Just Released! The 2018 -2019 Masa Tool Microconic Catalog

9/4/2018

We have just released the NEW 2018-2019 Masa Tool Catalog! Our first batch of new catalogs is shipping directly to our IMTS booth in Chicago for release, but you can download your own copy right here!

The 2018-2019 catalog features NEW PRODUCTS including:

The NEW push type F37M10 Cartridge that replaces the standard TF37 collet in your CNC spindle and will be introduced at IMTS 2018.
The NEW Comprehensive Range of Microguide EGS™ Ejection Guide Sleeves in Different Materials. (July 2018)
The NEW push type F201 Cartridge that replaces the standard F20 collet. (April 2018)
The NEW Long-Land T-type Over-Grip Collets (February 2018)
The NEW Large Open V-Type Over-Grip Collets. (February 2018)

The Masa Microconic system consists of the cartridge, which fits into your machine like a standard collet, and the Microconic collets which fit into the cartridge.

The Microconic system provides:

Solid extended nose — extremely rigid
Micrometer-adjust control of collet closure — even the most fragile parts can be held safely and firmly.
Extreme accuracy — concentricity within 5μm (0.0002”) runout.
The Microconic cartridge can be used as a gauge to verify machine spindle accuracy.
Collets available from Ø0.2mm (0.008”) to 10mm (0.394”).
All collets hardened and precision ground to the highest quality standards.
Over-grip collets with performance unlike anything else! Open 4mm larger than the clamping diameter. Unmatched rigidity and concentricity. If you have tried other over-grip collets then you will be shocked at the difference — our Microconic over-grip collets are amazing.
The Microconic collets fit in any Microconic cartridge, no matter which machine.

Masa Tool Microconic F37 Cartridge IMTS 2018

OCEANSIDE, CA - Masa Tool has just released the newest product in the Microconic line of cartridges for swiss machine workholding. The NEW push type F37M10 Cartridge replaces the standard TF37 collet in your CNC spindle. This enables you to use our Microconic collets to achieve concentricity guaranteed to be within 5µm (0.0002") in production use.

The F37M10 Cartridge is a micro-workholding system for use in high precision, small diameter CNC turning applications which enables you to move more work to the sub spindle operations and reduce cycle time.

Compatible with spindles that accept DIN 1536E, Meister Swiss 563, Schaublin F37 (76-740), Southwick & Meister TF37, KEB (MasWerks) MC37, Hardinge TF37 / 4619 collets.

Masa’s Cartridge and Collet assembly is designed to vector the chucking force directly over the holding surface. This means that the chucking force can be reduced while at the same time the holding power is increased. This opens up the possibility of moving part operations to the sub-spindle and dramatically reducing cycle time. 20% ~ 40% cycle time reduction is commonly achieved.

This new cartridge will be demonstrated for the first time at IMTS 2018 in the West Building, Level 3 & Annex - Tooling & Workholding Systems - 432232

Fits the following models of machine

Citizen Models: E32K, E232
Hanwha Models: SL32HP
KSI Models: SA32
Maier Models: ML-32A/32B, ML-32C/32D, ML-32E, MLK-32

Masa Expands Offering of Microconic Over-Grip Collets with New Long-Land T-type Series.

OCEANSIDE, CA. Masa Tool has expanded their line of Microconic over-grip collets to include a new style called a "T-type." The T-type over-grip collet has a longer gripping surface than the original W-type. We designed it specifically for longer parts such as bone screws with wide pitch threads.

The Microconic over-grip collets provide more work holding and programming options than previously available. It enables you to move operations from the main spindle to the sub-spindle. This balances the work being performed between the main and sub time which can dramatically reduce cycle time.

The land width on the W-type over-grip collet, pictured at the right, is approximately 1 X Diameter of the workpiece.

The Microconic W-type over-grip collet can swallow up to 4mm over the held diameter

But, in some cases, with longer parts, the land width "B" needs to be longer to support the workpiece properly.

Masa's new T-type collet provides the solution for longer workpieces

Typically with over-gripping applications, a shorter land length/clamping pad length/grip length is desired because of limited space available to hold the workpiece behind the enlarged head or flange that it is reaching over. That is what our original W-type collet was optimized for.

However, with longer parts, with more surface area for clamping and gripping room, a longer land length is often preferred to provide more stability to support the longer length workpiece.

It may also be necessary with very wide-pitched threads, such as on bone screws, where a long land in the collet allows spanning several thread pitches instead of just one or two. This same spanning issue can occur with parts that have wide grooves.

The new "T-type" over-grip collet, has a longer gripping surface than our original W-type: Typically 2 - 3 times the diameter of the workpiece.

For extra long parts, the T-type collet provides the opening needed for the larger head to pass through the collet, so it can be pushed through the back end of the spindle for ejection when required.

Microconic T Type Overgrip 2-3X Land width

The Microconic T-type over-grip collet provides 2 -3 times the land width "B" of the W-type over-grip collet to support longer parts.

Microconic T-Type Over-grip Collet features

Standard gripping land length is 2x - 3x diameter. (vs. about 1x diameter with W-type)
Available from Ø1.55 - 7.2mm (Ø.061" - .283").
Opens 3.5mm diameter (.138") larger than the clamping diameter. (vs. 4mm larger with W-type).
Every size available to ship within 2 days of order.
Same Microconic accuracy and rigidity.

Typical uses are generally for over-gripping of longer parts:

Bone screws with wide-pitch threads
Orthopedic surgical drills and taps
Long shafts with flange
Long, thin walled tubular parts
Long plastic parts

Masa Microconic Overgrip Collets: W-type (upper) & T-type (lower)

If you've tried other companies overgrip collets with poor results, Microconic over-grip collets will allow you to do things you might have thought impossible!
