E-Series Automation Chuck
Precision for Automated Manufacturing
The NEXTAS E-Series Chuck is the definitive solution for high-precision, automated manufacturing. Fully compatible with the EROWA ITS system, this chuck provides a universal interface for electrodes and workpieces across various processes like EDM, milling, and grinding. Its robust design and exceptional repeatability make it the cornerstone of any modern, flexible production environment.
Core Advantages
- Exceptional Repeatability: Guarantees a positioning accuracy of ≤ 0.002mm, ensuring seamless transfer of workpieces between machines without losing precision.
- Powerful Clamping Force: Delivers up to 6000 N of clamping force, providing a secure and rigid hold for stable machining, even in demanding applications.
- Full EROWA ITS Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with existing EROWA ITS holders, pallets, and automation systems, protecting your investment.
- Corrosion-Resistant Design: Constructed from stainless, rust-resistant steel, making it ideal for EDM environments and ensuring a long service life.
The Foundation of Flexible Manufacturing
The NEXTAS E-Series Chuck operates on a proven principle of precision and reliability. The chuck's internal mechanism, actuated by compressed air, opens the clamping collet to accept a workpiece holder or electrode. When the air is released, the collet closes with immense force, pulling the holder into a precise, repeatable Z-position against the hardened contact surface. This system not only ensures accuracy but also allows for rapid, automated changes, forming the backbone of a "set up once, machine anywhere" production philosophy.
Built for Durability and Automation
Manufactured from high-grade, rust-proof stainless steel, the E-Series Chuck is engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of EDM and grinding operations. Its sealed design prevents ingress of dielectric fluid and abrasive particles. Integrated connections for air pressure, cleaning, and presence check functions allow for seamless communication with robotic handlers and machine controllers, making it a truly "plug-and-play" component for any automation cell.
A Universal Standard
By adopting the E-Series chucking system, you standardize the interface between your machines and your workpieces. A single palletized workpiece can be moved from a milling center for roughing, to an EDM machine for finishing, and finally to a CMM for inspection, all without ever being removed from its original, precise holder. This eliminates re-clamping errors, reduces setup time, and unlocks massive potential for process optimization and automation.
