Microconic™ Products

The Microconic™ workholding system was developed to accurately hold and clamp small diameter parts in lathes and swiss style CNC machines. The system consists of two components: a Cartridge and a series of collets.  In the past you where stuck with whatever was on the machine.  Most systems designed to hold the largest part and not tailored to the small part and lose accuracy. We've changed all of that!  We've created a workholding system that allows you to hold smaller parts with a higher level or accuracy and clamping pressure than every before achieved!  
We take care of the small end! 
The Microconic™ system consists of the cartridge and the collet. The Microconic™ cartridge fits in your machine just like a standard collet. The microconic collet then fits into the cartridge. 

The cartridge has an extended nose, which is solid from the front face to the rear of the cartridge. It is very rigid and accurate and much better than extended nose collets. 

The cartridge also provides fine control of collet clamping force, so that fragile or small parts can be held very carefully without damage, but with a solid grip and extreme concentricity.

We currently have in stock Microconic™ cartridges for machines with the standard TF25/F25 and 5C collets. We will soon have cartridges to fit a wide variety of machines.   Once installation of the cartridge is accomplished, your workholding becomes "plug and play."     [READ MORE]

Currently our microconic™ collets are offered only in our 10mm size.  Soon we will be releasing a 6mm size. 

Microconic™ collets fit into any of our cartridges. 

Collets are available in all sizes from 0.2mm to 10mm. Any size can ship in 2 days.    [READ MORE]

Our microconic™ overgrip collets can open up to 4mm larger than the gripping size, and hold with extreme concentricity and rigidity. Typically within 5 microns concentricity (.0002") if the machine itself is in perfect condition. The overgrip collets are also shown on the attached list and available for shipment within 2 days.    [READ MORE]
Advantages:
  • Reduce set up times
  • Minimize part change time
  • Increase cut time
  • Gain efficiency with repetitive machine operations
  • Reduce labor costs
Precision Sub-spindle Machining is now an option where without MASA Microconic System, it was seldom or never possible!
We perform 3 functions:
  1. Fit into every host machine.
  2. Cartridge has self contained chucking force control - machine collet locks under normal tension. microconic collet is indepenctendlty adjustable
  3. Solid extended nose
