data lists <0.003 mm repeat positioning accuracy for NT-S100P100V1, NT-S100P100V2, NT-S100P100V3, and NT-S100P80V1. This is model data, not a complete-process guarantee; verify the selected chuck, holder and spigot, mounting stack, environment, load, measurement method, and installed process during FAT/SAT.
How does the clamping mechanism work, and what force is listed?
The four listed models use pneumatic release with mechanical self-locking clamping. Catalog-listed force is >6,000 N for NT-S100P100V1, NT-S100P100V2, and NT-S100P100V3, while NT-S100P80V1 lists 4,000 N and a 15 kg clamping load. The 15 kg value is not a blanket workpiece load, robot payload, dynamic load, or machining-load rating. Confirm the selected drawing, load direction, pneumatic circuit, and air-loss behavior; loss of air alone does not prove that a machine or robot cell is safe.
Is it intended for ITS 50 / ER-036345-style holders and pallets?
The page identifies an ITS 50 / ER-036345-style application route, not blanket interchangeability. Before order release, confirm the exact holder and adaptive-spigot geometry, mounting pattern, orientation, stack height, load, and machine-side drawing for every station.
Which processes is it best suited for?
The E-Series is a candidate for die-sinking EDM, WEDM pallet transfer, electrode preparation, grinding, and inspection when the selected model, holder interface, environment, and validation plan fit the process. Suitability and results are application-specific.
How does it handle chips, dielectric fluid, and debris in automation?
Where the selected model and circuit include an air-blast or cleaning function, use it as one process-cleaning step and define wipe, purge, and inspection intervals for the actual dielectric, graphite, or chip load and sealing arrangement. Air blast does not by itself prove clean seating or installed repeatability.
What air supply quality is recommended for stable unattended cycles?
Published operating pressure is 0.5–0.8 MPa for the four listed models. Confirm the selected drawing and circuit, then specify air quality, filtration, drying, drainage, hose and valve sizing, and maintenance for the site; do not treat a generic filter grade or line length as a universal requirement.
How do I maintain the same Z reference across multiple machines?
Use verified holders and spigots plus a traceable master holder or gauge at each station. Establish the datum and measurement method, then record periodic results for every machine; a shared holder style alone does not guarantee the same installed Z reference or eliminate requalification.
Can it be integrated with robots or pallet systems safely?
Integration is possible only after the selected chuck, holder, payload, orientation, pneumatic circuit, sensing, control logic, guarding, and failure states are validated as a complete cell. Clamp, seating, and pressure signals may support process control, but they are not automatically safety-rated and do not replace the cell risk assessment, safety-related control system, FAT/SAT, or acceptance criteria.
