X-TREME is an evolution of our world renowned Multi-Lock Milling Chuck and was developed as part of a larger project to meet the needs of a major aerospace manufacturer. The customer requirement was to improve manufacturing times and the reduce costs associated with machining titanium (Ti 6Al 4V) jet engine fan hubs. The hubs consisted of a series of deep slots, 22 in total around the periphery, which finally would also be milled to a ‘bulb’ form shape. The original process had been in place for many years and, based on tool failure alone, had demonstrated serious reliability issues which over time had proven extremely costly in both material and labour rates. Early in the development a standard NIKKEN Multi-Lock was evaluated but, even with it’s supremely high mechanical gripping force, ultimately it wasn’t successful – though the best on test, once the end mill began to wear and the cutting forces increased, the end mill was finally ‘drawn’ and crept out of the chuck bore over repeated slots. Optimum gripping Designed for direct chucking of the end mill (no collet) Patented shank retention system Absolute cutter security and process reliablity Fully sealed Fully sealed system for coolant through the tool (external jet coolant conversion possible) Wide option choice X-TREME is available from stock to suit numerous spindle types/sizes Ultimate performance THE solution for demanding materials, applications & processes
