Collets, tool holders and material clamping systems

For over 40 years, our clamping tool products have been packed in orange boxes which are known worldwide as a distinctive mark in the machining industry.

Clamping systems

Collets and Tool Holders are primarily clamping devices and expandable or expanding arbors.

Toolholders

Tool Holders are manufactured to meet or exceed ISO, HSK or DIN standards. We also produce cylindrical tool holders, Morse tapers, and specific applications in particular machines or applications.

The clamping function of the tool holder is available for use with Weldon tool holders, shrink fit, or collet chucks.

Schaublin will also custom engineer applications that require clamping abilities.

Work holding collets are used to grip material or detail parts or cutting tools in either primary or secondary spindles or workheads. These collets are designed for either drawback or pull type actuation or thrust type dead length collets where the force on the taper closes the collet on the part to be gripped.

Collets are generally made from steel, brass, or made with inserts of other materials.

Tool holders are used as the link between the spindle of the machine and the tool used for machining. There are tool holders designed for standard use, at speeds not exceeding 10'000/12'000 rpm, and also for machining at high or very high speed. Schaublin is widely known for its expertise of these new technologies.

Applications and uses of the Schaublin collets and toolholders

Our collets and tool holders are found in any machine or tooling shops. Our products are used in Swiss type screw machines, turning and grinding machine tools, and in machining or milling centers.

Industrial applications are as varied as watch-making, medical, micro-mechanics, automotive engineering, machine construction.

We work closely with numerous machinery manufacturers in order to best meet their quality, reliability, and performance criteria for the needs of increasingly specialized new generations of machines.
