The production and machining of workpieces with intersecting axes requires a clamping solution that is adapted to the special features of such workpiece types. FORKARDT’s economical solution consists of hydraulically operated indexing chucks, which offer all the prerequisites to remain independent of special machines and transfer lines.
The straightforward design, simple control and flexible mounting options of these indexing chucks allow them to be used on relatively simple turret or NC lathes. Workpieces can be machined in one clamping with fully automatic work sequence and with up to 6 different indexing positions while the machine spindle is running!

Crossbeam processing: For the machining of crossbores, small and medium size, the turning accuracy of the roughing process is generally sufficiently precise. For very large spigots, such as Compensation stars with a total length of 300 mm and more, the turnover accuracy can be improved by sizing.
Valve processing: For the production of valve parts in small and medium lot sizes, the use of automatic
Swivel chucks already starting from a dimension of more than 1 “economically interesting. The reason is in addition to the rational relationship of
Setup at peak times in the more effective utilization of the machines.
