ID Workholding System Enhances Precision Machining with Advanced Clamping

Manufacturers facing challenges with internal bore machining now have access to a groundbreaking solution that addresses critical stability and precision concerns. The ID Workholding System represents a significant technological advancement in precision machining capabilities.

This innovative system transforms machining operations by ensuring absolute stability even at high spindle speeds. The technology delivers exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy through its unique design approach.

At the core of this system lies the advanced ATS soft-machining collet technology, which establishes 360-degree uniform contact with workpiece internal bores. This comprehensive contact eliminates vibration and deformation caused by uneven clamping, achieving remarkable total indicator runout (T.I.R.) of .0002 inches or better.

• Superior Internal Bore Clamping: Engineered specifically to overcome internal machining challenges with unmatched stability
• ATS Soft-Machining Collet Technology: Precision-adaptable collets ensure optimal contact and clamping performance
• Full 360-Degree Contact: Provides uniform support while minimizing stress concentration
• Expansive Clamping Range: Accommodates diameters from 0.75 inches to 6.00 inches
• Exceptional T.I.R. Performance: Guarantees total indicator runout ≤ .0002 inches
• Universal Spindle Compatibility: Supports American Standard and select flat-face spindle interfaces

Beyond standard offerings, specialized configurations are available for unique workpiece geometries or extreme precision requirements. Engineering teams collaborate directly with manufacturers to develop tailored solutions.
