Key Components of the MaxxMacro® System
The MaxxMacro® system comprises three fundamental components: the drawbar, the pallet, and the chuck. Each plays a crucial role in achieving efficient, repeatable, and precise workholding solutions.
1. Drawbar
The drawbar is a critical element in the MaxxMacro® system, enabling secure clamping of a pallet into a chuck with a simple twist. Various drawbar models are available to match different chuck types, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. When selecting a drawbar, it is essential to refer to the specific chuck's product description to determine the appropriate model. Explore Drawbars
2. Pallet
MaxxMacro® pallets serve as the intermediary between the workpiece and the chuck. They come in different models, including standard stainless cast versions and MaxxPerformance variants machined from solid block 440C stainless steel. Available in 54mm and 70mm sizes, these pallets accommodate a range of workholding needs. Many MaxxMacro® products include pallets as standard, ensuring seamless integration. Browse Pallets
3. Chuck
The chuck is the foundation of the MaxxMacro® system, maintaining workpiece positioning with a repeatability of 0.002mm. It allows for secure mounting of MaxxMacro® products while offering different locking clamping forces tailored to various applications. Choosing the right chuck ensures maximum efficiency and precision in machining processes. View Chucks
Enhancing Productivity with MaxxMacro®
