What is a Parallel chuck?

A parallel chuck is a tool used to securely hold workpieces on machine tools such as lathes and milling machines. This chuck features two parallel clamping surfaces that ensure the workpiece is firmly held in place. It allows for quick attachment and removal of the workpiece, while maintaining high precision in positioning. Parallel chucks are commonly used in precision machining and high-accuracy cutting applications. They can be operated manually or through hydraulic or pneumatic systems, and are available in various sizes and shapes to suit different needs. In manufacturing industries, parallel chucks are widely used to improve work efficiency and precision.

Application of Parallel chuck

１．Precision Machining
In precision machining, parallel chucks are used to firmly secure workpieces. They are particularly useful in manufacturing products requiring strict dimensional accuracy, such as molds and aerospace components.
２．Automobile Part Manufacturing
Parallel chucks are also used in the mass production of automotive engine parts, chassis components, and other precision parts. They offer high work efficiency and enable repetitive, high-precision processing.
３．Batch Production Line
In batch production lines, parallel chucks are used to quickly and efficiently secure a large number of workpieces. They are particularly beneficial in environments where fast workpiece changes are required, such as in low-volume, high-variety manufacturing.
