How can we help you?

Chucks wear out over time, even with proper maintenance.

Watch for these signs:

• Higher hydraulic pressure needed to maintain a secure grip.
• Jaw flaring or kicking out when clamping a workpiece.
• Loss of concentricity, even with pre-machined soft jaws.
• Persistent chatter on the workpiece.
• Worn or damaged master jaw serrations.

If you notice any of these, it’s time to service or replace your chuck to keep machining safe and accurate.

Greasing your chuck with the right lubricant, like Kitagawa Chuck Grease Pro White, keeps it performing at its best. Proper lubrication reduces friction, increases grip force by 40–70%, and extends the chuck’s life. This grease resists extreme pressure, coolant washout, and centrifugal forces. Regular greasing ensures a consistent grip, reduces wear, and improves machining efficiency while cutting down maintenance and downtime.

We recommend applying two shots of grease per master jaw at the start of each shift. The amount may vary depending on grip cycles, grip force, materials, and operating conditions. Regular greasing reduces friction, keeps maximum grip force, and improves chuck efficiency while extending its life. Always use the manufacturer-recommended lubricant for the best results.

Yes, we sell master jaws. However, we would recommend replacing the chuck if the master jaws have been damaged, worn or involved in a crash as this can affect your chuck's performance and accuracy.  If unsure our team is happy to help with expert advice.

Workholding must ensure accessibility, rigidity, and repeatability while allowing full tool access. Lang Technik’s Makro-Grip 5-Axis Vice offers strong clamping with pre-stamping technology for secure holding at low pressure. Lang Technik’s Quick-Point System enables rapid, precise workpiece changes, improving efficiency and machining quality.

A stamping unit is crucial for achieving precise, repeatable clamping with minimal effort. It enables quick, secure, and consistent workholding for high-precision parts. Pre-stamping technology eliminates the need to machine a dovetail profile, which is not always required for the workpiece. This reduces setup times, protects parts from deformation, and boosts productivity. Systems like Lang Technik’s Makro-Grip offer reliable clamping with fast changeovers, increasing efficiency in both high-mix and high-volume machining.

Using modular and high-density workholding—such as tombstones, grid plates, and zero-point systems—minimises setup times and boosts spindle uptime. Lang Technik’s Quick-Point System and OK-Vise’s Multi-Rail System streamline job changeovers while maintaining rigidity and precision, allowing for efficient loading of multiple parts and maximising your HMC’s productivity.

Most NC rotary tables come with a 3-jaw chuck. Adding a zero-point system allows fast swaps between a chuck, vice, or trunnion. Lang Technik’s Quick-Point System offers even more flexibility with a through-bore option.

Billets start uniform but often finish non-uniform, making quick workholding changes crucial. A zero-point system enables seamless transitions between vices, chucks, and fixtures, cutting setup times from an hour to minutes. Solutions like Lang Technik’s Quick-Point 96/52 System and Jergens Ball-Lock System boost productivity and efficiency.

Vertical machining centres have large tables, yet standard vices often underutilise space. A flexible workholding system, like OK-Vise’s Multi-Rail, increases clamping force and allows multiple small or large workpieces without constant reconfiguration, maximising table use and efficiency.
