JAB Rotary Collet Chuck for Laser Tube Cutting
A JAB collet chuck holds the tubular part below the laser head. The machining view shows the cutting position relative to the gripping opening. The chuck supports rotary workholding while the laser works on the exposed section of the part.
How the grip works
JAB is a front-push pneumatic rotary collet chuck. Air pressure actuates the internal mechanism through the matching collet. It opens and closes the grip while the chuck supports rotary work. The product page covers turning, grinding and other rotary setups. Match the collet to the chuck model, gripping profile and part diameter.
Front-push actuation suits operations that need a consistent part projection. Keep the locating face clean and seat the part at its intended stop. Leave clearance between the air connections, rotating parts and machine guarding. The linked product page lists model data and mounting dimensions.
What to check in this setup
- Match the collet bore to the tube profile.
- Check moving clearance between laser head and chuck.
- Provide support and feed for long tubes.
