“NOBEL CHUCK” large-sized chucks for lathes
This equipment secures large circular components with remarkable precision. Large circular components are, for example, “wheels for trains,” “aircraft engine components” and “bearings for wind power generators” etc., and come in many sizes from those which can be held by one hand to those of several hundreds tons. NOBEL chuck secures these large components with strength and precision in order to cut them by machine tools. Large components are generally few in number but wide in variation and machining demands are likewise varied. That is why we design and offer equipment best suited for those components.
Pallet Chnager ･ Tool Changer
This equipment transfers workpieces to be machined by machine tools and tools for machining. The equipment is configured to utilize various drive devices such as servo motors, and serves to increase the added value of machine tools.
Machining Center Accessories
