0 Comments

 
Masa Tool introduces a 5C Microconic cartridge that maintains 5 µm concentricity and is now available for machining centers, CNC lathes, CNC mills, gang-tool lathes, like Omniturn, CNC mill/turn, like Nakamura, Miyano, Mori-Seiki, and even rotary indexers as well as tool and cutter grinders!

Microconic 5C cartridge replaces a standard 5C collet to provide extended nose reach and 0.0002" concentriciy
5C collets are some of the most widely used and versatile clamping methods used in metalcutting lathes and mills today but have never been able to provide the accuracy and rigidity often needed for small diameter parts. Until now...
Development of the the 5C cartridge dates back to the late 1990's but this newly introduced version is manufactured using our unique "Microconic" production methods that provide more accuracy and rigidity than was ever possible with any other "off-the-shelf" rotating clamping system.

The “Microconic System” is a miniaturized collet system that consists of two major components: the Microconic “cartridge” that fits directly into 5C spindles and the Microconic collet that is a “right size” style collet.

The major features of the new 5C cartridge include:
  • Solid extended nose, giving superior access for tooling and coolant, with minimal overhang.
  • The 5C Cartridge's core diameter is a single piece construction that will maintain 5 µm/.0002" concentricity at the extended nose tip.
  • Micrometer dial control of collet closure regardless of the machines hydraulic or pneumatic collet closing force. 
  • Versatility & Standardization. Microconic UM10 collets fit any M10 series cartridge on any machine permitting your to standardize your small part workholding regardless if the machine has a 5C or TF25 spindle.
  • Ideally suited for small diameter part size range from .2mm/.008" to 10mm/.3934" diameter
  • 2-days shipping on all cartridges and collets​.
