It is a dilemma those who produce small and medium series on 3-jaw chucks will be familiar with. The short set-up times of quick-change chucks are appealing, but they often need to be greased after a few hours and cleaned thoroughly every couple of weeks. Sealed chucks, on the other hand, promise longer maintenance intervals, but require significantly more time for each individual set-up process. A visit to the pilot user mbb Metallbearbeitung Becker GmbH in Biedenkopf shows where the potential lies and why the chuck is providing new impetus for turning applications.

Since reorganizing the internal processes, the toolmaking company Eberhardt GmbH & Co. KG from Cleebronn is able to operate faster, more flexibly and efficiently. At the same time, output has risen noticeably. An essential cornerstone in the concept was a comprehensive standardization of its clamping technology. It means that a 5-axis mill/turn center with pallet storage can fully harness its potential and according to Production Manager Marco Joch, "literally eat away at the components".
