Chuck base plate

metalcustom

Shown in the photo is a custom setup to hold multiple size knee-joints simultaneously. Our custom baseplate includes air-porting for Chuck clamping, Chuck unclamping, Part blowoff, and Part air detect/ part seat confirmation, all manufactured to bolt onto the customer specific machine. Mounted to the baseplate are 4 Northfield Model CV-450 chucks. Each chuck has custom top tooling consisting of, one fixed jaw and one moving jaw to clamp onto 4 unique customer parts. The top tooling incorporates passages for Part air detect/ part seat confirmation, as well as tooling clearance. Along with this setup is a Force analyzer to assure proper clamping force.
