Flexible, low, and ultra-light – for this unique combination the SCHUNK ROT A-S flex manual chuck has been selected in the “industry” category for the renowned iF product design award 2014. This multi-purpose lathe chuck makes an impression with functional and optical appearance, sophisticated set-up, attractive design, and the brand typical design elements. It is particularly suitable for customers, who want to machine a broad workpiece range on the mill/turn machine. The lightweight chuck combines proven SCHUNK lathe chucks of the ROT A-S plus series with extended guideways, and turns them into useable large chucks. Compared with conventional lathe chucks for large clamping diameters, the deadweight with the ROT A-S flex is reduced by up to 60%. Considerably heavier workpieces can be machined at an identical table load. Due to the low height, plenty of space remains for workpiece and tool. A special lubrication system ensures for both variations permanently high clamping forces.
