Collet Closers are an excellent tool for increasing productivity with grinders, lathes and CNC machines. By using collet closers, this removes unnecessary repetitive steps, thereby streamlining your operations and enhancing efficiency.
Lexair offers a broad range of collet closers including:
Lexair offers a range of stationary collet workholding components which can be utilized individually or grouped into a system. Pull-back collet closers are the right choice for use when holding parts for inspection, testing and assembly procedures. The fixed-length collet closure is particularly effective in some operations because the collet itself doesn’t move – causing the part or fixture to maintain a fixed position from part-to-part, allowing for higher precision to be achieved. Lexair collet closers can be mounted both vertically or horizontally. We can provide round, hex, square or custom profile collets to suit your specific needs.
Lexair is an authorized distributor for Hardinge® FlexC™ vulcanized collet heads for use in these collet closers. Collet heads are available in 42mm and 65mm sizes in round smooth, round serrated, hex serrated, square smooth and emergency styles. The collet heads are sealed to minimize chips and sludge from entering the spindle. Collets are available in inch capacities from 1/4" up to 2-9/16" and metric capacities from 6mm up to 65mm.
