Microconic Cartridges

The Microconic™ cartridge fits into your CNC lathe or swiss machine and transforms the spindle into a highly accurate miniature work holding system. Installing the Microconic cartrdige enables your shop to convert all of your facilities  turning machines spindles  to a one universally sized Microconic collet for your small diameter workholding.  All cartridges are precision groundhigh-chromium tool steel. Our manufacturing tolerance is 3µm (.0001") and we guarantee  our cartridges to be within 5µm (0.0002") in production use in your machine .  The robust design and materials ensure reliability and longevity in the most demanding production environment, while providing extreme accuracy.
Advantages of the Microconic™ Cartridge
  • Every Microconic cartridge comes standard with extended nose  for unsurpassed rigidity because of it's single piece construction.
  • Installed like a standard collet in your machine, and actuated like a normal collet.  No modifications of the machine are necessary. 
  • For both draw-type collet systems, like 5C &16C, and push-type "dead length" systems, such as TF16, TF20, TF25 & TF37.
  • NOW you can move production operations to the sub-spindle of from the main in your CNC lathes to equalize out cutting time.
  • Micrograd™ adjustment face dial wrench give you precise & repeatable control of collet clamping pressure.  This is unique to our system!
  • Delicate parts are held firmly and precisely, every time.
  • Designed with an extended nose that is solid and rigid, yet small in diameter so tooling and coolant have easy access to workpiece. 
  • Designed to eliminate the need for extended nose collets.
  • Superior in concentricity, rigidity, and gripping force than standard collets & emergency collets.

5CM10 Cartridge

NEW!!!  The 5C cartridge features:
  • Solid extended nose, giving superior access for tooling with minimal overhang while maintaining 5 µm/.0002" concentricity.
  • Micrometer dial control of collet closure regardless of the machines hydraulic or pneumatic collet closing force.

If you have any secondary gang-tool or turret lathes with 5C collet system you will LOVE the Microconic 5CM10 cartridge. Better tool clearance with the extended nose. Micrometer control of collet closure regardless of hydraulic/pneumatic/manual collet closing mechanism of the machine. Unbeatable concentricity.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES

Our Micrograd™ Graduated Collet Wrench (CW10) is included with Microconic™ Cartridge  purchase. All UM10, 10mm systems are supplied with a CW10 Micrograd Wrench while all UM5 collet systems are supplies with a CW5 Micrograd Wrench

The Micrograd™ Graduated Collet Wrench provides a method of precisely setting clamping pressure on both the Microconic collets and an Microconic overgrip collets .  It can be adjusted in metric increments of 0,02mm and imperial increments of .001"

Please see our installation procedures for more details on how to set up and replicate your clamping pressure on every machine in your shop.

Each Micrcoconic™ Cartridge is supplied with a 1.5mm Hex ball tip Screwdriver (HSD15)
