A high quality collet is desirable when it comes to precision machining of small parts for the medical and aerospace industries. For a quality part that meets high-precision specifications, you need a burr-free collet with guaranteed concentricity. This collet would be finish ground to provide a smooth and concentric gripping area (order hole) for the bar stock or workpiece. Hardinge Swiss-style collets meet all of these requirements.
Also available are gripping solutions for producing small diameter parts. Hardinge products include headstock collets, pickoff collets, carbide guide bushings, bar loader collets and custom manufactured solutions.
